Business Inn Asago

The location is a bit inconvenient, to be fair. Still, it’s useful that they offer smoking rooms, which are hard to find these days, and there’s a good amount of parking.

For an older building, the guest rooms seem clean. There aren’t outlets beside the beds, though, so having extension cords in the rooms would be handy.

The facilities feel dated, which people used to chain hotels may notice. It’s clean, the front desk staff are okay, and there’s nothing wrong with staying here. The shower pressure is weak, but I did appreciate the roomy bathtub.

I don’t expect a business hotel to offer much, but this place was far too dirty. I stayed several nights. The visible areas were clean, yet dust had built up in spots that seemed untouched for years. There were also several pubic hairs left in the bath, probably ones I’d unknowingly left the day before. With the windows shut, the room felt stifling. When I opened one with the screen in place, bugs still got through and gathered on the white bed. The bath towels and towels were so worn and thin you could almost see through them, and some smelled fishy, as if they’d been left damp. There aren’t other places to stay nearby, but if I came back to the area, I’d look somewhere else.
