Slightly far from Sakae Station. Being a senior citizen, took about 15 minutes. Once I located the elevators and escalators, traveling around was much easier. Since I didn't order the hotel breakfast, the many convenience stores around the Smile hotel was helpful.

Good hotel”

The hotel is easy to find. From the Sakae station you go to exit no.13 and walk from the station about 5 minutes. And due to the Sakae station is a big station.there are a lot of exit and connect to the shopping mall. You can use their elevator to go to the ground floor. But if you are check out early in the morning. It might be trouble if you have a big luggage cause the shopping mall is not open yet. You have to bring luggage down by stair. There are club around the hotel. But it safe. I stay with my sister and nobody disturb you. The bed is bigger than the the other hotel in Japan that I ever seen. Staff is very nice. It worth to stay here. If I go to Nagoya I will stay there again.

Very Good Hotel”

Location is very good, near Sakae Subway Station and Centrair Limousine Bus Stop at Tokyu so it is convenient if you have big luggage for airport transfer. The staffs always smiling especially the young woman who received me. The room facing the road is slightly bigger than the one facing the other. I could use some food/snack vending machines there but that's not a big deal since there are a lot of food options at Sakae. Will stay there again if I ever go to Nagoya.
