HOTEL R9 The Yard Kamisu

Very comfortable.

The room was quiet and really comfortable, and I couldn't hear other guests talking or moving around. During my stay, though, trucks seemed to be unloading at the back of the Deluxe Room around midnight, making a huge racket until about 4 a.m. The timing may have been unlucky, or it may happen every night, but it was loud enough to wake my crying child. There's also a hospital beside the room, so the sound of an ambulance can be startling if you don't know it's there. The place was generally clean and pleasant for a longer stay. Still, the sponge in the Deluxe Room kitchen should be replaced whenever guests change. I couldn't bring myself to use it otherwise. Finding a hair inside a towel when I took it from its plastic bag was unpleasant, and I also found hairs in the trash can and in the room corners.

I forgot to pick up my receipt, but they took care of it quickly when I asked. Thanks! The room was a good size, and I thought the snacks were great, better in quality and taste than a basic buffet. The chairs weren't very good, but after several nights I still rated the stay highly, about 4.5.

The frozen food they gave me at check-in wasn't very tasty. Apart from that, I was genuinely satisfied. For the price, it felt worth it, and the place was so clean and comfortable that the label "container hotel" stopped putting me off.
