Toyoko INN Miyazaki Ekimae — Hotel in Miyazaki

I have a worst hotel experience in Japan in this hotel. I have a paid reservation from the 6th and for some personal reasons I came on the 7th of May. And it’s the disaster. They want in the beginning to make me pay for the 5 remaining days again. After a long discussion between the 5 people working in the reception ( no one of them is speaking English) I understand they accept me again but I can’t get my room before 4 pm. As I came at 10:30 am, I had to wait 6 hours to get the room on the 7th even my reservation was paid from the 6th. |My wife and I was so tired and slept in the table but they didn’t care.

I flew into Miyazaki from Osaka, and was easily able to get to Miyazaki Station via train. The hotel is literally a 3 minute walk from the station, so it's really convenient for anyone who is relying on JR trains to get around. The restaurants, bars and main shopping area, however, seem to be distant from the station, which is a little unusual. I found that finding something to eat other than convenience store food was a bit of a task; I ended up walking 15 minutes into the central area. As for the hotel itself, it's of typical Toyoko Inn fashion, economy-sized rooms, complimentary breakfast and a helpful staff. Their prices are always really reasonable, and I've never had a problem with cleanliness. Despite it being separated a bit from the action, it's a good place to stay. I'd...
