Iwaki Prince Hotel

A very convenient location, within a 10-minute walk from central Iwaki, including City Hall, the art museum, and the concert hall. There are plenty of places to eat around here as well, so you can fully enjoy the nightlife without worry. One downside was that the front desk staff at both check-in and check-out were not Japanese (and different people), so their explanations were a bit hard to understand, but it seems they meant that “curry is available for free.” Since it was promised, I came back after eating out and had it as a late-night snack. It said “no refills; ends when it runs out,” but I made it in time—glad I did! It was delicious. The amenities included a wide variety of drinks, and the selection of tea in particular was excellent. The Room felt a bit old-fashioned with carpeting and such, and the bathroom was small—I kept bumping into things while washing up. Still, being able to stay for around 3,000 yen after combining various discounts felt truly unbeatable.

The Room was very clean, and the front desk staff were excellent. Being able to borrow a bicycle was convenient for going out to eat. I will definitely stay here again.
