Tachikawa Hotels with Balcony

"When I was researching, I only needed accommodation near Ajinomoto Stadium, which is actually 35-45 minutes away (but it takes almost 2 hours from Narita to the hotel). The actual stay exceeded my expectations. Tachikawa Station, where I got off, has many shopping malls to choose from. The station itself also has many restaurants, cafes, and dessert shops, so I didn't even need to go to Shinjuku/Shibuya (which I've been to many times already). There's plenty of food, shopping, and branded goods. If you walk to the lower floor of LUMINE Tachikawa (right next to the station building; you can ask at the information counter on the 3rd floor of the station building, they have many fluent English speakers. When I mentioned I was from Thailand, they even greeted me with a ”hello”!), you can access a convenience store (similar to Tops or Big C) or a sushi/sashimi area with many shops to choose from. The prices are reasonable, and the sushi is delicious – great value for money. The hotel is also not far from the station, a 5-6 minute walk. You'll pass Lawson, Family Mart, and Newsday convenience stores along the way. 7-Eleven might be a bit harder to find, but there are some. For those who like bars at night, you might see a lot of drunk people/smokers if you return late, as there are many bars and restaurants. As for the hotel itself... I arrived at 1 PM and was able to check in and go straight to my room. I got a room at the very end with a glass window that couldn't be opened (showing the street view), and on the other side was a glass balcony (view of various buildings). The reception staff were incredibly lovely. They were very helpful when I asked for directions, even though they didn't speak much English, but they were still very helpful – I was very impressed. It saved me a lot of time getting to the places I asked about. The room and bed were spacious. It had a hairdryer, kettle, TV, refrigerator, cutlery, plates, bowls, cooking pots, and a sink. The toiletries were all there, as expected for a hotel. I didn't even need to bring pajamas. If I wanted a dishwasher, I could ask at reception. I felt very private. However, the cleaning room starts at 10 AM every day. For someone like me who sleeps late, it felt like I was being woken up constantly (I put a sign on the door saying not to wake me, I want to sleep). But the cleaning noise was very loud, like they were banging on the door. It wasn't very pleasant, but I could tolerate it – I'd wake up and then go back to sleep. I didn't use the cleaning room for a day because I just slept all the time. Every day, I received a bathrobe/towel/hair towel/bath mat/bathroom amenities like shower cap, comb, brush, etc. from the reception. They also served green tea at the reception, with a hot water dispenser and green tea bags for me to make my own. However, I also received green tea bags in the room/or every day. (Some hotels serve coffee, some don't serve anything at all.) If I have the chance to go to that area again, I will definitely stay here again. I was very impressed. *I didn't take any pictures of the hotel, only pictures of the train station I got off at and the welcome message."
