Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Good"

"Excellent location just a block behind the train/bus station. Free buffet breakfast that was actually good and varied each day. Free drinks throughout the rest of the day, including filtered water and hot drink machine. Downstairs common area is relaxing and well maintained. Room was large for Japan. You could comfortably open suitcases and still have room to walk around. Beds are also larger than other hotels. We booked 2 twin beds and they were also similar to a double size. Pillows are very flat though. "

"Great location!"

"Fastest elevator I've come across! My room was on the 39th floor..but it felt like i was on the 5th. Great view! The beds are firm. Just nice. I'll return. "

"This was just a quick stop on a long trip. It has a lot of potential if the staff, AC or central/fan system worked, and better amenities. the room was large and dirty, set up like a party room. So much more can be done to the interior decor to one account for the cost and the location, even if it is just to sleep. The shower area was way too large with some much open space can fit the offense of a football team in it, but the tub (shower/tub in one) was nothing fancy nor large. Very little hanging and storage space for the size of the room but it was just a one night stay. "

"The property was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The only complaint is that check-in is on the second floor without an elevator till you check-in. Would stay here again!"

"Close to train station, extremely clean, very nice breakfast, comfortable bed, room quite small"
