It's close to the downtown area, and there are convenience stores on both sides of the hotel. The elevator will not operate without a card key, so security is also very strong. It was a nice hotel (^-^)/

This time I traveled to Minami Kyushu and stayed at Kumamoto Fresa for three nights in a standard twin room.The space is very large, and the luggage for two people does not take up any space at all. The luggage is luggage and the aisle is the aisle. It's great.You can also take the spare parts by yourself and put them in a very conspicuous place on the first floor, so you won't forget to take them.The room is also well-equipped, the bed is good to sleep on, and the pillows are both hard and soft. You can use them together ~ great!All performed well except for water quality.I have stayed at Fresa Inn in Osaka before. The water there is really delicious when poured out. This is one of the reasons why I chose Fresa Inn. At that time, the water poured out in Osaka would have small bubbles clinging to the wall of the cup. ; But Kumamoto’s does not have it. Although it is said to be the same set of hydrogen water, the water does not taste that good, and there are no small bubbles attached to the wall of the cup. This does not matter. The main thing is to pour the water out and drink it the next day. There will be a smell of disinfectant...This really makes people feel that the hydrogen water in Osaka is better than that in Kumamoto, but the water in Kumamoto Fresa is not that good.

When I entered the room, I already smelled a musty smell. Since I had opened the room to clean the room, I thought it would be better later. Who knew that after turning on the air conditioner and air freshener all night, there was still a smell;There is a drop of coffee/soy sauce (?) stain on the countertop, and there is also a bit of dust on the window edge;7/F The site is right outside the window of the room. It is very close and there is no sunlight at all. The workers move around frequently and the curtains have to be closed for a long time for privacy. It feels like living in a secret room;The hotel stipulates that the room must be cleaned on the third night. I forgot to put away my personal pajamas and eye mask on the pillow. The housekeeper piled the pajamas and eye mask on the headboard! When staying at other hotels in the past, one would not change the sheets, just sweep them neatly, or fold the pajamas and put them on the bed. I have never seen such rudeness.This hotel is probably only conveniently located in Shimotori, but the rest is lackluster. However, there are other options in Kumamoto at this price.
