Hotel the Scene
Staying at this hotel felt like stepping into a romantic, intimate retreat—definitely has that 'love hotel' vibe. Located in Yokohama, it's convenient for exploring the city, but parking is a bit tricky: the multi-level garage requires you to go up to the second floor front desk every time you pick up or drop off your car. Unfortunately, there’s no elevator from the first to the second floor—just stairs—which can be a hassle if you're carrying luggage or not feeling too mobile. The air conditioning in the room isn’t super strong, so cooling down during warmer days might require some patience. One unique feature is the automatic door lock: you need to inform the front desk of your room number to get back in, which adds a layer of privacy and security. On the bright side, the free snacks and drinks are plentiful and well-stocked—perfect for a late-night treat or a quick refreshment. Overall, while not perfect, the quirky charm and thoughtful touches make it a memorable stay, especially if you value privacy and a personalized experience.
