Gora Karaku has 70 rooms. It's run by the large car rental car company Orix. While it gets decent reviews, I'd pass on this property if I were you.
Thanks for the recommendations. Gora is not a necessity, just chose it due to it being somewhat convenient as we'll head to Kyoto right after. Happy to consider other locations as well as, if there are better options.
