The Cue

The hotel offers clean and private bathrooms, convenient location near the JR station and dining options. Guests enjoyed comfortable bedding, hot water, and charging ports, but mentioned the absence of specific amenities.

We were booked to stay here on our first night in Japan. Check-in time was 5 pm. We arrived at 5.04 pm. There was a notice in the window saying, we are not here, giving a phone number and email address. We’d just arrived in Japan so had no phone and no access to email. As we were trying to find someone with a local phone, one of the people who’d already checked in let us in and gave us the info they got on check-in. We worked out what rooms we were in and settled in. The proprietor arrived at 6.30 pm and was angry and abusive that we’d been let into the property without her permission. We tried to explain that we were unable to contact her but she just continued the abuse. Not a good start to our Japan trip. In addition, the room we were in had flimsy curtains and had very bright streetlights shining in. Made it difficult to sleep. Positives 1. the futons were comfortable. 2. It’s close to the train station.
