Kashiwa Plaza Hotel Honkan

I was looking for a place near the station and found this good old Hotel at an affordable price, and it was very clean. One thing to note: there are stairs up to the entrance if you have large luggage. There is a ramp, but it is quite steep, so I couldn’t roll my suitcase up. This is something to keep in mind when making a Reservation.

The bed felt a bit firm for me. Other than that, everything was efficient and comfortable. A well-cleaned Room with thoughtful, easy-to-use amenities. The towels also smelled fresh and clean. Having a tasty breakfast from 6:00 a.m. is a big help for early-morning work departures; similar Hotels nearby start breakfast at 6:30, which is just slightly too late before heading to work. I also appreciated the clear Wi‑Fi connection instructions placed on the desk—it was stress-free for someone impatient like me.I wonder if the shoe-shine paper is too stiff? It may depend on the shoe material, but with my shoes it felt like it could scratch the leather, so I stopped after one shoe.There are also lobby coffee service, a microwave, and washing machines, and it’s nice how everything you need is available within a limited space. I’d like to use this again when staying the night before work trips.
