▌Lobby Section Seeing their lobby put my mind at ease. It's clearly a high-end hotel lobby. ➤ Lobby Toilet Their lobby toilet left a strong impression. One feature is a standing toilet, and there's a showerhead next to it. It's not a typical men's urinal; I think it might be for people with disabilities. ➤ Elevator Section The elevators here are much larger, about the size of a regular elevator. You need to use your room card to press the buttons before you can use the elevator. ➤ Breakfast Breakfast is included. It's a buffet. On the right is scrambled eggs with butter, chicken nuggets, and tamagoyaki. What impressed me most was the burrito. It cost 5 yuan in total. There are different dipping sauces, including chicken and vegetable ones, with varying levels of spiciness. Then there's the toast. They only serve two types of dipping sauce: cream and jam. I saw strawberry. The key point is that their bread is incredibly soft and delicious. I originally thought it would be hard and crunchy. But it wasn't at all, and I ate it for three days straight! It also comes with a salad with five kinds of dressing: Japanese dressing, Thousand Island dressing, sesame dressing, and cream dressing. For drinks, there's fresh milk, juice, and coffee. These are basic options, so I only drank fresh milk. Then there are some more Japanese-style dishes: like soft-boiled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, grilled mackerel, white rice, miso soup, and some rice noodles. ▌Room Section ➤ Room Service Their rooms are quite cool. Besides making calls from inside the room, if you want them to clean or change towels, you just need to attach the magnet from inside the door to the outside. Unlike typical hotels that use lights, they don't use lights. ➤ WiFi When checking in, you'll be given a piece of paper with the WiFi name and password written on it. ➤ Main Light Switch There's a main switch by the bedside that can turn off all the lights (except the bathroom lights). ➤ Dehumidifier I stayed at two different hotels, and both rooms had dehumidifiers. I remember Japanese weather is very dry, so it was probably for drying clothes and towels. ➤ Wardrobe They didn't have a wardrobe, but there was a place to hang clothes on the left side of the door, and underneath you could put luggage and shoes. That was really convenient. ➤ Desk The desk here was quite large, with plenty of space. There were two power outlets, a USB port, and a Type-C port on the desktop. Overall, it was quite advanced. ➤ Bed This bed was actually better than I expected. I don't know if it was because I was too tired. However, the pillows were the typical hotel pillows, offering no support. ➤ Window The windows were a row in front of the desk, but we didn't open the curtains. ➤ Air Conditioning It seems like they only have heating, not air conditioning. ➤ TV The TV is quite large. You can watch YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, etc. ➤ Refrigerator The refrigerator is a standard small refrigerator, but it has a freezer function. However, I don't quite understand where to put the freezer compartment; the ice cream I put in melted. ➤ Walls They have two hooks on the wall, which is really convenient. You can hang bags, clothes, towels, coats, etc. ▌Shower & Toilet ➤ Toilet It's a bidet toilet. The key point is that the control panel is on the wall. This design is very thoughtful. Usually, it's designed on the right back, so you have to turn around to select it. But with it on the left wall, you can select it directly. ➤ Sink It's a normal sink. ➤ Mirror Their mirror has an automatic defogging function. Simply put, it heats a specific area of the mirror to prevent the steam from fogging up the entire mirror. ➤ Shower They use TOTO bathroom fixtures. Their thermostatic faucets are really convenient. You can customize the water temperature, and the temperature doesn't fluctuate. ➤ Hair dryer There's a hair dryer on the right side of the sink. They're in dust bags, but the airflow looks weak, so I don't use them.

It's close to the station and the inside of the hotel is beautiful! This is my second time staying here, and I'd love to stay here again the next time I travel to Tokyo!
