KOKO HOTEL Premier Kumamoto
Spending more time traveling up and down escalators. Since there is no drop-off for the hotel itself we had to park our car for 1 hour just for dropping off the baggage. Room is smaller than expected and there is no room to open baggage.

Kumamoto Hotel Castle
Dirty carpet, room too hot and no cooling function for air conditioner. Definitely need refurbishment.
