Odakyu Hotel Century Sagami-Ono

An extremely ordinary Japanese hotel. Is it a bit expensive to think of it as a business hotel? It said a retreat, etc., but it did not seem like it at all, and when I tried to make a massage Reservation, the person of the reception asked me to go to a room, and I went all the way to the room of the massage, but it ended because there was no time available. It is better to think of Japan's 30-year-old hotels as stretching as they are . Just conveniently located near the station.

It is a good hotel, oriented to Japanese. English is limited, the rooms are average size, amenities are more limited when compared to western hotel standards. The location is great, next to the Sagami-ono station and the limousine bus service to the international airports. Food options are limited for westerners - heavily Japanese-oriented cuisine and only open for breakfast. However, there are a number of other restaurant options in the adjoining mall we could have pursued.

Hotel lobby is on the 7F although you can enter from the Station floor (3F) via elevator. The hotel has a lovely all-female floor. Go up elevator, enter foyer where a fresh-water cooler awaits. There are serene sliding tinted doors on both sides. One is for the ice, soda and washing-machine (as well as a small secluded smoking area covered in glass.) The other, is for the hotel rooms. In order to enter the room-hallway, you must use your card-key. It is quiet and calming, which I have never felt in a hotel. The room was simple, clean, roomy and comfortable--with individual wifi. There's complimentary tea, coffee, and hot pot. The small fridge is only just-cool with no ice compartment-which is ok as ice is across the hall. The round table and single chair are designed for the single-traveling female. The bed is lower to the ground than western beds, but REALLY comfortable, with an extra pillow in closet. The bathroom is bright, only lacks lotion, which I use after a shower. But they had little packets of facial wash, scrub and face toner in a complimentary pouch. The shower head was removable and had excellent power. The temp of water can get REALLY hot, so if you want to take a hot, hot bath, you can do so! The view was of the walking station area below, with lights and action, bus station below as well as taxis awaiting, but I could not hear a thing, so the insulation is impressive. There's an entire shopping area with grocery store, flower shop, bread stores and coffee shops on the 3F with a 100-yen store, cake shop and restaurants on both 7-8F. As everyone has said, it is a 1-minute walk to the ticket wicket to aboard the train to either Shinjuku on 1-end or the Mt Fuji area going the opposite direction. The Romance Car-fancy name for faster train can be taken from Sagami-Ono station. So comfortable and faster. The area is but yet clean and not congested at all. As any big city, people are doing their own thing so you won't meet people randomly unless you take some risks. For me, the hotel suited my needs and I felt incredibly rested, safe and secure traveling alone. I paid approximately $75 a night. (8200 yen - tax included)
