This is R9's second location, but I wonder if Iwakuni wasn't blessed with a good location.It's a pity that there are no restaurants nearby.

The special feeling of the container is the best.It's quiet, you get frozen food, and there's a bathroom and toilet.I wasn't sure how to check in, and I was worried that I might be loaded onto a ship or something while I was sleeping, but now that those concerns have been resolved, I would definitely stay there again. I'd like to stay for a while.

This was my first time using a container hotel.I was looking at reviews of other facilities, so I thought the snacks would be a frozen spa? When I thought about it, the freezer was full of variety, including curry, chicken burdock bento, rice noodles, and porridge (plum, kelp).The room was a decent size, and the bathtub was larger than chain hotels with smaller unit baths.If I had to be greedy, I thought it would have been nice to have a folding table to put my luggage on or a folding mini table for eating. There is a risk of theft, so it would be helpful if you could lend it to the front desk and return it.It's convenient to be able to park your car in front of the room, and the frame is wider than Hoko, but if there are 3 numbered cars in a row, it will be narrow, so it would be helpful if there was a parking width similar to Costco.It's near Iwakuni Air Base, so I fly early in the morning.It was good because there were no early morning or night flights like where I live. So I didn't need earplugs.Since I wasn't restricted by meal times, I was able to go to Kintaikyo Bridge to take pictures after I woke up, so I was glad that I was able to accomplish my goal. I would like to take care of you again next time.

Two people stayed here on July 11th.I made a reservation from another site in June, but it was supposed to be in Iwakuni, but instead I was booked at a restaurant called Yanai, and by chance there was an empty room here, so I was able to stay there.The female receptionist was really kind and wonderful!I didn't know what to do because of the sudden incident, so I contacted the Yanai store about the cancellation.I had made a reservation through a foreign travel site, so I contacted the staff at the Yanai store many times regarding the cancellation fee and tried to do the best I could. He waited patiently until I was able to make a reservation in Iwakuni, thinking that it would be a little cheaper to make a reservation online. (Sorry for messing around)Thank you for your sincere response despite your busy schedule! I was impressed by how kind and polite he was until the end! thank you very much!Thank you to everyone at Yanai store!I thought it was a very nice hotel, as the rooms were clean and I was given free frozen lunches and drinks. I will definitely use it again when I travel to Yamaguchi.

container hotel. It was very clean and the whiteness of the interior left a great impression on me!The frozen food that you can get one item per person was so delicious that I would love to stay there again!There were earplugs in the amenities, so I wonder if the noise bothers me? I was wary of this, but there was no noise from the surrounding area, and although it was cheap, it was of the same quality as other hotels.
