Hotel Dengan bar di Prefektur Toyama, Jepang

Beautiful hotel (about 7 min walk to the station) and was a great Ryokan experience as the room was traditional and had a breath-taking view. Futons were sufficiently comfortable - but wished there was the whole Ryokan welcome and fanfare. Staff was welcoming but did not speak much English though they had papers of English instructions all ready. There was a free shuttle out of the hotel at fixed timings to the nearest Shinkansen (Unazukionsen Station) Onsen was relaxing and was supplied with good quality products for every aspect of grooming. Lots of vending machines were available, there was a souvenir shop on site though pricey. We just did not enjoy the corridors as it gave out a creepy vibe (due to it being an older establishment), hence, we did not enjoy moving around the hotel). Facilities were beautiful and well preserved. Food as part of the experience was a good and large helping. We opted for the full seafood experience but it had a lot of sashimi or cured seafood which was not to our own liking (we did not really know what we signed up for, really our fault!) Breakfast was a good spread and really hearty. A lot of traditional and local specialties to experience! Overall a great stay! (Shops in the vicinity closes at about 5pm and open at 10am)

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toyama, sebagai hotel ala Amerika, pastinya lebih besar dari hotel ala Jepang. Namun, di Jepang, harga hotel semacam itu setara dengan 2-3 kali lipat harga hotel serupa di Amerika Serikat. Apalagi harga kamar twin untuk dua orang jauh lebih mahal dibandingkan untuk satu orang (aneh juga, saya tanya ke front desk, katanya di Jepang😠)

1. Pada malam pertama, kami makan di prasmanan hotel. Brosur di kamar dengan jelas menyatakan bahwa harga aslinya adalah 4000 yen, dengan diskon 20% untuk tamu hotel, sehingga menjadi 3200 yen. Namun, ketika kami menerima tagihan, harganya masih dihitung 4000 yen per orang. Setelah berkomunikasi, harganya diubah menjadi 3200 yen per orang. Selama komunikasi, terlihat jelas bahwa staf restoran mengetahui kebijakan diskon tersebut. 2. Iklan online hotel menyatakan bahwa resepsionis memiliki layanan dalam bahasa Inggris dan Jepang. Ketika saya menelepon resepsionis hotel dan layanan kamar dari kamar saya dalam bahasa Inggris, mereka berbicara dalam bahasa Jepang dan langsung menutup telepon setelah mendengar bahasa Inggris.
