"A bit hard to find. Their lobby is on 2nd floor, 1st floor is connected to the parking lot with a moderate noticeable sign buried along all the other shops around. Also partly due to construction around the area depending on which exact station/exit you can coming from
Check-in / check-out is self-service. you need to put in address and phone number in this system (pick a random one if you don't have a jp address). Card key required to access other floors.
They have a library cafe on the same level of lobby, can be used for free drinks/snacks from 10 - 24 (after paid breakfast service). Even during breakfast time (6:30AM ~) you can use coffee / hot water / microwave in this cafe for free (tell the staff that you just need these service). No microwave on other floors, or in the room.
Same lobby offers free luggage storage racks with locks, all self service, even after checkout. Very helpful if you have a late flight leaving Kobe and want to check around more."
