Sotetsu Fresa Inn Osaka-Yodoyabashi

The hotel is clean and neat. Service is good. We arrived early and it was rain around noon. The coffee machine is covered. I ask if we can check in early. They said we can check in one hour early at 2:00pm and didn't mention we need to pay extra. After we checked in and got 3 rooms' cards, They told us we need to pay 3000 Japanese Yuan for 3 rooms, one hour per 1000 Yuan extra. That's fine. But if they have had told us earlier, we just need to check in one room earlier because we went for sightseeing after check in, I booked the hotel from US and knows the English name of the hotel. But the hotel name posted outside is in Japanese. It took us 20+ min to find out. If you book this hotel in US, please remember to look for Japanese Characters for the hotel name. The breakfast (buffet) may look good. But the dining room is so small. There are 10 people in front of us at 8:00am. To save time, we decided to go to a coffee shop around the corner.

Provide coffee or simple drink. The coffee maker was covered and apparent doesn't want customer to use in the morning and early afternoon,
