Hotel Redent Ito

The front desk service was friendly, and it's about a 10-minute walk from Ito Station. There are washing machines and dryers on the first floor, and you can buy laundry detergent. The room was clean, the air conditioning was strong, and each floor had a vending machine for drinks. The pillows and blankets were comfortable, and while the bed was a bit firm, it was still good for sleeping. The only downside is that the hallway soundproofing isn't great.

Seriously, this is the biggest hotel I've stayed at in Japan. It's a must-choose for family trips! All the toiletries are available near the elevator exit on the first floor, and you can even choose from various brands of shampoo and facial cleansers. The service is also super warm. When I asked if it was easy to get a taxi outside, the staff member personally took me to a nearby spot where it's easier to hail a cab and explained that the starting fare would be lower there – very nice of them! It's a five-minute walk to Ito Station, and you get to stroll through a shopping street on the way. There's an Aeon nearby that closes at 11 PM, and also a bakery.

The room was spacious, very clean, and well-lit, with complete amenities including Japanese yukata. There was also a microwave available, and the in-room facilities were comprehensive. Housekeeping did a great job, and the location is excellent, close to both the beach and Ito Station.

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the station. The first time we used Google Maps, it led us to the side of the hotel. The hotel entrance isn't very big or noticeable, and there's a parking lot right next to it. Actually, from the station, cross the street to the opposite side, walk straight down Hana no Yu-dori until the end, then cross the road and turn right to find it. The room is quite simple. If you don't like the shampoo and body wash in the room, you can grab a small basket on the first floor and choose your preferred brands, returning them after use. Coffee and tea bags are also available for self-service on the first floor.

This hotel is quite mediocre and not worth over 500 a night. The twin beds are too narrow, and the in-room facilities are severely outdated. It's also a bit far from convenience stores, making it inconvenient for shopping.
