Travel to Wakayama Marina City

Great breakfast buffet and laundry facilities in the hotel.

Water pressure was horribly aggressive. Somehow too much??? Never thought I’d say that. And the hot water in the sink was dangerously hot, even when not turned up all the way. The bed sheets were quite rough, but they did have the cool Japanese pillows! Black out curtains were more effective than most. Unfortunately, one morning when I was trying to forward my luggage, the front desk staff did not seem fully familiar with the process and I ended up missing my train due to her completing wrong ppw first (to airport instead of hotel) and I had to pay 5000 yen for a taxi to catch my Shinkansen

Breakfast was great. Small walk to shopping and the train station

Had to upgrade room as the default allocation was too small for 2 travellers wuth bags.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was large, especially by Japan typical standards. Amenities were plentiful. I didn’t even have to break out any of my own toiletries. Breakfast had a good selection that I didn’t feel like I was eating the same thing each day. Convenient to metro and all the sights. Would stay again.
