Good location, and despite its faults, the rates were fair for what you got and the conveniences nearby. I got a smoking room, but it wasn't a surprise from the listing, just be prepared for it. here is an in room laundry, which was nice, but be prepared to research how to use a Japanese Laundry as the instructions provided are poorly translated. The bathroom was easily the worst part. It is desperately in need of renovation. The bidet/washlet attachment to the toilet seat didn't even fit, and the drainage for the tub was exposed and really gross looking underneath

Dusty old smell hotel rooms

So we moved 3 times due to the cleanliness., its was so dusty and smelled like old wood in the 1st room. The balcony didn't have a screen but I needed to vent the room so kept open and got bit up by mosquitos.. 2nd room we moved same day we checked in I tried to clean myself as I needed to sleep balcony-same no screen and was broke on the balcony floor, so didnt want to get bit up again, left it closed so my sinuses kept me up,. We are there only 2 nights mind you.. So I told the front desk the next day and she gave us the option to move again. I was like ok let me try but this wild I told her.. 3rd room same better smell but still dusty as heck and the bathroom behind the toilet dont get me started.. whoever manages this location does not check on the work done at all.. hallways floor dusty also you can see it on the lamps they have in the hallways.. In the 23 years I've travel to japan this was the worst hotel I've stayed in.. do yourself a favor and book somewhere else...

部屋の匂いがカビ臭い

部屋に入ると、カビ臭いのと、タバコっぽい？匂いがあり、外寒かったけど窓開けて、すぐに空気清浄機つけた。 匂いに敏感な人は利用やめた方が良い。 部屋に電子レンジとポットがあるのはとても良い。洗濯機まであるのは驚いた、アパートのようです。 お風呂のシャワーカーテンは下の方がカビ生えてるので、風呂に入れるのに抵抗があった。 歩いて2分くらいのところにコンビニあり、駅から徒歩6分くらい？で便利。 大通り沿いなので、夜でも人が歩いて危険ではないと思う。けど23時以降は店も閉まって結構暗くなる。
