Cherry Blossom Stay
The room was clean and comfortable. It was what I needed for the weekend to enjoy the cherry blossoms. It was well located where I was able to walk to most places and had really good restaurants near by.

All around good!
We had a great stay. Excellent (for this price point; hence the 4 stars rather than 5). The room was updated and clean. Front desk staff and housekeeping were kind and responsive. Breakfast was better than expected for an included/free meal. We would definitely stay here again!
