Grand Park Hotel Excel Fukushima Ebisu

Although the discount was conditional, the original rates were not high, and breakfast was included, so it felt like a great value. The Room key used a key-lock system, so it may not be new, but everything was kept clean and tidy, and the front desk staff were pleasant and helpful.

I stayed here because I wanted to try the round gyoza dumplings. The Hotel itself is old, but it was well cleaned and I had a comfortable stay. There are no amenities in the Room; you can pick up a toothbrush set and body sponge at the front desk, and female guests can also receive a skincare set. The TV also supports YouTube and Amazon Prime (a big plus!). I slept well thanks to the bed pad recommended by the Hotel. The only downside was the shower—the temperature kept changing between hot and lukewarm, making it hard to adjust. There was also an Onsen, but it only has three seats, and you need to pick up a key at the front desk to use it, so I didn’t bother. Breakfast didn’t have a wide variety of items, but I was happy to enjoy local specialties such as kozuyu soup and radium Onsen eggs.
