Met my needs for the night.
Pros:

Water and drinks on the top floor until 12am. Breakfast had a lot of variety. Great view of Kumamoto castle. Huge catalogue of manga.

Cons:

Room was outdated. Fixtures were old. Clothes line was broken. Holes in the walls of the room that have not been repaired.

Pros:

The room was great, comfortable bed and the 10th floor viewing area was wonderful. Friendly staff as well

Cons:

Wifi was terrible in the evening. I don't mind slow, but it frequently stopped working. But honestly that is the only niggle I had, and that is a minor if I'm honest.
