Close to all things major; museum, castle, shopping, supermarkets, food (eat in and take out). Fantastic location in a very clean and tidy suburb. On days that you don't feel like doing much travel, just take a walk around Otamae and you'll be sure to find something that interests you :) Staff were friendly and helpful, especially seeing as how we got a little lost and turned up late. Excellent hotel, would definitely stay there again, and would recommend to fellow travelers.
