Monterey Hotels in Fukuoka

Hotel is about 5 mins walking distance from Watanabe-Dori Station. The room was spacious. A couple of convenient stores can be found in vicinity of the hotel. Not too far from the busy Tenjin shopping district. It is also close to Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station, for those intended to travel to Dazaifu or Yanagawa. Breakfast, laundry, vending machine, ice machine available.

I booked two rooms, and while their sizes varied, they were both larger than typical city hotel rooms. I requested a high floor, which wasn't granted, but that's okay. However, the rooms faced the messy buildings behind the hotel, which made for a poor view. There was a lot of dust on the bedside tables, which I hope can be improved. There's a large public bath on the third floor, but I didn't get to experience it because of the long lines to get in when it was busy.

I stayed at this hotel in the hottest part of July. Its location near Tenjin Station is excellent, and the famous Full Full bakery is also nearby and not too crowded. There's also a 7-Eleven downstairs. The breakfast looked pretty ordinary, so I didn't order it. The front desk offered DHC skincare samples, including sunscreen. The room was quite small; I could barely open my 24-inch suitcase. It's definitely a size meant for one person, but it was decent. The bathroom was a pre-fabricated unit. Overall, I was quite satisfied because the location is truly fantastic. I might even stay here again next time, but there are some noticeable drawbacks. Downsides: 1. They only provide one bottle of water per day. One time when I went to the front desk to ask for more water, they actually told me there was already water in the room. If a guest asks for something, the staff should just provide it. How can they refuse? Is one bottle really enough in such hot weather? They should give an extra bottle. 2. The room only has two-prong outlets, so three-prong plugs couldn't be used, which meant some of my devices couldn't be charged.
