Hotel Okura Fukuoka

The staff were consistently helpful and attentive.

The room could use a do over. Everything was old and slightly worn. Worst of all, it was cluttered: it was as if the hotel was so busy trying to provide for every contingency, filling every empty space with something that might be useful to someone, sometime, that they forgot to leave room for the guests’ own belongings. Literally, I had a square foot of space on the 8 foot sink counter for my toiletries,etc. The bathroom was very old fashioned and reminded me of those I came across in Japan 15 years ago. A common complaint in earlier reviews I’d read on several sites, which the management continues to ignore, is that breakfast is served cold. Not room temperature: ice cold. Eggs Benedict should not be cold, nor should the Hollandaise be gelid. The Western buffet selections were severely limited, so unless you’re an adventurous eater, and don’t mind fish and soup for breakfast, you might best look for some place in the area to have breakfast.
