Super Hotel Chiba Ichihara

The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, and my room was clean and tidy. I booked this hotel because it was closest to my golf trip, though I accidentally ended up with a smoking room. Free parking at the building only fits about 10 cars, but lots 2 and 3 are nearby, so parking wasn’t a problem. I usually look for a hotel with hot springs. Here, there’s one bath that men and women use at different times, which was a little disappointing. Still, the price was good, and I enjoyed the free breakfast. There didn’t seem to be a station close by, but there’s a convenience store and a ramen shop nearby. I’d stay again if I had the chance. Thank you.

The front desk staff were attentive and courteous, and amenities including lotion, milk, serum, and oil were available by the desk. The room was roomy, with a comfortable big bed, although it was disappointing that they’d run out of pillows when I checked in at 6 p.m. The changing area for the large public bath is a bit small, but it has lockable lockers that don’t need coins. There’s also a washing machine in the laundry room beside the front desk. A 7-Eleven is a 3-5 minute walk away, Saizeriya takes about 10 minutes on foot, and there are other restaurants around too.

I found the hot spring water just right, around 41°C, I think. There’s also a third parking lot within a 50-meter walk. Welcome drinks are available until 8 p.m., and I thought it was a very nice hotel. TV cards are sold, though terrestrial broadcasts are free.

After getting chilled by the illuminations at Tokyo German Village, the natural hot springs felt amazing. I was staying here while sightseeing, as part of a lucky-direction trip. There was plenty to like, from the ample parking and good room amenities to the convenience store nearby. The breakfast choices were limited, but everything I tried tasted good. The front desk staff were polite and helpful too. I’d definitely come back. Thank you.
