Honestly, I'm speechless. I booked this hotel based on reviews, but the location... well, how do I put it? Even though it's in Ikebukuro and somewhat convenient, the area around the hotel is full of adult entertainment establishments. Every time I stepped out, I'd get approached and encounter drunk people – I just couldn't deal with it. Then there's the hotel itself. I couldn't even check in half an hour early. After checking out, I wanted to store my luggage but was told I could only leave it until the afternoon? I was practically kicked out, so I had to spend an extra 3000 yen (which was a hassle) to store my bags at the station, and then change my ride-hailing address, which forced the price to double for the day. This hotel really treated me 'well'. This is my first time encountering such a ridiculous hotel, and I travel to Japan multiple times a year.
