Kuretake Inn Premium Shizuoka Ekimae — Hotel in Shizuoka

This hotel is situated near the JR station, so it's convenient. At check-in they will give you coupons, one for a free drink and another one for a free breakfast. They also provide some kind of free dinner if you drink at the restaurant.

I very much prefer that my junk does not touch any part of the toilet bowl. This is not a hotel we...

Not very pleased with experience here. Assigned a smokers room though I dpecified non smoking when booking my trip. Receptionist advised all non smoking rooms were already assigned. After a request that they accommodate me in an alternative hotel then, a 'single' room was available. As by now I was travelling solo I acceoed, to find ot had a double bed. This room was clesn fresh and comfortable and adequately serviced me for my single night stay. The free breakfast in the morning was adequate and though mainly Japonese in style, was no way comparable to other Japanese breakfasts I had on this trip. There wa no Japanese rice porridge , for examole...a basic. The Kuratake Inn can be described as...
