Hotel Bintang 3 di Prefektur Mie, Jepang

Stayed at Suzuka Circuit Hotel during last weekend—pure racer’s dream! Rooms overlook the iconic track, with comfy beds and modern amenities. Breakfast buffet fueled us for the day, and the on-site spa melted away the roar’s afterglow. Staff were speedy and friendly, like a well-tuned pit crew. Minor nit: WiFi lagged during peak hours. Overall, 4.5/5—rev up for an unforgettable motorsport escape!

We were quite happy with the hotel, which was fairly new and service staff were very helpful. While preparing my toast, a staff came back again to offer a tray. The common area was fairly adequate with a lot of seating, access to a microwave, small stove and fridge. As an added bonus, there is aluminium foil and plastic wrap available. Room size was decent, and the design of the layout was good. The hotel seems to be in the middle of nowhere, and it was noticed staff were extra careful to explain with the restaurants nearby.

The hotel is easily reachable by car, but if you are using the train, it’s 30/40min by walk or you should jump on a bus. Nearby there are konbinis and a supermarket, which is super useful if you want to eat at the hotel and take advantage of the microwave (there are not a lot of restaurants nearby). The hotel is clean and comfortable—if you want, you can also book a private bath room for free, which is great. On top of the usual amenities, you can also find different options for shampoo and conditioner (ex. one for damaged hair, etc..)
