Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel
Room is clean. The issue is with the checking process. The staff did not offer any information about the property. There is a shuttle bus available but the staff has ever given us any information. The staff has no facial expression and seems unhappy in everything.

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
The spa and sauna was the highlight of the hotel. The 7 Eleven within the hotel was super convenient. The buffet breakfast was a little disappointing. There was many options ans the food was quite average considering how much you pay.
