Shinjuku East Hotel

"Retro Love Hotel that has been converted to a tourist spot.\n\nPros\n- Larger rooms\n- Good price for the area\n- Big bathroom\n- Separate area for bathroom vanity.\n- AC\n- Windows that open completely\n- TV\n- Fridge\n- Flexible with cleaning they can do it almost anytime in the daytime (surprisingly this is an issue for business hotels)\n\nCons\n- A bit of a walk from the action (can be a good or bad thing)\n- Same for the trains etc\n- Wifi is very unstable\n- Vanity mirror is very low\n- You have to leave your room key every time you leave\n- Weird rules about bringing guests (Maybe a hangover from the Love Hotel days)."

"Motel near Higashi-Shinjuku Station that allows smoking.\nIt is cheaper than other accommodations nearby and the rooms are quite large.\nThere is still room to spread out two carry-on suitcases on the floor.\n\nIt smells a lot of cigarette smoke, but it depends on the room. If you request deodorant, you can borrow it, but it seems like you can get rid of it with sufficient ventilation and deodorization management. Ventilation does not seem to be working properly.\n\nThe air conditioner blows very weak air and is full of dust inside.\nThere are no insect screens on the windows. It's like the picture, but it seems like a man can easily get in and out. It's so close to the rooftop of the building opposite, so people who are good at sports might be able to skip it. Be sure to use insect screens for ventilation and safety! Installation is required.\nWhen covering a window with a curtain, both ends are not completely covered. So when the sun rises at dawn, strong sunlight shines through the gap onto the bed, making it uncomfortable.\n\nThe bathroom has a bathroom (shower room), sink, and toilet all separated. All basic amenities were provided, and for some reason there was only one shower towel (sponge).\nThe toothbrush has a different color so you can distinguish one from the other, but the bristles are very stiff, which is not good. While brushing my teeth, my gums hurt and I noticed they were bleeding. It is said that the same thing has already happened to the group. You need to change to something softer.\n\nThere is a small refrigerator but no water. There are 6 cups, 2 each of mug, porcelain, and glass.\n\nThere are Japanese supermarkets called My Basket and Maretsu 5 minutes away. There are no large supermarkets in Shinjuku and Shibuya, so excluding department stores, Maretsu is likely to be the largest supermarket in the area. It would be a good idea for people who prefer shopping at large supermarkets rather than tourist drug stores or Don Quijote to take a look. Some are more expensive, but most are cheaper."
