Loved the cedar bath. Wonderful facilities including microwave, utensils, coffee pods, and seats. Very comfortable bed. We tried the Japanese breakfast one morning which was served in our room, at 8am and great. A traditional feel was created with tatami mats, yet combined with western comforts. The staff were very helpful
