Great Stay for Family
Pros:

Great and helpful staff, located in a quiet neighborhood but yet still easily accessible to the metro and family mart.

Cons:

Would have been better if the TV was a Smart TV given the selling point is for family.

Perfect Family Accomodations
Pros:

This was our favorite hotel stay for our entire 2+ weeks in Japan. Everything was wonderful-- the staff, the amenities, the room itself. We will absolutely stay at a MIMARU whenever it is an option in our future travels. They even had our luggage that we shipped ahead waiting in our room for us.

Totally recommend this hotel for families.
Pros:

We loved this hotel. It was clean and the layout was great even for 4 people. They cleaned our room everyday and the staff were all helpful. The location is excellent. A family mart next door, train station is close by, Starbucks, 7/11, Life grocery store, and Gold’s Gym all walking distance.

Cons:

I liked everything about it. The rooms are not huge of course by North American standards but they used the space wisely. My kids loved this place the most compared to our airbnbs.
