The hotels is on a bit of an alley, but that alley is connected to the main road that runs south from the station. The staff was fine. A few were lovely, but most were just "fine." The room itself was nearly identical, in terms of layout, to a room at an APA hotel I'd stayed at recently. Once I'd figured out the air conditioner, the room was comfortable. The room actually had a cityscape view, which I wasn't expecting, so that was nice. The bed was comfortable. I was able to plug my Switch into the TV, although I mostly just used it for YouTube. I apparently got free breakfast each morning, which I used twice; it wasn't amazing, but it was filling and it was free. The rice and curry was the standout dish, I'd say. The coin laundry cost me 700 yen (I think? possibly 600 yen) for a wash and two runs of the dryer, to get my clothes good and dry. There was an outlet in the bathroom, which was something the highly-similar APA hotel didn't have. There was an Anytime Fitness a couple minute's walk down the alley (which I joined while I was in the US before this trip). There was loads of restaurants, convenience stores, vending machines and shopping in the area, if you're into that sort of thing (shopping, that is; not my scene, personally). Things I saw but didn't try: a teriyaki stall which is highly rated on Google Maps; a horse meat restaurant with a sign out front that says "No horse meat, no life," which I could swear I've seen a picture of before.
