The property markets itself as a love hotel in Miyagi and emphasizes discreet arrivals, a vehicle-friendly layout and proximity to transport corridors while remaining outside the busiest central neighbourhoods.
Guest rooms are arranged for self-contained comfort: each is equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, fridge, microwave, electric kettle and a private bathroom fitted with a shower or bathtub, bidet and standard toiletries. Practical extras noted for convenience include slippers, a hairdryer and workspace in many units. On-site services include free Wi‑Fi throughout the property, 24-hour reception, optional room service and on-site parking. The hotel offers a choice of Asian or American-style breakfast and maintains standard house policies such as a check-in window beginning late afternoon and a mid-day check-out; pets are not accepted and underage guests are required to be accompanied by a legal guardian where applicable.
Rooms are compact and functional rather than decorative, with a focus on privacy, ease of use and straightforward amenities suitable for couples or solo travellers seeking a discreet, no-frills option near Sendai. The layout and service model favour short, convenient stays: quick arrivals, basic in-room dining and self-contained facilities that make the property a practical choice for visitors who prioritise convenience and privacy over extensive on-site leisure offerings. As a local love hotel in Tohoku, it balances simple comforts with practical access to the wider Sendai area.

Negative Reviews
Tobacco smell and lack of non-smoking rooms
Several guests reported strong cigarette odors in rooms and noted the absence of designated non-smoking rooms; some had to use provided sprays repeatedly to reduce the smell.
Room size can be small or cramped
While some rooms are spacious, several reviewers experienced narrow layouts, tight gaps beside the bed and small bathrooms that felt smaller than advertised.
Aging rooms and occasional cleanliness concerns
A number of reviews mentioned older decor, visible wear or stains and dust in places, which could be problematic for allergy sufferers or guests expecting newer finishes.
Location is somewhat far from the station
Multiple guests found the hotel a bit distant from the train station; although parking is available and helpful for drivers, the distance is a downside for those arriving on foot or by public transport.
