Okayama Universal Hotel Annex 2

I read the reviews before booking this place and thought I was walking into a medieval dungeon. People on here complaining like they regularly sleep on silk sheets woven by angels. Like... are y'all princesses or something? Let’s talk numbers. I paid 7,140 yen. For that, I got a room and two actual, edible, decent meals. Do you know what 7,140 yen gets you in North America right now? A soggy sandwich, a lukewarm coffee, and maybe a cardboard box under a bridge. That’s easily a $30+ value just for the food alone, and you’re getting a whole roof over your head! Are y'all kidding me? Here is what you actually get instead of whatever horror movie the other reviews described: The Room: It’s pretty clean! And look, I can tell they change out the wallpaper every now and then. It’s not the Ritz, but it’s fresh and it does the job. The Public Bath: Pretty damn large, actually. A great place to soak away the stress of reading entitled internet reviews. The Food: Is it Michelin-starred? No. Is it decently good and shockingly filling for the price? Absolutely. And for some context: I work as air crew. I literally stay at fancy hotels all over the world on a regular basis for my job. Marriott, Hilton, you name it—I know what luxury looks like, and I know what a massive bill looks like. So take it from someone who lives out of hotels: if you want a personal butler to peel grapes for you, go spend 50,000 yen somewhere else. But if you want incredible value, a clean bed, a massive bath, and a full belly for the price of a cheap dinner back home, this place is legendary. 10/10 would ignore the haters again.

The bathroom in the room had a funny (sewage-like) smell but hey, what’s the public bath for if you don’t use it?
