Tokyu Stay Hakata
Room was ok size but still a bit tight for us to move around. I appreciated the laundry machine in the room, which made it so much more convenient and was a super plus feature (whereas other hotels are shared laundry). The hotel is clean and the free beverages were nice. I just didn’t like the location ...
