Toyoko Inn Kokura-eki Minami-guchi

Reasonable room size, clean, great location

Very friendly staff

I understand that the property uses an automated check-in system, but when I arrived at the hotel there was nobody except me for check-in. I would have appreciated that the staff at the front desk, doing nothing in particular, instead of asking me to use the check-in machine, would have helped me for check-in and done it at the counter as it used to be done. I find very unfortunate to have to use such machine, which is only convenient for the hotel but not for the customer as it is time-demanding to register all personal information. Having people dealing with customers for such service is more human and more friendly. We are not robots.

A friend came to pick us up and drop us off so transportation was not a problem. Not crowded and thankfully not too many tourists. It looked like more working people stayed there.

This hotel located near the station and close to restaurants. Breakfast was delicious.
