Great location, check-in and check-out was efficient. The massage chair is novel, but takes up too much space where having a space to place luggage is far more appropriate and appreciated.

APA Hotel Akihabara Suehirocho Ekimae
Staff was great and the hotel was very clean. Only issue was the lack of real air conditioning so the room was too hot to sleep in. I asked the staff for a way to cool the room and they gave me this weird water based fan that did not do much.
