HOTEL R9 The Yard KANUMA NISHIMORO

Good value for a night or two, and I even got a massage chair.

I was looking for a place to stay since business hotels have been getting pricey on weekends, and this type of hotel was new to me. It was close to where I needed to go, so I decided to give it a try. The room was about the size of a single room at a business hotel. Although the bed was called a “double,” it felt closer to a semi-double. Since I was by myself, the room size, facilities, bed width, and price all seemed reasonable.

I stayed here for work in December 2025. The room facilities were about what you'd expect, with nothing to complain about. The grounds are on the small side, but the containers are laid out well, and access from the parking lot, one of the benefits of a container hotel, was decent. I'd use it again if I get the chance.

The stay itself was okay, and the soundproofing is better than Leopalace. Still, the construction details keep catching my eye since I'm in the same industry. Was the interior work poor, or did something happen during transport? If it arrived here already completed, was it damaged in the move? If the work was done after setup, was it just bad construction? There's nothing specifically wrong, but it bothers me. I guess that's part of staying in a container.
