Plaza Hotel Shimonoseki — Hotel in Shimonoseki

Quite disappointed and awful experience. This is the second time visiting Japan. While the rent determines the quality in return, but it has gone too far for a modern and developed country. I would not expect the room had poor ventilation system and the only window in the room was a sham as it was fixed. What is the use of the window if one cannot open? When asked the key to open the window, such a modest request was declined by virtue of safety reason. Hardly eventually the hotel was asked for a fan before the the ventilation got worse.

They politely refused which is OK but I felt somewhat...

The location is quite ok, the Karato fish market and train station within walking distance.|We had a twin deluxe room which was of good size, and had a chair and sofa.

Bathroom was ok.|Breakfast predominantly asian, however a good croissant and rolls to be backed off on the spot.|nice view from 10th floor restaurant. Couple of restaurants around, eg a good tempura one within...
