Hotel Livemax Chiba Chuo Ekimae

1st hotel in Japan i stayed at this trip that had decent pillows! The microwave was vert helpful.

Good clean room, staff are nice, Could help if change old mattress The parking was expensive -

We liked that this hotel was close to lots of dining, drinking, shopping and a central train station that had the Narita Express Line and local trains. Our room was more spacious than the "Henn Na Tokyo" hotel we previously stayed, but the bathroom was more cramped and their mirror was placed so that you had to crouch or sit on the toilet to see your face. Their air conditioner was better at turning on and off to keep your desired temperature. They actually had humans instead of robots for their front desk staff. One thing to note is that this place is close to a lot of girl bars and massage parlors. There were a couple of solicitors that hung out at the hotel's street corner every night. They didn't bother us, but conservative families considering this location might want to be aware of the neighborhood. Our room was on the 5th floor so we didn't hear a lot of noise. But other than that, the location is great for shopping and for being removed from the hustle & bustle of Tokyo without it taking too long to access it within a day.
