I stayed for three nights in a deluxe twin room and appreciated the very ample space, elegant furniture with attractive fabrics, big desk, good lighting, and deep bath. I felt safe and comfortable there. The TV was large, there were two couches and heaps of storage. The fridge had a freezer, and there was a microwave oven. The bathroom had a decent amount of bench space and nice tiles. The bath and shower were separate from the sink and its seat, and the toilet was also in its own room with an auto light. There was a retractable clothes line and mini clothes airer/dryer which were useful. The bathroom and toilet doors were lockable. The views of the city and mountains were pleasing, although a large gravelled outdoor area with an unclear purpose right below one window detracted from them a bit. The staff were nice, and the set meal breakfast was great. Complimentary items included newspapers, bottles of water, facial cleansing and nurturing products, and bath salts were available with the amenities which could be picked up in the lobby. One morning I forgot to take down the "do not disturb" sign, and found staff had left hand towels, slippers, a toothbrush, body towel and water outside my door. On the days when cleaning did take place, the room attendant's name was provided. A few negative things have reduced my overall rating. On the final afternoon I found there was only the one toilet roll (there'd been a spare one up till then). I suppose some people take the extra toilet rolls when they leave but it was very thin paper and I was quite worried that I'd run out the next morning. I didn't experience that at any other hotels. I slept ok, but did hear the fridge sometimes. I had to refill the humidifier every day. The only drinking vessels were two cups and two plastic beakers (no glasses). The requirement to leave the room key at the front desk could mean waiting quite some time while people checked in, just to get the key back. The hotel is in a good location near Shim Maebashi Station, eateries, a small supermarket and various other shops. I walked to some Maebashi sights including stunning Rinkokaku but it was a fair distance away. Overall I was satisfied with my choice.
