Recently, I stayed at 358 Umi Hotel during a short stay in a coastal city. The three-day experience was generally stable and comfortable. As an accommodation option that combines vacation and light business, its location and detailed design are worth sharing.
**Geographical location: convenient and quiet by the sea**
The hotel is located at the starting point of the coastal plank road. It only takes 3 minutes to walk to the beach. When the tide is low, you can go to the sea and pick shells directly from the back door of the hotel. Although it is not directly adjacent to the city center, the free shuttle bus every 15 minutes at the door can go directly to the subway station and the commercial district, taking into account the tranquility of vacation and the efficiency of travel. It is especially suitable for families with children-the route of returning to the room to wash the sand after going to the sea in the morning is extremely smooth.
**Room experience: pragmatism and nature fusion**
The booked sea view balcony room is about 30 square meters, and the original wood furniture and light gray fabrics are matched with a simple texture. The sliding door partition cleverly separates the rest area and the office area. The balcony floor-to-ceiling window is equipped with an electric blackout curtain, so you can lie down and watch the sunrise on the sea in the morning. The bathroom is made of frosted glass and stone, and the supplies are local plant essential oil brands with a light fragrance. The daily replenished drinking water is packaged in biodegradable paper boxes, and the environmental protection details add points.
**Service highlights: flexible penetration of local culture**
The front desk staff knows the surrounding ecological guide routes like the back of their hands, and proactively provides hand-painted tide timetables and parent-child sea-hunting tool kits (deposit required). One day, the shower floor drain was slightly stagnant, and the engineering staff arrived within 5 minutes to solve it. When leaving the room, they also adjusted the air-conditioning wind direction. During breakfast, the waiter will quietly remind guests to pick up the meal route to avoid crowds, and the order management can be seen with care.
**Supporting facilities: light vacation scene adaptation**
- **Dining**: The all-day restaurant features "small-portion" seafood bowls. The tuna belly and sea urchin are fresh. Although they are not top-notch ingredients, they are reasonably priced. The lobby bar at night provides local craft beer tasting sets, which can be paired with cheese platters as a midnight snack.
- **Leisure**: Although the infinity pool on the top floor is limited in area, the experience of booking it during off-peak hours is excellent; the children's activity room is equipped with ocean-themed picture books and Lego walls, which has a significant effect of liberating parents.
- **Environmental practice**: The guest rooms use electronic room cards and paperless service guides, the garbage classification area is equipped with Chinese, English and Japanese illustrations, and the laundry room uses biodegradable detergents.
**Transitional experience with flaws that do not cover merits**
The hotel does not have luxurious facilities, but it has implemented the three labels of "sea-friendly, environmentally friendly, and parent-child friendly" in a solid manner. Although details such as the number of bedding and the size of the swimming pool do not meet the standards of high-end resorts, the cost-effectiveness is outstanding among competing products at the same price. Recommended for family tourists who pursue natural experiences, small conference teams, or guests who focus on sustainable travel. The shell commemorative keychain given when leaving the hotel has become a light footnote to this seaside time.
