Hotel AreaOne Okayama

It's near aeon and Donkihote and a few minutes from the station. I appreciated that they granted my request when I ask for a bright room.

Exceptional Service specially the staff

Right across the street from huge Aeon Mall and other shops with dinning all over out of the elements with under ground passage all the way to Shin Okayama Station and local JR train to Heritage Kurashiki Historic site. 20 minute walk to Castle and park . Hotel was clean but older and first impression at entrance was dead unkept plants and leaves off trees which ruined your mood every time you entered are exited. Outdated but clean facilities otherwise. Regular key to unlock room door which you had to turn in on leaving and pick up when returning to hotel each day.
