I stayed in over 50 hotels in Japan before and this was definitely my worse experience. The only good thing was its location opposite to Kintetsu Nara Station.
1. Check in time @ 4pm and Check out time @ 10am isn't exactly convenient compared to other Japanese chained hotels.
2. The front desk told me due to security reason (whatever..), they couldn't help me to keep something in their freezer and their attitude was highly unsympathetic. The staff just preferred to stick by the rules of Hotel and couldn't careless about the customer feelings. I had requested in other budget to luxury hotels to use their freezer and 99% of them was willing to help.
3. I wanted to leave one medium size suitcase at the hotel for 3-4 days, as I will be coming back for another night, Staff also said NO.
4. Due to delayed flight, I arrived very late in the next morning, Around 10am on the second day while I was sleeping, front desk woke me up saying housekeeping will have to clean my room as it wasn't clean yesterday (technically wrong), and due to "Security Reasons" again I cannot be in my room, told them repeatedly I was sleeping, but they insisted. Got so annoyed and just put down the phone.15 minutes later, woken up for the second time, and this time they said they don't have to clean my room. Honestly, in what hotel on this planet, the hotel will kick a customer out of their bed and room to do housekeeping even the customer refused repeatedly. OMG, how ridiculous can it get !!!!!!!!!
