New, clean hotel near JR Okayama Station. You can't beat the location: Lots of shops and restaurants around such as Aeon Mall, Ichiban-gai (underground shopping area at the station), Takashimaya Department store. The Nishigawa Ryokudo Park (canal area) is nearby. Also, you can easily go to Okayama castle by using the street car.
This popular hotel chain is known for its free hot spring, popsicles, and yonaki soba (ramen), in which my family didn't show any interest.
What I loved about this hotel is its laundry area. It was so clean, easy to use, and functional. It really helped our stay!
