Business Hotel Takizawa Takasaki Station Nishiguchi

朝ごはんが高い

エアコンから水が垂れてきた。アメニティが歯ブラシとタオルのみなのが残念

ホテルの駐車場が縦列駐車で狭く、電話で確認したところ「電話では説明できないからフロントに来て」と言われた。駐車できずに電話で相談しているのに「フロントに来て」と言われて困った。しかたなくホテル前（信号前）に停車し、同乗者にフロントまで往復しても羅った。靴からスリッパに履き替える際に、一つの下足ロッカーに二人分の靴を押し込まなければいけなかった。風呂場の排水口も洗面台の排水口も髪の毛が詰まっていて、使用前にティッシュで髪の毛をとった。シャワーは温水と冷水で調整するように張り紙があったが、どうやって調整しても熱水しか出ないし、シャワーヘッドは目が詰まっているのか、数本の細い水流しか出なかった。結局、一回ずつ蛇口から水と湯を洗面器に注いで洗うしかなかった。湯船の底はひび割れていて、湯をはる気にはならなかった。トイレは内鍵を閉めても鍵が掛からなかった。朝食会場は狭く、朝食時間も7時〜8時半と短いので、家族が別れて相席をするように言われた。時々食材を追加しにくるスタッフのエプロンが、何か黄色い粉にまみれていた。

There were a great many things wrong.
First of all, while the location is convenient for those using public transport, it was very difficult for me to navigate there by car, even with GPS assistance. Furthermore, the parking area turned out to be in a side street next to the hotel—a spot that didn't look like a proper parking lot at all. For the first time in ages, I felt anxious about leaving my car there. To make matters worse, I discovered upon check-in that there was a fee for parking. I was only staying one night, so the cost wasn't huge, but the whole situation was unpleasant. Right from the start, the woman at the front desk grimaced when she saw a foreigner (me); she only began to engage once I started speaking Japanese. I imagine that for foreigners who don't speak Japanese at all, even checking in would be a struggle. When booking, I had specifically requested a room in the quietest possible area. So, where did they put me? Right in front of the elevator, with a communal refrigerator for all guests situated immediately next to my door. Consequently, from early morning until late at night, I had to listen to the sound of stomping, slamming doors, and all the associated noise. The room was dated; turning on the shower created a racket like a massive pumping station, and the "cherry on top" was the bed. Have you ever slept on a bed that sloped toward the aisle? It was a first for me, and naturally, even during the brief quiet spells at night when no one was stomping or slamming things, I still couldn't sleep simply because I kept sliding off the bed. The next morning, I was a wreck from lack of sleep and hoped at least to have a decent breakfast, but things went wrong there, too. Unlike the business hotels I usually stay at, the breakfast window here was very short; when I arrived, every seat was taken, and there was no staff around.

駐車場が狭い

特にないです。

くしゃみが止まらなくなった

特にありません。

Staff (or is it owner?) is a bit stiff, but they well-prepared with signs even if you can't speak japanese, so it's not much of an obstacle.
