Pros and Cons of a Long-Established Hotel

I’m a Yokohama resident, but I had never stayed at this Hotel before, so I came with my husband. The night view is beautiful, so I recommend it to visitors from outside the area. It’s about a 30-minute drive from home. The parking is not Hotel-only; it’s a public parking lot. You receive the parking service at check-out. Since we booked a Plan with Club Lounge access, we went straight to the lounge after arrival. We were shown to a window seat in a bright, open lounge, and afternoon tea was served: mini cakes, club sandwiches, shumai dumplings, and scones. The shumai were excellent. After that, we went to the pool. It was almost private as well. There was also a small bath (not a large public bath), so I took a soak. The bath is quite deep. There are two steps when you enter, but once you’re in the water there are no steps at all, which feels scary—so it’s best to sit on the edge and ease in feet first. A lady in her 70s was struggling, so I helped her by taking her arm. It may be a bit risky for elderly guests. I didn’t realize the pool seems to be charged per entry and ended up going again at night. At The Kahala Hotel last month, their spa facility was one flat fee no matter how many times you used it—I should have confirmed beforehand. The pool fee is JPY 4,400. At 5:00 pm we went back to the Club Lounge. Two plates of hors d’oeuvres were served. In addition to that, cheese, nuts, and fruit are unlimited. There are no hot items. I don’t eat much anyway—two glasses of white wine filled me up—but my husband wanted more and ordered seafood fried noodles from Karyu (JPY 2,500), which were very good. Breakfast is excellent in both quality and quantity. The Room is smaller than Kahala’s 50 m² rooms as expected, but it has the calmness and solid feel of a classic adults-only style Hotel. If you want hot food included in your evening offerings, you may not need Club Lounge access. It works if you can eat hors d’oeuvres in the lounge and still have a full meal at a restaurant afterward—but at our age that’s too much. Still, JPY 43 ,000 for two people with Club Lounge access felt reasonably priced.
