The room was tiny, but that's to be expected at an APA hotel. The bathroom felt a bit dated, but everything worked fine. There wasn't much of a view, but I mostly kept the curtains pulled anyway. I was able to plug my Switch into the TV, so that's nice. Plenty of places to eat nearby. There were two elevators, and I almost never even had to share one. I didn't find an electrical outlet in the bathroom, so I had to use an extension cord to use my electric shaver. The coin laundry was a hugely-overpriced waste of time; it cost 100yen per 10 minutes to use the dryer, and after an hour the clothes had barely reached the point of "at least they're not damp anymore." (So that's 500yen for the washer plus 600yen for the dryer.) Compare that with the laundromat I've been using lately in the US where the dryer is free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, takes 11 MINUTES and gets things VERY dry. APA hotels: There are FAR better coin dryers out there, if you'll look for them. (Google "Wavemax.")
