Suica Hotel & Resort

I arrived very late at night and became wary upon viewing the surroundings of the hotel. It was extremely dark outside, and around the hotel were many vacant lots. Inside the hotel was dark as well which made me nervous. I was thinking that this might not be a good place to stay. The person at the front desk was very pleasant during the check in process. There is no elevator so I had to walk up a series of four or five giant ramps to get the the fourth floor. This might be a problem for the elderly. As I was walking up to my room I was still concerned at how dark the hotel was. I felt like I was in an abandoned hotel in a horror movie. The hallway to my room was pitch black but as I approached the door automatic lights turned on. I opened the door to my room and was surprised that the lights would not turn on. I went back down to ask the the front desk for help. He showed me that I had to put the room card in the slot for the electricity to work. I'm from the USA and had never seen anything like that. Throughout the hotel they have the lights come on when they sense movement which is good for saving electricity but does not create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. I also had trouble figuring out the shower because there were four knobs/handles. Being from the USA I've only ever seen two in a shower. I was trying to get hot water but ended up shutting off all the water to the room! I later found out that two of those knobs controls the water for everything in the room. I'm not sure whether the walls are thin or the guests are just extremely loud, but be prepared to hear a lot of noise from the pool and the hotel inside your room. Breakfast and dinner are included and delicious! TV and wifi reception is not great. Hotel staff extremely helpful and friendly. I didn't check out the areas close by the hotel because there didn't seem to be anything to do and I wasn't sure how safe it was. Finalizing my review, in spite of my initial concern this hotel is a safe and clean place to stay.
