Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Higashiguchi

Best place to stay, very very near to station

The hotel is just right next to the Yokohama station but you might still need to remember the exit as its a huge station. Like most of the business hotel in Japan, it provides a variety of amenities so you can just stay with you passport and clothes. Great receptionist manner.

A few minutes walk to the Yokohama station. Some rooms on higher floors are able to see Mt. Fuji on sunny days.

The facilities at Sotetsu Fresa Inn were clean and left nothing more to be desired. For some foreigners, the room might be a tad small, but they have all the necessary qualities for a functional hotel. For people from North America who have laptops with three-pronged plugs, it is recommended you have an adapter on hand as, like many places in Japan, there is a stark lack of outlets with the third hole necessary for such plugs. In regards to the breakfast offered, while the options are limited, the breakfast itself is of reasonable quality. It is worth noting, however, that there are no vegan options as far as I could discern among the selection so vegans should keep that in mind. As for the location, the hotel is in close proximity to Yokohama Station which allows access to a multitude of lines to carry you to myriad desinations. This, however, is counterbalanced by the fact that the trains can be heard from the hotel room, making it perhaps unsuitable for light sleepers that are disturbed by the subtlest noise. For train enthusiasts, though, the sight from the hotel window of the trains passing by should a treat as such a view would seem rather difficult to come by. Overall, the hotel experience was beyond satisfactory and I would definitely consider staying there again were I in the Kanagawa area.

Very good location and short walk to JR station. Room is clean and nice has a convenient store just downstairs

The hotel is new but not super clean, found some hair in the bathroom.
