Stayed two nights to see / experience Okayama. My room looked quite tired and sad--stained carpeting, walls covered with numerous scuffs and scratches, decor from 1988. One small, lonely pillow on the bed. Why not offer two pillows? After I keyed in, I wondered, "Am I in Japan?" On further inspection, the phone on the desk and the light fixture in the bathroom looked as if they hadn't been cleaned in months. Visible mold in the shower. I live in here in Japan, and I have stayed in numerous hotels all over the country; regarding cleanliness, this hotel was perhaps the worst. If you are coming from overseas to experience the wonders of Japan, do not stay here. In my case, I was simply too exhausted after a long day of traveling, so I didn't complain. I should have. Other than the friendly staff, a cold AC in the room, and the clean sheets on the bed, there is nothing redeeming about this hotel. The manager should be ashamed.
