HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT
Room was clean as expected of most Japanese establishments. Staff was as friendly and accommodating as possible. The provided buffet was very delicious. The only knock is that the rooms are outdated. Regardless, clean room, hot showers and a bed by a bayside window is enough for any traveler.
