We use the hotel as our base to travel (day-trips) in Tokyo and Kanto region. Despite its compact size like most business hotels, FlexStay Inn Higashi-Jujo is convenient as it’s very close to the station (just 1min walk). There are seven-eleven and ramen shop across from hotel. Although staff is available until 6pm, late check-in is possible until midnight. We just have to email hotel staff and they’ll let us have password to get inside hotel. Then the late-shift hotel staff will prepare keycard for us. As Higashi Jujo is JR station, it helps save money for those with JR pass. The JR Keihin-tohoku Line can lead us to our favorite station Omiya where we usually have to connect to other trains/shinkansen.
