Chiba City Hotels with Free Breakfast

I booked this hotel for an event at Makuhari Messe. While it's not as close as the APA by Kaihin-Makuhari, the rooms, facilities, and comfort here are superior. It's just a 1-minute walk from Makuhari Toyosuna Station on the Keiyo Line. This is both a pro and a con: Makuhari Toyosuna is a small station, so the rapid Keiyo Line trains don't stop there. Plus, with the Keiyo Line's 10-minute intervals between trains, you spend quite a bit of time waiting, whether you're going to or from central Tokyo or Kaihin-Makuhari. Next to the hotel, there's a huge Aeon mall and a Costco, and a New Days convenience store downstairs. Other than that, there's nothing else nearby, so if you're returning late, I'd recommend eating out beforehand. The room facilities are very new. The hairdryer and air purifier are both Dyson. The bathroom is unlike traditional Japanese business hotels; the shower area and bathtub are very spacious. The lobby also offers various bath salts for guests to take. I forgot to take photos of the room, but you can find reviews of this hotel by Japanese YouTubers, including room tours. Overall, I've had many great experiences staying at JR East hotels in Japan, and this one is no exception. Highly recommended.

It was my child's birthday during our stay, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared a handwritten congratulatory card ❤️. The third floor has a public bath, a sauna, and complimentary cold drinks, which my child absolutely loved! On the first floor, kids can pick up their own pajamas, and every evening on the second floor, the hotel provides congee with various toppings that you can add yourself – it was so satisfying. Our stay was fantastic! We'll definitely be back if we have the chance.

The bathroom has a separate toilet, shower, and sink, and the room is quite spacious with everything feeling brand new. On the top floor (14th), there are six washer-dryer combos. You can pay 600 yen for 1.5 hours of washing and drying by scanning a QR code after downloading their dedicated app. The hotel is very close to Kaihin-Makuhari Station, and it's just one JR Keiyo Line ride to Maihama Station for Disney. To get to ZOZO Marine Stadium, it's about a 20-minute walk. If there's a direct shuttle bus, you can walk through the outlet mall to the bus stop and wait for it there. There's a highway bus to Narita Airport from bus stop #3, which is less than a five-minute walk away. The earliest bus departs at 6:25 AM. You can't buy tickets in advance; you just tap your transportation card or pay cash on board. The earliest bus usually has plenty of empty seats, so no need to worry about not getting a spot. It arrived at Narita Airport Terminal 2 just after 7 AM. Overall, the experience was great, and I would definitely consider this hotel again if I come to ZOZO next time 👍🏻

Location was great! right by the west exit for JR Chiba station - very luggage friendly station as well a 24hr Lawson right outside the 2nd floor entrance and a 7/11 down on the ground floor. Staff were polite, easy self storage for luggage by the check in area. Self check in was great, amenities and robes by the elevator before heading up and overall loation is perfect for sightseeing and oneward travels to and from Narita airport or into Tokyo.

This hotel is at a great location n if u self drive, offers the best value as parking is only at 1000yen per day, which will easily connect you to everywhere. Train station is right below the hotel n connection is great. I’ll not stay in Shinjuku or Shibuya anymore as there is practically everything here shopping wise, with 3 outlets within 30-60 mins drive. Breakfast is ok considering the price but has some western n jap selection. All in all will definitely come back!

I chose this hotel specifically because of its long history, and it absolutely lived up to expectations! The lobby, corridors, elevators, and rooms all exude a grand 90s style, and the room doors even retain the old-fashioned key entry. My room also had a walk-out balcony with panoramic city views. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Kaihin-Makuhari Station. Around the station, there are many restaurants, and an outlet mall on one side. On the other side of the hotel, there's even a Sushiro. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and they offer luggage storage. The only minor drawback is that some of the authentic vintage fixtures, like the faucets, were a bit difficult to use. Also, the hotel follows environmental regulations, so they don't offer full daily room cleaning.

Service from the staff was nice.. facilities was okay.. location was near the train station.. we didnt like the vibe of the area especially at night.. felt like the security in the area was very very poor. there are always a lot people camping around from the train station all the way to the hotel, trying to prey on people who are alone. they are always staring at me and my husband everytime we walk back from the train station. during our 1st night stay, my husband went down to the nearby combini alone and an obaasan kept following him asking if he wants massage service from hotel to combini and back to the hotel. then another night, we saw 1 girl got cornered by a group of guys while walking back to the hotel. she was obviously distressed but we are couldnt do anything since we are outnumbered. we didnt want to get into trouble so we can only walk away with guilt as fast as we could back to the hotel. drunk people everywhere. no police in sight during the few nights we were there as well. overall, definitely no issue with the hotel but we will not return to Chiba again.

I was extremely satisfied with my stay at this hotel. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and a sleeping gown was provided during my stay which was a nice touch. The front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more pleasant. The hotel’s location is very convenient and easy to find, just a short walk after exiting the station.There is also a direct train from Chibaminato Station to Tokyo Station via the Keiyo Line, which makes traveling very convenient. Livemax Hotels and Resorts maintains a consistent standard of cleanliness and comfort. I also stayed in Kannai-Ekimae branch, which was equally clean and comfortable. Overall, I am very happy with my stays at both Livemax locations. The hotels are highly recommended, especially for travelers looking for budget-friendly accommodations. Additionally, for a small extra fee of ¥1,000, guests can extend their stay until 12:00 PM, which is an excellent value.

This trip was to watch a VNL game. Since the venue was Chiba Port Stadium, I used JR Chiba Station as my search point. When looking for accommodation, I noticed that rooms in Tokyo within my budget were generally small. The rooms at this hotel were quite different in size. Reviews mentioned the hotel's facilities were geared towards a ”love hotel” atmosphere, so although I was a little hesitant, I booked it anyway because I had a companion. Upon checking in, I found the room to be incredibly spacious. The bathroom was separate from the toilet, and the bathtub was large enough to lie down in. There was a dressing area next to the sink. The bedroom, besides the bed, also had a small living room. Two suitcases could be easily opened. In addition to the room amenities, the hotel lobby offered many supplies (different brands of shampoo, bath salts, and basic skincare products), simple snacks, and red and white wine (though I didn't try them, so I don't know how they tasted). The posters also showed some free facilities that could be reserved (rock bath, karaoke, etc.), but we didn't use them, so I don't know how they were. Breakfast was included, and it was quite delicious. Overall, the stay was very comfortable, and it's very close to Chiba Chuo Station on the Keisei Electric Railway, making transfers to Tokyo convenient. Now that I've covered the pros, let's talk about the cons 😆 First, judging from the room's amenities, it really feels like a Japanese ”love hotel.” There are sheer curtains on the bedside pillars that can be lowered (like a princess bed?), and the bedroom and bathroom lights can be adjusted (for ambiance?). Balinese-style music plays throughout the hotel, which is in comparison to other hotels I've stayed at. The biggest drawback is that at night, the entire street outside the hotel is lined with male escorts. Although they know we're foreigners and won't bother us, having to navigate through them to get to convenience stores and shops near the station still felt quite stressful. If you're a solo female traveler planning to stay at this hotel, please definitely consider this factor.

The hygiene was great. I booked a twin room, and the two beds were pushed very close together. The surrounding transportation is very convenient, with a subway and bus station just a 3-minute walk to the hotel. There are many convenience stores, restaurants, and shopping malls nearby. The environment is also very quiet. It's a shame the room was small. The hotel provides disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and slippers. Cleaning is done every three days.
