Nishitetsu Resort Inn Naha

As a rather typical Japanese business hotel this establishment scores well. It is relatively new, nicely decorated and well run. If you know what to expect, you will not be disappointed. Location is a major positive, a stone throw from monorail station. Breakfast is nothing to write home about, but it is plentiful and does the job. Cleanliness and staff are kept to Japanese standards, so they are top class across the board. Rooms are what one expects them to be in such hotel. The size is just a little more than a post stamp but they are functional and well equipped. Bed is reasonably comfortable. Nice addition is the provided smartphone "handy". You can use it for all you need during your stay, in and of hotel. It comes preloaded with useful apps and local guides. There are some limitations to its use, but still it is very very handy, as the name advertises.

One inconvenience is the insufficient space to store your stuff in the room. Other hotel chains in Japan have came with ingenious ways for organizing small room space so that the are some drawers, mini-closets and niches to store your suitcase out of the way. In this hotel it is just a small niche buy the door with couple of hangers. I had to constantly remind myself to watch out, otherwise I would bump into my luggage, probably hurting my shin.
