First off, while the price might be normal for Tokyo, at over 2000 [currency, assuming JPY or equivalent], I could actually book a pretty decent hotel. After checking in, I noticed that to cut costs, the hotel doesn't even provide water in the rooms; guests have to go to a central dispenser. There's no bottled water in the room, and the fridge is empty. Another issue is the poor quality of breakfast. It's a semi-buffet with a set meal, but the semi-buffet part is really subpar, feeling very uninspired. Also, the hotel uses a semi-self check-in system. This chain seems to be cutting labor costs, as there's basically no service throughout the hotel. While they do offer some drinks and alcohol in the lobby at night, the timing is too short. It starts at 9 PM, so either you arrive too early and it hasn't started, or you come back too late and miss it. Honestly, I think such activities are better left undone if they're going to be so stingy. The hotel's location and cleanliness are acceptable, but if those are the only two positives, the lack of service really detracts from the experience.
