555MOTEL SHONAN

The price & location were good, if you don’t mind a 10 minute walk from either of 2 nearby stations but we were suspicious that it was a ‘love hotel’ as we left our bags for the afternoon. However we were concerned about our safety when the staff worker let us into the room saying that when we left the next day, we had to push a button and then leave the premises. It wasn’t clear to us that the door would be electronically locked and we were trapped inside all night and if we left, we couldn’t return. It was only lucky that we had takeaway food with us and there was a microwave in the room. Being locked in was the most worrying aspect and so I couldn’t recommend a stay there to anyone I know.
