Hotel Area One Okayama

As others have mentioned, the building itself is old, but it seems the interior has been renovated. The bathroom facilities feel a bit dated, but the shower head and air conditioner were new, so I stayed very comfortably. All the staff were friendly and polite with great smiles.\n\nYou can order the 700-yen breakfast even on the day, and you can choose from toast, pancakes, curry, or a Japanese set meal—really great.\n\nOne downside: because the in-room amenities are black, dust was noticeable. The Room may have been vacant for a day or two. One set of loungewear also looked slightly discolored, so I think that should be replaced.\n\nThat’s why I’m deducting one point, but for this location at this price—no complaints at all!\n\nThe lights turn on when you insert the room key card; however, since it isn’t linked to the air conditioner or refrigerator, they had already turned on the air conditioner before I entered and set it to a comfortable temperature. Such thoughtful service.\n\nI’ll definitely stay again. Thank you!

There is one power outlet in the bathroom and two by the bed pillows in the Room. They are far from the chair and desk by the window, so it is inconvenient to work with a laptop open. The front desk staff are polite and kind. It was helpful that they stored my luggage until check-in. A minor drawback is that faint noises and voices from the neighboring Room can be heard. The air conditioner works well and is comfortable.
