Kawagoe Tobu Hotel

It took us a while to find the hotel. Google maps weren't very helpful this time. We exited out from the west gate of Kawagoe Station, walked across the pedestrian bridge to U Place Shopping Mall and got stuck. What you need to do next is to look for 7-Eleven. Near there are four lifts that will take you up to level 7. The hotel reception is on level 7. We were very happy with our room. Very clean. The view was amazing! Totally unexpected. Our room was on the 11th floor. With air con settings and lighting control, this hotel is definitely the most technologically advanced for us. We felt spoilt! We had a twin room with 2 twin beds. We didn't expect the room to be this big! Separate toilet, wash basin and bathroom. The bathroom has a bath tub plus the traditional Japanese style bath (small stool and bucket). We even had separate bedside tables! The tea kettle is so cute! The buffet breakfast is served in a restaurant outside the hotel but still in the mall. It is called "in the park". Food is tasty and there were so many items to choose from! And the Christmas decorations were up! We really like this hotel so we felt bad that we only stayed one night here. Next time we visit Kawagoe again, we'll definitely stay more than one night.

It was a superb hotel that we stayed among the 8 hotels during our trip. We had an unforgettable stay! The hotel location is about 2-3 min walk from the JR station. There is a pedestrian deck from the west exit of the station so we just walked all the way to the hotel without going up and down. The hotel is in the building called U-place (shopping plaza), take the elevator to the 7th floor where the lobby is. (the 7th to 11th floors are the hotel.) The staff were nice and friendly. There is a free coffee machine opposite to the front desk. The room size is okay for us (as expected and no complaints). The room is clean and very nice. Using smart control panel to control aircon, lighting etc. We could mirror our phone to TV to see movies. There's a USB and power outlet on the headboard. The bed is comfy.
