Affordable business hotel in front of Okayama Station. Dinner and breakfast are provided free of charge. You can choose between a set meal or curry for dinner. It's a simple set meal, but it's nice that it's free. Breakfast is served buffet style. You can use the shared space near the hotel front desk and the tables in the dining room. You can drink freely during the meal. The furikake is a nice touch😊 The facilities are old and the food is simple, but this is a business hotel with great service. #Okayama #BusinessHotel #BizHo #OkayamaHotel #FreeBreakfast #OkayamaTrip #OkayamaSightseeing #SummerWeekendTrip #SummerWeekendTrip
