This hotel has a lobby that feels more like a regular hotel than a japanese business hotel, but conversely, the opposite applied to my room. The room was comfortable (the bed was very nice), but while it was clean, there definitely was a few spots that could have done with a bit more cleaning- such as a mysterious white spot on the couch. Even so, I had a good stay overall, and the staff were very nice. Still, I'd say you're mainly paying for the convenient location right next to Kumamoto Station, as this hotel otherwise doesn't quite match the value for money I've gotten at other hotels here in Japan.
