Vessel Inn Sakae Ekimae

Great recently opened hotel. Loved the on demand movies in English and the room was nicely appointed. If you’re not used to Japanese hotel rooms, you may find them a bit tiny however the added bonus with the twin room at this hotel is that there was space under the bed for the suitcases. Breakfast was fantastic. The only gripe I have is that reception at this hotel is on the 2nd (First) floor. Every time you use the lift to go from your floor to 1st (Ground) or vice versa, the lift stops at reception and the doors open so the staff can greet (eyeball) you. This is despite having to use your room swipe card in the lift and there being cameras in the lift. This very quickly became tedious and annoying. I’m sure there is a valid security reason for this but still, tedious and annoying.
