It is a normal hotel with the standard size of room in Japan (small) at a reasonable price at the time I stayed (Suzuka F1 + Hanami).
The bed was not 1'50m as in the description of the room, it was 1'35m, although it iwa sclean, quiet and beds are comfortable, IMO.
The room is cleaned once every three days, claiming they do for the environment. As I stayed 3 nights, I didn't get my room cleaned one single day. However, they give you a complete set of new towels everyday, whether you need them or not :/

Carpet & mattress are very old & quite dirty. Excellent location. You will have hundreds of choices if you are willing to pay just a little bit more. Also, my skin & eyes are allergic to something inside the room.

I was worried that it would be noisy at night because it's in the downtown area of Shinsakae, but it wasn't at all like that.
When I made the reservation, I asked for a room far from the elevator, and they did exactly that, which was nice.
I stayed in a double room by myself, but the price wasn't much different from a single room, so I was able to relax and enjoy a good deal.
There is a Meitetsu coin parking lot in front of the hotel that can accommodate about five cars, but I used the affiliated Central Parking Sakae (1,300 yen for 24 hours).
It's about a five-minute walk, but if you drive from the front of the hotel, you have to make a big detour because it's a one-way street, so it's probably easier to park first.
However, if there is a coin parking lot in front of the hotel available, that's the best option. (Reservations not accepted)

The room is very small. The hotel staff said it is 15 square meters. There is a small stove and a useless sofa that takes up space. It is not available in most hotels. It seems to be converted from an apartment. The aisle is very narrow and the 24-inch suitcase cannot be spread out.
The bathtub has scratches from long-term use. The facilities are relatively old.
It is not recommended to stay here. You can choose Toyoko Inn for the same price.
The club is opposite the hotel. The transportation is convenient. It is OK for one person to live there, but it is not OK for two people.

I stayed here five years ago! I booked another room this time. It was a tatami room! Oh my god! I was really shocked when I went in. It was very dirty! And the toilet smelled like urine! The head of the bed was facing the window, which was some bars across the street! I was really disappointed. It was so bad. The price was over 300. I booked it because it was cheap! But it was really bad! The room had a very strong musty smell! I opened the window and air-conditioned it for a long time before it got better! And I felt a little uncomfortable for no reason and didn't dare to sleep! I rarely feel scared and can't sleep in Japan! The room type is not very good. My intuition is really accurate in this regard.

I always use this hotel. The front desk staff are friendly, the rooms are clean, the beds are big, and it's very easy to use.

I use it every time very comfortably. Above all, the location is great. The surrounding area is relatively quiet, which I like.

I stayed here for 3 nights. It was a great location, just a short walk from the center of Sakae. I would like to stay here again. It was helpful that there were many izakayas and restaurants around the hotel.

The location of the hotel is acceptable, but the surrounding environment of the hotel is complicated. The facilities in the hotel are relatively old and the hygiene is average. It is okay for a short stay. The king-size bed is quite large, the pillows are too soft, and the air conditioner is not cold enough.

All the rooms are smoking rooms, and there is a strong smell of cigarettes when you enter... Then there is a duck shop opposite, and there are many bars on the street behind. It is not noisy at night, but it is a little unsafe to go out at night...

It was very clean and the front desk staff were very polite. However, the hotel is located in the middle of the host town, so there are a lot of people trying to catch people at night, so it might be better for women not to go out alone.

The location was in the middle of the city at night, and the neon lights in front of me were too bright, so I closed the curtains and went to sleep. I only needed to sleep, so it was fine.
