Hotel New Otani Takaoka

With the exception of resorts, New Otani is located in the least populated city, and for some reason, it seems to be a core city close to Oyabe, the birthplace of founder Yonetaro Otani. The rooms are a little larger than business hotels, and the interiors are generally worn out, but surprisingly, with six listed companies, Takaoka boasts a majestic social environment with a solid base of industries such as castings and exports of used cars.

It is also reasonably close to Takaoka Station. Located within walking distance of sightseeing spots in central Takaoka. I didn't think luxury was a good idea, but I got the impression it was a luxury business hotel with everything you need. The view from the room wasn't bad either. It was a satisfying hotel, not too expensive if used well for seasonal or early reservations.

The New Otani Hotel in Takaoka was my home for three days. Centrally located Takaoka it was easy to commute with the railway station and the major tourist attractions here. The hotel is easy to find as it’s the only tall building in the proximity. The size of the room - executive single, was very small indeed, and I would not say it was altogether comfortable to work in. Having seen the double rooms on the other side of the corridor I will certainly be reserving this when I return next month. The hotel boasts a great selection of restaurants but they were all closed due to low occupancy caused by the reaction to the Covid 19 virus concerns. Front desk speaks good English. The ground floor coffee shop wouldn’t let me in for breakfast because breakfast wasn’t prepaid - even though I was prepared to pay. Bizarre. I gave this restaurant a wide berth thereafter. There is a supermarket near the back entrance of the hotel and they have a good selection of food and drink you can take back to your room. Hunger no more. A fair hotel at a reasonable price. Careful to book a double room if you want space though.
