Hotel New Yokosuka — Hotel in Yokosuka

I arrived in japan on February 25th. I was scheduled to arrived on the 24th of February and depart Japan April 18th. My flights were running behind and this hotel decided to cancel my reservation because I didn’t arrive until the morning of the 25th. I’m out here on business. Flight being delayed was not my fault! I arrived at the airport and that was when I found out I didn’t have a room to stay in. I arrive at the hotel and I’m told no rooms are available and there was nothing they could do at that moment. I began to make phone calls to try and find a solution to this major problem I was in. A few hours later, they offer me a standard room. I had a residential suite reserved and now I’m stuck inside of the smallest, basic room they have to offer until my departure on April 18th. This room has no microwave, there is construction being done right outside my window every day. The construction looks to be a hotel or large building of some sort. The construction workers are out there, banging , drilling, craning... the whole nine until about 6pm, every day except Sunday.( I have more on this later). The rooms are very dusty and dirty, I’m constantly seeing dust floating in the air due to the hotel staff not dusting any of the window curtains. The rooms get pretty warm throughout the day, when the temperature outside rises. These rooms do not have any A/C until some-time in April, when it’s a little warmer than it is now. The heat does work when you push the knob up, but no a/c when you lower the know. So, if you happen to get hot while In your room, the only way of cooling off in by opening the window. I have noticed that the breeze from outside help keep the room cooler but the problem is the construction noise that I have to deal with if I open the window. You also have to deal with the music playing at night, when the local bars that are right in front of the hotel decide to blast their music , while you’re in bed trying to sleep. Opening the window does cool the room down but you have to either deal with construction noises or loud music playing, not to mention random food smells and cigarette smoke smells. I don’t think I will stay at this hotel if I decide to accept another trip out here. The lack of a kitchen , microwave, no a/c, the very small refrigerators, the outside noises and smells has made this trip very unpleasant for myself. Also, this hotel cancelling my reservation without consulting myself or my job about it, was really disappointing. I flew out of Virginia and it took me 3 different flights and pretty much a whole day of flying just to make it here and that’s what I’m greeted with. Normally I don’t write reviews but this definitely deserved it. I’m almost angered, that this has been a disaster...

I was at the property for a business trip at the naval base. You can literally walk to the base in about 5 minutes, so it's great if you are working there. My room rate included drink coupons, and although I'm not a big drinker, it was nice being able to get the occasional beer in the evenings. Coffee was available 24/7, always a plus in any hotel. Breakfast was also included. Nothing fancy, but it filled the hole, and while the breakfast was standard American fare (scrambled eggs, french toast, great orange juice, etc), they also had something Japanese on available. Tempura shrimp one day, pork rolls the next, etc. ||||It's right in the middle of the action. It can get pretty noisy outside. I use my phone as a white noise machine, so no problems. There is a 7-11 caddy-corner to the hotel, and Japanese 7-11s are nothing like those in the states. They had really good food, inexpensive bottled water, etc.||||The wi-fi was simple to access, you just had to reconnect when you went from your room to the lobby. Most of the guests were American, Australian and Brits. There was the occasional Japanese customer, but they were in the minority. There are loads of excellent restaurants within easy walking distance, and the train station was about a 10 minute walk. The desk clerks spoke decent enough English to make check in and out fairly simple. ||||The room I had was small, but adequate. It was clean, and had black-out blinds which were necessary to block the light from the street. ||||If I have another trip to the area, I would happily stay...

Staff are mostly friendly. Hotel is situated in the heart of the bar scene in a “Navy town”, One block from the base. Train stations (Yokosuka Chou and Shioiri) are within about three blocks from the hotel. By train it’s about 2 hours to Yokota, ten hours to Sasebo / Iwakuni, one hour to Yokohama. Many residents complained of the weekend and week day noise outside. If you’re a light sleeper, this may not be for you. There are actually 3 buildings. The main building has the smaller, older more typical Japanese rooms. The building directly across from there has studio type rooms for longer stays. These rooms provide a desk, midsized refrigerator, two burner stove, a sink, and two small closets plus additional storage space overhead, a small balcony and a desk and chair. The rooms there have a recliner and footstool, with a queen sized bed. Free wi fi and flat screen tv also provided. My American electronics plugged in easily with out need for adapters. The 3rd building is located about 3 short blocks from the main building and is located very near the military base but in a more quiet area. This is the best of the three. More space! couches and it’s a bit more modern. For either building, you can purchase a package to have breakfast at the main building restaurant. Temperatures were about 49 to 60s during my December-...
