3/5
It was conveniently located within a 5-minute walk from JR Nishiakashi Station (east exit side), which was surprisingly close.Nishi-Akashi Station itself is also a stop for new rapid trains, and there are convenience stores and 100 yen shops nearby, so the location of the accommodation is nothing short of convenient.I have no complaints about the service or price, but this may be because I am not familiar with the current hotel situation.Also, as others have pointed out, I felt that the cleaning inside the room was a bit sloppy.Also, there were not many elevators, washing machines, or dryers, so it was unavoidable that there would be a lot of waiting time.By the way, the breakfast was delicious.If I was staying for consecutive holidays, I might have wanted to try all the daily menu items (lol)

It was 12,000 yen for a room without meals. It is not a request to stay without meals, but please ask the man at the front desk for breakfast when you check in. Please include the amount for breakfast and parking on your receipt. The man at the front desk was also taking careful notes.However, the next morning when I went to have breakfast, I had not heard of any breakfast reservations. That's what he said.The man at the front desk also speaks strangely. Is this really a hotel? I feel uncomfortable.I often use Toyoko Inn and other hotels, but this time I stayed at Smile, which has a reputation for being cheap, but it wasn't cheap and the customer service was unusual.I regret that the reason for my failure was that I thought it was too easy.I will no longer use Smile.
