The overall feel is old, and the rooms are a bit small, but I think it's normal for a short stay on a business trip.The price is cheaper than other famous hotel chains.The front door closes at 11 p.m., but since I have to work in the middle of the night, I let the front desk know and they will leave the automatic door unlocked for me.just,,,Paid breakfast is terrible.Rather than a buffet, they serve cold, simple side dishes on a plate.The rice was hard and the miso soup was so thin that I thought it was hospital food.It reminded me of a training camp when I was a student.It's an okay hotel except for the food.

Since it was the Obon period, other hotels were extremely expensive and this one was relatively reasonable, so I stayed there for several nights.There is a driving school in front of us.The hotel is like a training camp for a driving school, and the main guests are young students.No elevator, only stairs.The room has two beds in a small space, so although there is a table and chairs, it is small and difficult to sit on.The toilet and bathroom are separate, but there are steps after all.It doesn't bother young people, but it might be difficult for older people.Well, it's basically not a normal business hotel, so maybe it can't be helped.

I stayed at this hotel after staying at a luxury hotel, so I had high expectations somewhere in my heart.However, the atmosphere was better than other business hotels.The reason I gave it 3 stars is because the food was not of a high standard.

I had to stay at this place because it was nearby because I had To LOVE for work, but the atmosphere wasn't great because it was in an industrial park. And right in front of you is the driving school, and although it is a relief that there is a 7-Eleven within walking distance, you cannot enter or exit from 11pm to 6am! This is my first time doing something like this, but I wonder if it's normal in rural areas... By the way, I don't think you can call a delivery health service.I guess that's why the front desk manager checks the customer's face every time.The inside of the room is dirty. There are stains on the carpet, customer's hair is on the desk, there is dust everywhere, there are spiders outside the window, and there were ants in the room, so I smashed them.

A business hotel commensurate with the price. The rooms are well cleaned. There is a refrigerator and the air conditioner works well (cooling). …

A business hotel?This is a training camp!The carpet in the room cannot be described as clean.I usually don't wear slippers, butI made sure to wear slippers here...Also, it doesn't make sense that there is a curfew.There's no way there's a curfew at a hotel!They say it's for security reasons, but I don't understand.
