Vellabista Okinawa Country Heights B

The low price and easy parking made this a good option, though I’m not sure it would suit a longer stay. The parking is right in front of the room, so I didn’t get wet in the Okinawa rain. It did feel like the place had once been a love hotel. The room was clean, with a microwave and kettle for eating takeout, but the bathroom and kitchen seemed old. I stayed about a week, and the linens and amenities weren’t changed, which meant I had some trouble with the towels. It was fine for one person but inconvenient with several. There’s also a drainage ditch right outside; its cover clanks whenever a car drives over it, which could bother some people.

The price is very reasonable, so it’s good value. The building is old, though the renovated rooms are clean. It’s one of several former motels in the local love hotel district that have been turned into regular hotels. The bathroom is still worn out: the bathtub lid chain is loose, and the toilet has no bidet. There’s a microwave and kettle for meals in the room, but the small, basic fridge has no separate freezer, so there’s nowhere to keep ice cream.

Used on 260614. This is a former love hotel converted into a regular hotel, and the building seems quite old. Each room has a parking space right outside, which makes access to the car very convenient. The rate is cheap and good value. Inside there’s a large bed, sofa, low table, TV, refrigerator, microwave, and electric kettle. There’s no loungewear or drinks, and no mugs either. Wi-Fi is strong, with speeds over 300Mbps. The hotel is unmanned, with no staff on site, but staff are always at the front desk of a nearby hotel that operates it jointly.
