KEIKYU EX HOTEL TAKANAWA — Hotel in Tokyo

This hotel is our speed - a place to sleep, shower, and get out to see Tokyo. My review is aimed at Westerners who have no experience with Japanese 'business hotels'. The lobby is staffed with English speaking, friendly clerks and that's it. You pick your own room amenities (coffee, tea, bathroom necessities like cotton squares and swabs) from the lobby counter and bring them to your room. The rooms are small but not unworkable. There is a fridge and an iron, hot water kettle, coffee cups, hair dryer, a Lenovo tablet, a TV, small alarm clock, a robe (changed daily) and disposable slippers. The bathrooms have the usual 'washlet' bidet and heated toilet seats :-) yay. As with all the hotels we stayed at, we were provided with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, and drinking cups. Daily replaced amenities included toothbrush/toothpaste, razor, disposable washcloth, hairbrush. No hand lotions. Towels (all hotels we stayed at ) were one hand and one bath towel per person. We could have asked for more but decided not to. The bath has a clothes line. Plenty of outlets and ethernet cables if need be. ||||No breakfast is provided, you can get your own at the Royal Host next door (or even McDonalds closer to the station) but we picked up plenty of breakfast items at the station conbini (Kinokuniya and a Daily News) but head to the Konan side of the station for the food at Dean Deluca and Atre! OMG! ||||This isn't the closest hotel to Shinagawa station but the price was right. Only other downside was room temperature can't be regulated although you can open the window, and our wifi kept...
