HOTEL R9 The Yard Izumi

The rooms were great. Clean and slightly more spacious than typical Japanese rooms. I had space to lay out my little suitcase to reorganize. The fridge has a legit real freezer and the microwave in room was good to have. The front desk staff was kind and I didn't realize daily meals were included. They gave me tickets/coupons to get a meal a day from the freezer chest at the front desk. I did not partake but things looked great and made locally. The free drink bar in the lobby was a nice touch too. The laundry facilities are great. Didn't need to bring detergent and it was all in one machine which was convenient. There is no change machine so make sure you have yen. There were instructions in English on how to use the machines as well. There are only two but it is convenient to have a laundry facility on site. There was also a drink vending machine in the same building as the washing machines. Very lose to a drugstore Mori and a Lawson's around the corner. Also the temple across the way looked interesting and huge with a ton of cranes (birds). I wished I had a chance to explore but I was using this area as a jump of point for a race in Minamata.

There was an odd water smell in the bathroom. I assume it has to do with how these units are set up (they're conexes) that maybe the plumbing is not typical and water might be stagnant in certain areas. It wasn't anything crazy just a slight smell that disappeared once the bathroom was used (like taking a shower, washing hands, flushing the toilet, etc).

薬局も隣にあってとても助かりました。 静かで快適でした。

I am always satisfied with my stay at all R9 hotels. If there is an R9 available, I will always pick it over other low budget options. I have stayed in a few different R9 locations and the rooms are ALWAYS cleaned to a very high standard. Parking is always free. The rooms are always comforatble and private, and well equipped with a microwave, kettle, desk. The bathrooms are always cleaned to an immaculate standard. I actually booked this last minute because I was extremely disatissfied with the original accomodation I had booked when I arrived and was super relieved and greatful to find that there was an R9 near by with an available room. This R9 is also very close to a number of shops.

Literally no comment here. It was excellent.

コンテナハウスで、ベットの清潔さなど心配してましたが、全て清潔で、部屋も快適、アメニティもあり、びっくりしたのが、軽食もついていて、コーヒーも飲み放題、また機会あれはわ使用したいと思いました。

快適に過ごせました。
