The hotel is very well located as it is right next to the bus stop and metro station, which is very convenient as the bus from the airport leaves you literally at the entrance of the hotel. In the metro station there are restaurants and shops. Also, it's very close to the stadium and convention center, only two block away!

Finally, the breakfast buffet is very good!

What could be improved: Overall a very good experience in the hotel. The staff was very helpful but maybe as it is an international hotel, they should improve their communication in English.

What could be improved: For the price I felt the gym and pool use should be included. I had trouble finding a restaurant that served GFfood but we were able to talk with the chef at the Chinese restaurant and he made us an excellent GF dinner!

The location is right next to Kokura shinkansen station, so it's a big plus. The room was very spacious, and offered at a very competitive price. I've been staying in and around Kokura a number of times for the last 15 or so years, and this was definitely the best spot.
