Hotel Areaone Tokai

Room furnishings are a little old. The closet door creaks etc. But the rooms are very well setup. Much more spacious than than other budget hotels I have stayed in. Breakfast buffet is awesome. It's about a 20min walk from Tokai station, and a 15min walk to the bus that goes to j-parc. So if you're visiting j-parc for work and the dorms are full, this is quite a reasonable option instead of staying far away in Mito hotels.

room is clean, friendly staff. stopover before heading to nikko np. very near to hitachi seaside park. there're free amenities, coffee and tea. buffet breakfast had good selection of choice.

Looks newly renovated even if building is old, great value for money hotel

Staff is very friendly. Free selfservice welcome drinks with small treats are nice after checking in. Also some toiletries and drinks offered at the reception (tea/coffee bags). Big parking space available at hotel. Breakfast for 800¥ p.p. was great for family, offering also some western style breakfast.
