Lapan Mihama Residence Hotel

Excellent location and abundant water.

The location was outstanding, with plenty of shopping and dining options within walking distance, and it was also convenient for traveling by car. The room was spotlessly clean without a speck of dust. It felt more compact than I had imagined, but since we stayed as three people in a 2LDK, it was a very comfortable size. Personally, I think it might be a bit cramped for six adults, which is the maximum capacity. (I recommend a 3LDK!) Each bedroom had a bed of different sizes, and the mattress firmness was just right, making for a very comfortable sleep. Being in the city, the view from the window wasn't the best, but at night, you could see the lights of the American Village from the balcony, and during the day, it was in a perfect position to see the course where military jets flew during training, making it feel like an air show. It seems to happen irregularly, and we encountered it only once during our five-day stay on a weekday. It lasted for nearly an hour from around 9 a.m., so it might not be favorable for those who dislike the roar of jet engines. There is no towel exchange or cleaning service during the stay, but there was a washing machine and a gas dryer (which dries well) and a vacuum cleaner in the room, so we could use them whenever we wanted without any inconvenience. It might be more convenient if there were ropes or something to hang laundry in the bathroom. Although it was along a busy road, the noise was hardly noticeable. The only thing that bothered me was that the people staying in the room above seemed to spend time in the living room late at night, and the sound of dragging chairs was noisy. We could hardly hear voices, and if they lifted the chairs to move them, it wouldn't be a problem, but it seemed like they had a habit of dragging them while seated, and the sound echoed even on the bedroom ceiling, surprising us each time. As an improvement suggestion, I think it would be sufficient to cover the legs of the chairs and tables. What we found most useful was the water dispenser installed in the room. Even though there was a convenience store right in front, the convenience of having cold and hot water available in the room at any time was impressive. Especially for us tourists not accustomed to the hot climate, being able to carry as much water or tea as we wanted in a bottle when going out, without the hassle of carrying plastic bottles or generating recycling waste, was a wonderful service that was kind to both people and the environment. I highly recommend it not only for sightseeing but especially for those staying long-term, such as for workations. I would definitely like to use it again if I have the opportunity.
