Mr.KINJO STRAY CATS

The room was comfortable and clean, and the bed had been made carefully. The view wasn't much, though I could spot a ship far away. Smoking was allowed on the balcony. It had a TV, desk and chair, along with a mug, washing machine, microwave, and kettle. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, bath and hand towels were supplied, as were a toothbrush, comb, and cotton swabs. There was also a sponge and detergent for washing cups and other items. The bathroom and toilet were quite clean, and the water pressure was good. The front desk attendant was a foreigner who spoke fluent Japanese. Sorry, I took the photos before leaving.

I chose this place because it was inexpensive and near the airport. I didn't need room cleaning, but it'd be helpful if bathroom cleaning were offered. After about a week, hair starts clogging the drain. The washer and dryer in the first-floor lobby could be used anytime, which was handy. But the filter clogged often, the dryer would stop working, and there was no refund. Hmm. There's no safe, pajamas, slippers, welcome drink, or snack, so I'd pick those things up at a store before checking in. The trash bags are small, so bringing a few larger clear bags is a good idea. I felt a little uneasy that I couldn't separate my rubbish.

I booked on Skyticket, and even the same-day rate was discounted, about 6,000 yen for a room without meals. The rooms are all non-smoking, but they told me I could smoke on the balcony and gave me an ashtray, which was a big help as a smoker. The room was clean and roomy, with three beds, haha. Shops, the downtown area, the ferry, and buses are fairly close, though none are right outside. Figure around a 5-10 minute walk.

The rooms were spotless and really spacious. Amenities were minimal, and there were no pajamas. The one thing that bothered me was the elevator, which felt damp and smelled moldy.
