I ended up here looking for a hotel to stay overnight on the same day.I thought it wouldn't be dirty since it was being renovated, but there were countless spider webs at the entrance, the carpet tiles on the ceiling and floor of the guest room hallway were full of stains, and there didn't seem to be any air conditioning.The floor and walls of the room have been replaced, but the ceiling remains the same.Room wear was rented for 300 yen, towels etc. were free, and I realized that the usual things you would expect at a business hotel are not the norm.

I'm planning to stay for 18 days for work...The period will be from July to August, before Obon.The average price was just under 7000 yen, which seems reasonable.Bad placeSince it was summer, I met G from the first day inside the building.towels are hardI had a pile of laundry, so I went to wash it, but once I went outside, there was a prefab and it was placed inside.3 machines, 200 yen per 30 minutesI think the dryer was 100 yen for 10 minutes. I forgot, I put about 4 to 5 days worth of laundry in the dryer for 40 minutes and it was almost dry.I wonder if it's gas (this is a good place) → It was 100 yen for 20 minutes.Room wear is chargedgood pointsThere is welcome coffee and canned drinks (about 6 types, from 3pm to 11pm? Apparently you can have as many as you like, everyone please behave in moderation lol).The bed feels pretty good,There are plenty of outlets, but they vary depending on the room.If I'm staying overnight for work, I'd choose the next one 🎵

When you check in, you can choose room cleaning, etc., so even though I chose full, there was no bed making! I left the room in the same condition I left it in the morning! Even the daily supply of mineral water was forgotten, and the air conditioner's filter was clogged, making it impossible to take photos! There was a filter cleaning sign on the air conditioner remote control, but it was never reset during my stay. It smells a little. The room key is a card type, so if you check in, you won't have to meet the front desk staff and leave it alone! Looks like you just have to return the card key when you check out.I stayed here for work, but next time I will choose a different hotel.

I use it a lot, but I don't clean it every time. There was a lot of dust and pubic hair falling off, so if the quality of the cleaning staff improved, I would be able to stay more comfortably.Although there is nothing you can do about the corners of the room, I would like you to at least keep the tops of tables free of dust.Thank you very much for your guidance.

Within walking distance from the station, a little hard to findIt is inconvenient that the elevator always stops on the second floor where the front desk is located.The front desk feels like a stylish cafe, and there are free drinks and snacks, and the service is free for guests.The rooms are spacious and stylishly designed.The style is to bring your own amenities.The equipment, such as the hair dryer, was also up-to-date.

I heard about it from a friend who had stayed there before. The young man at the front desk had a beard and was dirty. Beards in the hospitality industry...lol, I couldn't help but laugh.The location was good, close to the station, but the rooms were very old and dirty.It didn't look dirty, but rather looked like it had deteriorated, and other hotels were fully booked. He said he had no choice but to
