HOTEL LOCUS

The compact room was easier to use than the photo.The large window that went all the way to the ceiling was almost the same width as the room, and the window was lowered to a height that was close to the headboard of the bed, so I was able to enjoy a more sweeping view of the ocean than I expected.I made a reservation with a view of the harbor, thinking that it would be nice to be right next to the sea, but contrary to my impression of being busy with cranes and forklifts, the fishing boats were quiet and relaxing in the morning.You can only see the concrete quay from the soft bed, which is difficult to stand up from, and the only view you can see from a normal seat or from the walkway in front of the shower room is the sea and sky.I was able to lean against the wall instead of the sofa, and when I went to sleep, I didn't sink too much into the mattress, and it was fluffy so I could relieve my body's fatigue.There was almost no aisle space other than the bed, but the luggage for two people was lined up there.There was a long passageway from the entrance door to the bed, so even if you put backpacks, handbags, souvenirs, laundry bags, etc., it would be narrow if you put it against the wall so that even a small suitcase with a height of 50 cm can be opened easily. I was able to walk down the aisle without a problem. I thought it would be a narrower passage, so I was surprised and glad that I wasn't inconvenienced.I was able to use the concrete-like floor without worrying about sand or wet gear from diving.You can store a surprising amount of things such as medicine and glasses on the thin wall-mounted safe and the long thin board on the top of the large wooden TV frame, so it may be easier to handle personal items than in a hotel that only has a table.Rather than a large table full of things, small items are naturally arranged in a row in a long and narrow space, making it surprisingly easier to access.Is the flooring part a place to take off your shoes and relax? That's what I thought when I looked at the website, but it was impossible because the TV screen was close to my face when I sat on the bed. On the contrary, the entire wooden floor could be used as storage space for a large amount of luggage, and the TV could be watched comfortably on the bed, leaning against the wall.The double bed was large, so I decided to rest and spend time on top of it, so even though the room didn't have enough floor space to put my shoes on and walk around, I couldn't help but feel relaxed.Sometimes in some hotels you have to turn your head to watch a small TV, but it was nice to have a fairly large screen right in front of me even when I was sitting on the big bed, so I could relax and watch it.There was one outlet under the bedside lamp switch and one USB outlet, two outlets and one USB outlet on the desk at my feet, and two outlets for the hair dryer at the entrance of the room, so there were enough outlets for mobile devices.The trash can under the desk is a fairly wide and large square, so you can throw away bulky empty bags without overflowing on Miyakojima, where supermarkets are rich in locally sourced prepared foods, and you can also clean the containers of drinks you often buy in hot weather.Breakfast doesn't have many items, but the soft scrambled eggs and baby leaf salad are quickly replenished as there is no wall on the other side of the cooking table and there are a lot of people in the kitchen.Personally, I was happy to see a place where the amount of green onions in bonito flakes and miso soup decreased and then returned quickly. At buffets, I often end up giving up on small accompaniments even if I want something...I felt that the milk had a strong taste and was different. The salmon and pineapple, which tend to be dry at buffets, were so delicious that I had to have them for a second time.The butter curry, which had a lot of beef in it when you scooped it up, and the chanpuru, which contained crunchy bitter gourds without being almost bitter, had a light taste but were solid and made the meal go well.Granola cereal was also available in the drinks corner, and instead of the typical shredded cabbage topped with frozen edamame and corn, the fresh sliced ​​bitter gourd and paprika were topped with plenty of toppings without the bitterness of bitter gourd that was eaten raw for the first time. It was fresh.There are two elevators, and the coin laundry is anti-theft where you can open the washing machine with a password, and the front desk staff, who change almost every day, are very kind, including the cleaning staff and the restaurant staff.However, this may be due to the fact that it is an electric type rather than a gas type, but no matter how many times I drove it in ``dry only'' mode, my neck and waist area were still damp, so I gave up because it was already getting late. I took it back to my room and hung it up. If you have two drum-type dryers with empty space above, I think it would be helpful to install a fast and powerful dryer there, reducing waiting time and allowing you to go to bed earlier, and increasing the number of people who can use the laundry.The only thing that could be improved is that the second parking lot is located far away, so a map sign to the second parking lot could be placed in a place where you can easily see the parking lot even in the crowded first parking lot. It's easy to get to as there aren't many alleys, but I was nervous at first and once I got used to it, I ended up taking the wrong turn, so I wish they would write more store names on map signs to make it easier to remember.In addition, there is a second parking lot at the top of an alley after turning from the main street, but at the back of the same lot there is an excavator, surrounded by tall grass, and the gravel road shoulder is crumbling. I couldn't help but look around for the hotel's second parking lot, so it was easy to get out of the parking lot, and the area where I parked was mowed, so it was easy to use. I would like the inconspicuous picture frame-sized sign in front of the building to be replaced with a larger one that is clearly visible from a distance once you turn down the main street at the bottom of the hill and approach the hill.(If I remember correctly, the signboard was illuminated with electricity, so it was easier to find it at night.)If possible, I would have carried a folding umbrella with me, but in Miyakojima, where strong rain is prone to blowing in the wind, it is small and wet by the time I got to the hotel, so I had to dry it and fold it in the room. Considering how small it is, parking lot 1 is small and full, so parking lot 2 is often used, so I would like to see a large, durable umbrella placed at the front desk for drivers to borrow when leaving. If possible, it would be safe if the backpack on your back is large enough to protect you from the rain.Although there is not enough space to dry an umbrella spread out around the water area, the sink is located in the passageway in the guest room rather than in the unit bath where you can get the area wet when using it like in other hotels, so it is shallow and small and water can splash. It wasn't easy to use, but it was a large, square washbasin that was quite deep and I could wash my face and things without hesitation.The refrigerator directly below it was the size you would find in hotels, but it was an unusual pull-out type. It was unexpectedly easy to use, allowing you to see the whole thing without having to bend down and forget anything, and it was sized to fit a 1-liter paper pack. At other hotels, I sometimes have trouble finding the strength knob and setting it to the maximum, but it still doesn't cool down, but the ice maker has a lot of power, so even if you fill the paper cup with it, 70% of it will still be iced the next morning. I felt safe.As I confirmed on the phone in advance, it doesn't have a freezing function, so I was thinking before I left that I might want a freezer for the next equipment upgrade, but when I came to Okinawa, I ended up buying things like Blue Seal and Beniimo ice cream. Because I want to. However, when I called, I was told that there was a storage service at the front desk, and since there was a 24-hour manned person who could pick it up, I was wondering if I should keep it as it is, since the drawer refrigerator was convenient.The bench space with a table on the front floor and the breakfast restaurant had an unobstructed view of the ocean, and the downstairs lounge space also had a long corner sofa that looked out over the pool to the ocean.Even if there is a sea, there are many hotels with lounges where the chairs are against the wall and cannot be seen, so this lounge is on a separate floor from the front desk where people come and go, so even if there are a few customers, it is spacious and quiet where you can relax. And it was the interior.Before checking in, I thought it was just a trial experience because it was near the port rather than a sandy beach, and I had the impression that I would have to make do with the small space, but Painagama Beach was only a few minutes away and it was a relaxing hotel with a beautiful sea view.The only thing I would like to see is that the area around the key was extremely rusty and difficult to turn.Although the location is exposed to the sea breeze, this is the most important part, so I would like to see it improved.Even if you call a locksmith, it's not a malfunction, it's rust, and the screws don't turn easily, so if the reserved flight takes off during the work, you'll be unable to recover due to the traffic conditions on a remote island, and you'll be worried about the safety of the cabin. , I would appreciate it if you could help me with that.Although there is an uphill slope, it is relatively close to the city center, and the beach where you can swim is nearby, so you can easily stay by the sea, so I would like to use this hotel again.

I fell in love with the large vertical windows at first sight and made a reservation.This is a maisonette type room with a bed in the loft. It was a stylish room with a high ceiling and a compact size, more than enough for one person. There was no bathtub, just a shower, but the bathroom smelled a bit like a changing room at a pool, which was the only thing that bothered me.Breakfast is buffet style. Doug's Burger's sister restaurant, Doug's Diner, is located inside the hotel, and you can enjoy your meal while looking out at the harbor in the morning. Local cuisine, rice, curry, salad bar, pickled red meat (maybe tuna?), pancakes, toast, fruit, granola, etc... There was a wide variety of drinks, so you wouldn't get bored at all!I will definitely use it again when I travel alone ✨Favorite hotel!

The atmosphere of the building and the staff are friendly, kind and very nice.The parking lot is generally far away (5 minutes walk), so I'm worried if I don't have an umbrella. However, the road from the parking lot to the hotel is along the coast, so it's a nice walk if it's not raining.Also, there are only two washing machines and there is no coin laundry within walking distance, so be prepared for that.Furthermore, the 13m2 room was really small, and every time I moved, my body would hit the TV frame, trash can, or walls, so I couldn't really relax in the room.However, it was the curry and coffee for breakfast that washed away my dissatisfaction. It was delicious on a different level. Dissatisfaction with the parking lot, washing machine, and room can be completely overcome if you think of it as a challenge to eat curry. It was that delicious. I want people who think curry is heavy in the morning to try it.Also, the rooftop terrace was a wonderful space at night.Considering the price, it's probably 3.78. Sorry for being harsh.

I stayed in room 501, superior corner twin. Although the port is right in front of us, our corner room had a full view of the ocean and Irabu Ohashi Bridge. There are chairs and a table on the balcony, so it was great to have a drink while watching the sunset.It's close to the downtown area, and there are many restaurants within walking distance, especially Hormone-ya, located at Hasumakiko, which was very delicious.It has a very sophisticated and fashionable design, but the floor is made of raw concrete, so it might be a good idea for those who are used to wearing shoes indoors.The biggest problem was the lack of laundry. There are only 2 units and the capacity is up to 3kg. When I put all the swimsuits and clothes for the whole family in there, it was so full that it was hard to dry. I wonder how many times I went there because I could only extend the time every 10 minutes. It was so competitive that there were people waiting in line for laundry. I wonder if it's possible to create a laundry room on another floor somehow. I sincerely request the management.And just because it's tasteful, the bath, wash basin, shower booth, and toilet are all transparent except for the glass partitions. It's extremely fashionable, but even my family couldn't feel comfortable wearing it.The gasket in the shower booth had deteriorated and water leaked out, flooding the toilet and sink area. Administrators, please fix this as soon as possible.
