Find 3-Star Hotels in Shimoda

"The room was surprisingly large in Japan, probably because it's a Japanese-style tatami room, with room for multiple tatami mats. Room: Spacious enough, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the ocean and park, a real plus. The door opens with a key, and if it's unlocked, it can be opened from the outside, so be mindful of safety. Access: Near the Kaiyu Park-mae bus stop, but the bus only runs a few times a day and there's no shuttle. Alternatively, you can walk to Shimoda Station, which is about a 20-minute walk along the national highway. At night, it's dark and unlit, so be mindful of traffic. Surroundings: 7-Eleven and Sukiya are both within walking distance, making it convenient for stocking up. There's a park downstairs with a beautiful lawn, perfect for taking photos. Facilities: This is quite old, so the facilities are only average. There's no Wi-Fi in the rooms, but there is in the common areas. Since there's no Wi-Fi, the TV doesn't have internet access, so it's basically unusable. The hot water takes a while to come on, and the bathroom is a pure Japanese design, with a low showerhead and a small bathtub that requires a small stool for washing. Whether you like it or not depends on personal preference. Onsen: There are large, indoor baths with separate men's and women's baths. There are windows overlooking the outside, but the view isn't very clear. The water quality feels similar to hot springs in China. There are two massagers, which I tried and found to be more comfortable than those in China, providing some relief."

"Everything else was fine, except the cell phone and Wi-Fi signals were terrible. The landlady was very welcoming. There was no bathroom in the room; you had to use the common area in the hallway. You need a taxi to get there; it costs 1700 yen one way from the station to the hotel during the day. I don't recommend walking around at night or early morning because of the wildlife. Overall, Bali was a nice place."
