The property is a little dated but overall the customer service was great! The facilites were clean and the room was spacious and comfortable. It’s in a very convenient location and the Limobus to the airport picks up right in front of the hotel.
The hotel is older but is in a very safe and quiet area. There is direct bus transport between it and Haneda Airport at specified times for a reasonable rate. Shopping at the outlets is a two-minute walk away. The staff is extremely helpful.
While in Chiba, I will always return to Hotel Francs. My favorite is the Corner Twin room because it is spacious and comfortable. The service and staff are exceptional. The Airport Limo bus drops off and picks up in front of the hotel.

An easy access from Kaihinmakuhari Station, about 5 minutes walking. Location is perfect. We got the breakfast package and we enjoyed it with a beautiful view of the bay. The room was decent with the necessary amenities. No coin laundry on site, so you would have to go somewhere if you are staying long. I’d come back again!

quiet and clean hotel. The staff was very polite and helpful with questions. The breakfast buffet food was somewhat limited. there wasn't much dining option at the hotel. the hotel is located pretty close to train station and shopping outlets where more dining options were available.

Rooms are extremely dated, old. The hotel is however quiet and in a very good location for Makuhari Messe, a lot cheaper than other places around that area.
It's our second time to booked in this hotel . Clean and quite room . Staffs are friendly . Great Customer service. Highly recommended. Will definitely comeback.
This hotel is super aged. Its in a convenient location for shopping districts and the stadium however the hotel itself is kinda sad.
Bathrooms look and function like they are from the 80's and there are weird wires in the room to make the ancient bedside table tech operate (kind of). Lamps didn't work in our room.
Decent space to repack our bags though!
In terms of service, check in was slightly annoying - zero flexibility on checking in half an hour early even though the place was a ghost town. Also they charged us a 20 yen to print 2 tickets? Obviously wasn't about the meaningless amount of money but it just felt so awkward to be charged for that at all?
Overall wouldnt stay there again as there are heaps of other places in the area that looked better.
Our stay was great. The hotel staff was excellent and very helpful. They are efficient and very professional. We really appreciate their effort in making our stay confortable. Walking distance from a train station and with plenty of dinner options.
Staff is efficient and friendly. Comfortable room much larger than typical Japan size hotel rooms. Close to train/bus station. No food or restaurant in the hotel.
