HOTEL R9 The Yard Utsunomiya chuo

THe staff at check in was extremely pleasant, friendly, and helpful. Check in was a breeze. Laundry room is right at the front of the property and very easy to use. You pay for whatever amount of laundry you have, push a button, and it automatically adds detergent, washes, and dries without you doing anything. The free microwaveable meal they include was pretty tasty. Room was almost like a typical business hotel in Japan. Very quiet and you don't notice that you're in a container.
