HOTEL LiVEMAX Niigata Ekimae

It's not right near Niigata Station, but it's a short walk away, and there's a convenience store nearby. The place is cheaply built, and the tables are old. There's hot water and cups, but no tea bags. It's nice to have a microwave in the room.

The room is OK. No problem for personal accommodation. 7-8 minutes walk from the station. There are no attractions in Niigata. No problem for a short break. The counter is on the second floor. 9,000 yen compensation for lost cards. Overall, it is comfortable.

The room is a bit small, but clean and tidy. The facilities are a bit old. The location is good, close to the station, and convenient to go out. There are many restaurants around, and Starbucks is not far away. Although I didn't go to the commercial street, there are many convenience stores. Eating and drinking is not a problem, and the hotel price is affordable.

First of all, it is quite close to Niigata Station, about 10-15 minutes walk. There are many restaurants or izakayas nearby, and of course there are also convenience stores. The front desk is on the second floor, so whether the elevator goes up or down, it has to stop on the second floor, which is a bit speechless. It was already past 7pm when I went there. When I arrived on the second floor, I found a lot of people gathered, all holding forms, and they seemed to be from Southeast Asia or South Asia. I thought I would have to wait slowly to check in, but later I found out that they seemed to be conducting an interview or something like that. Anyway, there was only one person in front of me checking in. After I finished checking in, they were still sitting and writing, and checking in only requires a signature. The room is not big, just like a normal business hotel in Japan. It doesn’t matter if you only stay for one night anyway. You can store your luggage for free after check-out the next day.
