Ushima hotels from HK$217

"**The positives: *It was an easy stay, with low-stress check-in and check-out, no 'vacate the room so we can clean,' and a vending machine and shelves of manga on the first floor. *I was able to open the window far enough to stick my head out and get a breath of fresh air, which was nice. *The coin laundry machines got the job done: 2.5hrs, 600 yen, clean and dry clothes.👍 **Neutral: *There was construction going on, but aside from a bit of occasional noise during the day, it was a non-factor. **The negatives: *When I arrived, the room had some REALLY dusty spots, like behind the TV and on top of the mini-fridge. As in, 'years and years of accumulated dust.' I get that those places aren't often looked at by customers, but how hard is to clean them once every few months? c'mon now. *The room and the bathroom felt pretty dated, but everything worked, I suppose. *The bathroom had some mold/mildew along the grout, although a bit of airing out the room helped that a lot. You might try that: Open the window and the door at the same time for 5-10 minutes while you're cleaning it. (...which seemed to be something you haven't done any time lately.) *The laundry room wasn't just dusty....it was kinda filthy. ugh. Someone clean those carpets, please."

"This was a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful location. A Great combination of mountains and ocean. The house was very clean, neat, and tidy. Towels, laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, and shower products are provided. While this is a compact Japanese house, it felt very spacious to me. A nicely appointed kitchen, clothes washer and dryer, a big TV with sound bar, and multiple places to sit and enjoy the great views. There are a few things to keep in mind to ensure this property is a good fit. The drive to this location is about 45 minutes from Iwakuni. I felt it was a pleasant drive, but traffic gets tight during rush hours. The road leading to the house from the main road is steep, single-lane, and winding. Use a low gear and go slowly the first few times, and things will be fine. I think it would be best to arrive the first time during the day to get accustomed to the drive. Parking was not an issue for me as other reviews have noted. There are two spots close to the property stairs and a larger parking area about 100 feet away. "
