Hotels Near Yumemigasaki Zoological Park in Kawasaki

I’ve stayed at several places in Tokyo/Yokohama and the Keikyu EX Inn Kawasaki Station is my new favorite place to stay. Flying in and out of Haneda, this hotel is located along the Keikyu line. Quick and easy access to Haneda. To get to the lobby, exit the Central Exit and right after Mister Donut on the left there is an elevator. Use the elevator to the 3rd floor and the lobby will be on the right after exiting the elevator (there’s a cafe immediately outside the elevator, just past that cafe is the front desk). Access to the elevator for the rooms requires a guest key which made me feel better being a solo female traveler. There’s shower amenities and a coffee/tea station just before the elevators. Elevators run pretty quick and during my stay was never a crowding issue. I caught it alone more times than with other guests. The single room is a standard business hotel sized room for Japan. I stored my suitcase, hand carry and one full size duffle along the wall. No storage space under the bed. The bed was more comfortable than most I’ve had in Japan. I noticed beds tend to be firmer in Japan. The mini fridge didn’t get super cold, I’d worry about keeping dairy in there over long periods of time. I could not find a temperature adjustment for the fridge. I was able to change the AC temperature. Sometimes Japan hotels do not allow you to change it from heating during the cold months. I like my room to be cold so I was glad I was able to adjust the temperature. Some mornings I could hear the trains running. I was already awake so I don’t know if the noise is enough to wake me up. I used Airporter to send my luggage to the airport from this hotel which made my last day in Tokyo very enjoyable. There are multiple eating places and shopping places nearby. The JR line is close (use the North Exit when leaving the JR Kawasaki Station). The Keikyu EX Inn Kawasaki Ekimae is my new go to hotel when staying in Tokyo!

The room was renewed, and it became a card key type such as membership card from the style of opening the door of the room using the key. It is a style in which you leave the key at the front desk when you go out and have the key returned at the front desk when you come back, and when you return to the hotel during consecutive nights, the time to return to the hotel overlaps with the peak check-in time. To wait in front of the front desk to get the key. Thanks to the change to the card key, there was no meaningless waiting time in front of the front desk. I feel like it's a trade-off with security. .. .. The ratio of work clothes for guests is high. It is wise to be prepared for congestion in the parking lot from morning (around 7:00) to evening. In the evening, pedestrians on the sidewalk between the roadway and the parking lot will be interrupted, so if the timing is bad, it will be a petite traffic jam.

Generally speaking, business hotels have the advantages of convenient transportation, clean environment, complete equipment, good service, and fast Internet speed. The special advantages are the large mirrors and large TV screens. After switching between three hotels in Tokyo, I feel that it is very good for my body. The difference in size between the mirror and the TV screen is particularly profound. The breakfast is from the chain coffee shop downstairs, which is quite satisfactory and the dining environment is good. I stayed for 2 nights this time and found that there were many guests. I will come back next time.

Behind Kawasaki City Hall. So, access is not only Keikyu and JR, but also from Haneda Airport by one bus to the city hall bus stop (however, it takes about 50 minutes, so it is not recommended). The room is small, but it feels like a line with an ordinary business hotel. Igusa slippers (I thought there were ordinary disposable slippers), human sensor lighting, drip coffee, Japanese-style don't disturb, Samue-style indoor clothes, etc. I am trying to differentiate and have a good impression. By the way, I felt that the water pressure of the washbasin was a little weak, but this may be the intention of the hotel. Personally, because I often discharge water with the water pressure max, the cup bounces back the water flow, and as a result, the wash basin is full of water but the cup is empty. However, what did not happen to such a small tragedy is the kindness of this hotel? If so, this hotel may be a ”can-do child”. The room was well cleaned. The response of the front desk staff was polite and friendly. I have heard that the guest and staff are exchanged ”I want to book breakfast tomorrow” and ”I am full thanks”, so I have heard several times by chance, so those who want to be sure to have breakfast seem to be good in advance. I think it is a hotel targeting visitors to Japan, but Japanese stay is also affordable and comfortable. However, I am a Japanese educated in Japan, but I have always misunderstood the name of this hotel as ”Green Road”. Excuse me.

Even though it is a three stars hotel but I felt that it has way exceeded my expectations. I was afraid that the public facilities such as the onsen and eating area will not be maintained well but they were really clean. Nothing to complain about the room, it looks new and tidy. Other than the perks of having late night snacks, there are also reading corners, massage chairs and laundry (+dryer) machines. It is worth to at least try the breakfast for one day, the spread was extensive! Location wise, it is really convenient. It's just a few mins walk to the main streets and there is a direct train station to Haneda Airport.

I personally think that the kuchikomi is overrated. The front desk is small and the coffee server is in front of the front desk! Ice making machine, microwave oven, vending machine in the back. The shared PC also looks round from the front desk. There is no sense (>_<) The front desk is not good or bad. There was no oshibori service written in the kuchikomi. The elevator is a security elevator that doesn't move if you don't have a card key. The room is single and 16m2 and the size is bad but too dark! Only downlight, no sealing light. I can't even read a newspaper in the room, not to work. There is a small table light, but I gave up reading because my eyes were going to get bad. It is a double window for noise countermeasures and cannot be ventilated. The TV is 32 inches of land or Toshiba. There are trousers pressers, humidifier cleaners, and portable chargers. There are two glasses and mugs in the hot pot. One tea pack of Sencha and Hoji tea. Room and bathroom are barrier free without step. Amenities are substantial from toothbrush, shaver to cotton swab, cotton, and cheeks. Why is the bath towel place on the unit bus side? There are 5 hangers and enough. There is a deodorant spray. Access is just a short walk from the east exit of JR Tsurumi Station along CIAL Tsurumi. It may be a little difficult to understand the entrance.

For tourists it is close, maybe a quarter mile from JR and Tsurumi train station😀 Grocery store just up the same road😀 Food options close-by or farther out within easy walking distance😀 Check-In was easy and I anticipate check-out will be just as easy😀 Nice laundry area, three washers and dryers 😀 No folding table, they could have installed one on wall☹️ Older BW, but overall, kept clean and in good condition😀 Staff overall friendly, but much like Japanese, not engaging and communication is rough🤫 Was given 2 bottles of water when checking-in, which is BW standards😀 The one clerk who spoke English said to just ask for more each day. When we did, both times was told we needed to get out of vending machine😡 Room was NOT cleaned one day, We guess because we had don’t disturb sign on door till 10:10am until we left. They start their duties at 10am, I guess if they see sign at at that time, they pass you over for day😡 Three days, used coffee cups were not replaced😡 Overall, quiet around us for every night😀 Nice hot shower water with great pressure😀 TV is terrible, only CNN! Would be nice to at least have Japanese music channel😀 Beds were comfortable😀 No wash clothes, I was told they don’t use them here😳 We went out and bought our own bath Scrubby’s. Nice towels, you get two with two hand towels😬 No complementary coffee in the morning, that’s a first for us at BW😡 I hear good things about hot coffee vending machines here, put one in! Have breakfast for $1200 Yen I believe, did not try. We booked almost a month out, our room size was a large closet☹️ Simply had to walk sideways once you passed the bathroom door😡 Clothes had to be spread out on couch😡 Bathroom is SMALL☹️ The good news, we are discovering what Japan has to offer, so only in room to sleep🙄 Would I stay here again, “NO,” the amenities were just to week☹️ We are loyal BW guests and Diamond Select customers, we have come to expect a little more😬

Satisfied with the whole service and the luxury environment even though it is a 3 stars category hotel. A daily clean service every morning of the rooms and the Amenity pack shower with tooth brush and other supplies offering as well. A great choice for the travelers.

Although we were only here for the night I enjoyed the available amenities and the river view. The closeness to the airport made it for us as we had a 13hrs lay over and decided to spend the night here rather than at the airport.

Nice view with a fair price. I was trying to confirm the location of the parking lots with the staff but the front desk of this hotel is located above the ground floor. Overall, it is a good hotel.
