Okayama International Hotel
The hotel room and amenities were super clean and the view from my room and the garden were spectacular. The only negative is that you have to take a taxi in and out of the hotel which is quite expensive.

Okayama Plaza Hotel
The hotel is clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Location is right next to the park and river, city center is at walking distance. Parking is easy, many places available for free. Breakfast was good when there was buffet but the pre-order days breakfast was small and not to my liking so ...

Mitsui Garden Hotel Okayama
The staff is mostly friendly. Only one man at reception was rude when I asked him for my checkout time. He told me that because I had made the reservation through this app, I wouldn't be able to receive any benefits, even though I have a hotel membership.
