Hakkodamaru Memorial Ship

If you've stayed at an APA hotel before then you know what to expect (ie. small room, big TV), so I'll just skip to what stood out to me during this trip. **Positives: *Front desk was exceptionally helpful during check-in, streamlining the process. *Electrical outlets on either side of the bed kept me from running a power cable across the bed diagonally or sleeping at an angle, or something goofy like that. *The AC was highly effective, which is always welcome. When it's July, I'd rather have it get a bit chilly than be stuck somewhere where it's too warm. *I plugged my Switch in the TV and played it with no issues. *The bathroom was comfortable, the shower was nice. *A self-serve mini-conbini in the lobby, like at the Ayase location in Tokyo! Fun. I didn't use it, but had a stayed longer, I may have. **Neutral: *I only stayed here a single night so I didn't look into the laundry or vending machine offerings. **Negatives: *This was a REALLY narrow room; I basically sidled in-between the desk and the bed. It made doing Fitness Boxing 3 pretty awkward, but I managed.

The staff were helpful, and the breakfast buffet offered both Japanese and Western-style options, which was a nice touch. This hotel is a good choice for a one-night stay after sightseeing or a business trip. The building felt a bit old, and our room was a bit dark, so I took one star off. however, the bed was large and comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. Overall, it was a good hotel.
