Washington Plaza Hotels in Tokushima

The hotel is just located on the left side of the station. It’s really wonderful. There is also a convenience store located at the ground floor which also makes our lives so much easier. The room (Hollywood twin) is a large and spacious room that can easily accommodate the opening of 2 large suitcases (28 inch). The bathroom is also generous in space, and we could actually move around freely and change clothes in the toilet for once (as compared to other chain hotels in Japan). It has all the comforts and amenities of a proper graded hotel, but the air conditioning was poor. Opened the windows but still felt a little warm throughout the night. The other minor “issue” I observed was how they tried to “automate” the check-in which is a failure in my opinion. Automation is to reduce workflow/ manual work required by parties. However in this case, I had to go to the reception desk for them to make copies of our passport and issue a card (to be used at the check-in machine). Thereafter I have to walk to the machine and insert the card, press a bunch of buttons to be issued the room and room key. So from a customer perspective I’m actually troubled twice, because I need to make 2 stops before actually getting my room. So what’s the point of this check-in machine? Fail to see the benefits of it.

The Hotel is right on top of Japan Railway Tokushima Station and one minute walk from the main bus terminal in Tokushima, too. Very convenient not only to explore the city of Tokushima, but also to explore Tokushima's rich nature and culture, still hidden gem in Japan. Hotel was built about 30 years ago but it is well maintained and rooms are spacious compared with more recent ones. Hotel staffs are very courteous. It forms a part of the station building where you can find many restaurants with Japanese and local flavors as well as souvenir shops.

We stayed for two nights and we enjoyed it. Located across the Tokushima JR station and next to a few shopping areas, it's easily accessible. The hotel car park lot (self-park) is just next to the hotel building and the parking fee is 800yen (3pm to 11noon, just one-time entry) and you can pay the fee at the hotel reception. The room we have is deluxe double, double bed at East Annex. The room is clean and comfortable. Just like other Japanese downtown business hotels, the room is not big but we able to open up two suitcases and still have room to move around. Breakfasts have Western & Japanese choices and we especially love they included local food and cuisine. Public onsen is located at the 11/F and we enjoyed it too. Staff are friendly and speak okay English.

It is close to the station, so it is convenient for travel. In addition, the male staff at the front desk is also gentle and quick. The front desk who forgot to give the breakfast ticket, when I entered the room, there was already a room phone. I noticed that I forgot to give it immediately and contacted me. Breakfast is a Viking, but this is also a female staff who is very careful and cares. The porridge container was thick and could not be opened with bare hands. The staff opened and gave me porridge. And the breakfast buffet is delicious. I like the fried sirass porridge sanuki Udon pudding.

Use this hotel as an awa Odori viewing. The good bed is not normal and bad. Air conditioner display and room lamp display are English. Although it is an old facility, it is difficult to understand. Air conditioning setting, room lamp display, etc. There is a round table for one person and a long desk in the room. There is also a TV. There are charging cables corresponding to type C, and there is a 3-couple charging concept. There is also a mini refrigerator. Waowao can be watched for free. Single also spread with 17.6㎡. There is sandals. There is a closet storage. Hanger ３ book. There is a reset. It is a unit bus. The bathtub is not narrow. It is not as large as Prince Hotel. There is a suitcase place. A little small. There is an air cleaner. Bath towel and face towel thick. I thought this was like a princess hotel. There is a free drink in the lobby. Active is normal. Because there are some good people. There is a corridor on the second floor to cross the road, and there is no air conditioner there. It is not effective. There is a breakfast venue on the ２ floor at the end of the corridor. Breakfast is a Viking style. There is a corona countermeasure. There are many items. The taste is normal. About 1.7 km to awa Odori venue, Tokushima station. About 25 minutes walk. When you ask the lobby person about the means of transportation, the bus is in front of the next prefectural office, but one hour. It is said that everyone goes on foot because the taxi is also crowded. It came out at 17 o'clock in the middle of summer evening, but it is still hot. 1.7 km walk 25 minutes, sweat, duck! It is easy to be in a commercial facility called Amiko, but compared to the hotel near the liquid, it does not return to physical strength! So, after seeing the dance of the kusunoki beach, a little free dance hall, the ryokokubashi dance hall? Small dance hall? I walked around the awa dance pedestrian heaven area and walked through it! If you proposed a taxi near the station, I saw it better! The traffic regulation was from 18 o'clock, so it was not crowded even in the taxi at 17 o'clock. I feel the shallowness of the response of the lobby. I think it was a mess. No. I felt like a hotel that strongly sought efficiency, but I think it was shallow. I feel the danger of our hotel in the staff consciousness that it is normal to walk 25 minutes in midsummer. If you go to awa Odori, you don't know, but you may use smile hotel Tokushima and so on. Can I park at the hotel in front of the station this time? I was worried. This hotel was about ２００ planes and three-dimensional, and it was free. It is a thought and trouble.

If you stay separately from an old inn, the room is large, affordable, with a large bath, fresh flowers, and well cleaned, which is very good. I also like the atmosphere of the landlady. Since it is an old inn, it smells a little cigarette, the corridors are dim, and the carpets are peeled off. However, considering this size and degree of freedom, I think it is more than the price. It's about an annex, so I wonder if there used to be a main building.

I made a reservation because I wanted to stay the night after the drinking party. The room on the first floor was clean and comfortable. I was disappointed that I only used the sauna in the large public bath in the morning, but the sauna was large and comfortable. The room is generally quiet, but early in the morning I heard a popping sound coming from somewhere and it bothered me and I couldn't sleep. It was convenient to be able to go in and out as I wanted with a room card, and I wanted to make the most of my time.

It was very convenient from the hotel and the hyotan cruise stop and the Tokushima Park when crossing the road diagonally from the station. The local Toyoko inn has a cheap image that is sorry, but it was the first day of the three consecutive holidays at 6300 yen, so it is convincing to say that it is convincing, but it is high.

It was the first time to stay in Tokushima. There was no land insight from the station, but it was a distance that could walk without difficulty compared to Google maps and map signboards in front of the station. The walk from the station was comfortable. The view across the bridge, the red leaves of the Mt. Meiyama ropeway, the awa dance hall, the arcade street, etc. It is a place that I couldn't experience if it was a bus or a taxi. The inn is Toyoko inn, so it doesn't expect excessively, polite and wasteless, and feels comfortable. The front desk staff was very kind and the sensitivity was super up! The rooms were larger than I thought. It feels like you can reach itchy places such as outlet arrangement and table. Amenities such as gowns and shaver are not available in the room and please bring them from the lobby waki. Breakfast is in the lobby as it is. It was crowded, but I was able to take a lot of salad and it was a good experience (in the city of night, there are not many choices of meals, the station and downtown are smelly of cigarettes and can't stay long) I couldn't eat it. Very comfortable, the cospa was excellent, a good place.
