Residences in Shozu District

"The front desk receptionist was kind and courteous, accommodating my request for a bigger room. In the past, there was always someone who led us to the room with suitcases, but this year, evidently, they stopped doing it. We proceeded to our room alone without any staff showing us the way. It does not matter to me, but, I think this is their cost-cutting measure."

"I’ve stayed at JR Clemens Hotel four times through the years, and the hotel keeps getting better! The staff spoke okay English during check-in, it was easy to buy (excellent!) breakfast for just one of our days and the room was fresh and suited our needs perfectly. We had some kind of deluxe standard room with great beds, okay amount of space and good tea and coffee. Only downside was that we only were on the seventh floor and thus did not get one of the amazing view that you can get if you are higher up. I would like to add that the breakfast was the best ones I have had in Japan, and that it has improved a lot during recent years. I am a vegetarian and could more than eat my fill. Especially appreciated the varm pancakes and the soft serve ice cream. The hotel lacks any kind of onsen, which I would say is the only thing missing right now for a truly outstanding experience."

"Close to station and close to all attractions. Staff are very helpful, breakfast was good. "

"Early 2:00 check-in. "

"Super location next to Shin Okayama! Room was spacious, clean and comfortable beds. Good dinner options nearby and good breakfast included in rate! "

"All good bar the hotel guests having to check themselves in a computerised check machines. This merely confuses, delays and annoys customers in equal measure. Big rooms for a single Japanese hotel. Well thought. Good breakast. Easy to find from the JR station."

"My husband and I stayed at Mitsui Garden Hotel Okayama for one night between two parts of our trip near the Seto Inland Sea. The hotel is conveniently located near the city’s JR station and within walking distance of urban landmarks like Okayama Castle. It was clean and comfortable, and the staff were excellent — they even brought our takkyubin luggage to our room so it was waiting upon our arrival. The breakfast buffet offered a mix of regional, Japanese, and Western dishes, and it was the best breakfast we had during our trip to Japan."

"Lots of variety Fresh tempura. Three varieties of sannuko udon . Salad lots of fresh milk and juice Nice open air bath "

"Basement hot tub/sauna was a great amenity. Very walkable to city’s Bikran Historical District. Easy access to train station & wonderful nearby market."
