bnb+Atami Resort — Hotel in Atami

It was clean and I was glad to have the free earplugs, since there were people coming in and out and every time they did the door made a huge bang, and there were a few people snoring, which isn't their fault. It was a nice short walk to the station and to the waterfront. I'm glad there was a place to sit and eat with a decent view, and that there was a fridge to store some food. The check-in procedure with face recognition on the tablet was cumbersome. It felt really janky and didn't like that I had to sign up for an account. There's no QR code to quickly connect to the Wifi at the entrance, just the password, though there are QR codes everywhere inside to connect. So it's hard to connect at the entrance especially when there's other people crowded around trying to check in. There were only two showers (one men, one women) for all the people there. Much too few! I'm glad noticed it right when checked in and took one in the afternoon. Another reviewer said that the heat wasn't turned on when they stayed but it was on when I stayed. It may have been a little hot for my tastes but it wasn't bad. Overall, if you're looking for the cheapest place this is it but if you want something nicer...

In some ways this is a nice little spot to stay, but it's definitely utilitarian and they could make a couple of simple improvements that would make the stay much better. First of all, don't believe Google Maps when it tells you where to enter the building. It's completely wrong, at least mine was. And the entrance was not easy to find because there was no sign on the building. They had a little sign on one of those A frames that people put out on the sidewalk in front of cafes and such, but it wasn't out where you could see it.

Secondly, they should install a fan in each pod. I was so hot and had to sleep with the curtain open, letting in the light from the hall. And even then it was a little too warm.

Thirdly, the mattress was very thin and I woke up with my back hurting.

But otherwise, they keep the place very clean, it was quiet, and the receptionist was very sweet...

+:The service was really kind and let me check in even though the beds weren't made since I was way too early.The location is really nice not too far away from the train station and close to the sea side promenade and beach.Luggage store room under bed was quite spaciousThey have an extra room with a small billard table-:only one shower and toilet for men (same for women), so you had to wait sometimes, the most in the morning before check out.Entrance is hard to find in a dark small alley in the corner...
