Forget this! Search further!

Booked and paid for 5. Only room for 4. 1 of us had to sleep on a couch (very old, hard, with wood sticking out). Couch was in the middle room (no possibility to darken it). Furniture very very old. Japanese guy (site manager), very bad English. After questioning, no alternatives offered. Brought only an old matras.... Shuttle service?? Forget it!! They are willing to call a taxi. Forget this option!!! Dont use this motel. Search further!!!
