La Jolie Motomachi
"I rate this a B. There was not any one thing that was so bad about the hotel, it was just a series of strange things that made the stay not the best. Example: all the lights in the room were on the one circuit, all lights full bright or all lights off full dark."

Hakodate Kokusai Hotel
"The room is very outdated and doesn’t look like their advertised photos at all. The lobby is located in the newer building but the room they put us in was actually in an older building. Everything inside the room was very old with strangely bad smell. There was strong cigarette smell inside the elevators. ..."
