The Richmond Bashamichi is an adequate hotel. Good location, for sure. Nice breakfast. Very clean and well maintained. I had to take a smoking room when I reserved and they did manage to find me a non-smoking room upon check in, but it was a day-by-day chore. The smoking rooms smell bad, so I do not suggest taking the risk, if you do not smoke. The rooms are small and, for a stay of 6 nights, the room was too small. I reserved and paid more for a standard double room and upon check-in they wanted me to take a lesser room with a single bed. I had paid for the larger bed, so I insisted. Many of the desk staff speak little or no English. I requested a 30-40 minute late check out and was informed that it was possible, but I would be charged per hour. At $225 for the previous night, I thought that an extra 30-40 minutes should have been allowed.
