Historic Haniwa Factory Park

I booked this hotel some months ago and I started reading reviews prior to check in. I'll admit I got a bit nervous. That being said we decided to stay the night and try it out. First impressions were that there was more space than many rooms we've stayed in while in Japan. Many features look newish and it has a full kitchen. Then things get weird. The wall paper is peeling off. There's a persistent bad smell. There's roach traps everywhere. I tried to shower and the shower nozzle fell off. My husband tried to leave to do a Lawson run and the latch on the lock fell off. The beds were surprisingly comfortable but it's also loud in the morning with people talking in the alleyway. It was fine for the night but I wouldn't stay here again.

Great hotel! We were a family of 5 staying here and the size of the rooms was great. The hotel was clean and modern, recently built. The decor was tasteful. The lobby smelled amazing! The best part was the location. Everything was within walking distance. The neighborhood was lively and family friend. Highly recommend this hotel.
