The staff were so pleasant and welcoming, and the room so nicely appointed, I was disappointed I was only staying one night.

ビジネスにはとても良いホテルでした。
台風で急遽フライトが岡山空港経由となって1泊が必要となったの宿泊しました。空港からバス30分でさらに徒歩10分で大変便利でした。部屋は広くありませんが寝心地の良いベッドとすべての操作が枕元で出来るのがよかったです。TVでホテルの過ごし方やWiFiの案内、観光案内などが紹介されていて、わかやすく近代的です。大浴場も気持ちがよかったです。イオンが近く買いものにも便利だと思いました。

A nice comfortable stay
The price I paid was great and was happy with the facilities. There was a decent double bed for my single person booking and the room was of a reasonable size compared to some I have stayed at. Yes it wasn't massive, but was still space. Bed was comfortable and the TV was massive. I do speak a little Japanese but staff were certainly helpful and check in process was smooth. The hot springs are always a nice touch, though felt really hot at time of stay (have visited many around Japan and was at Dogo Onsen next day). Had a great stay.

Solid budget hotel, no complaints
The hotel is totally adequate. Clean room, nice staff, decent amenities, easy to find location. Accommodations are not luxurious, but it's a good value for the price. Bathroom is very small but not uncomfortable. On-site sauna/spa is convenient. Overall I would recommend especially for business/solo travelers.

Misleading Listing!
The actual room didn't match the room advertised. It was inferior. Significantly. I complained and they told me "so sorry" which made me even more annoyed since they weren't going to do anything about it. I told them I would report to Hotels.com because their listing was misleading. A manager got involved and offered an upgrade for the 3rd and 4th nights (of a 4 night stay). The room was better but generally, the hotel is run down and depressing. I won't stay in another APA hotel.

A very convenient stay!
The service at this hotel is exceptional! The location is great, as it’s within walking distance to Okayama station, and it’s right next to the Aeon mall! They always have at least one English speaking staff on duty at the front desk. The only thing is that the rooms are quite tiny. Typical for Japanese hotels, but be ready for a bit of a squeeze. All in all though, we had a great stay. Comfortable, clean, and exceptional staff service!

Though it's about 10 mins walk (much shorter if without luggage of course) away, it's conveniently located near Aeon Mall, which literally provides a convenient access to most necessity, particularly food. And despite locating near rail track, there aren't noticeable noise from the train, except for some Cantonese speaking tourists can be heard yelling a few rooms down the hall, that means the walls are not efficiently noise proof. The double bed's really comfy, and it is larger in comparison to general semi-double room elsewhere (which usually only offers a single+ bed), so was the room. The counter staffs we encountered spoke good English.

The hotel lobby was quite nice and although they initially couldn't find our reservation, the check-in was easy. The room itself was small (but perhaps that's an APA thing as we stayed at another APA hotel with a similar-sized room) but was comfortable. The bed is set up a bit higher than usual so that you can store your luggage underneath it. The only negative is that the mesh pillow they provide was quite uncomfortable; I forgot to ask at reception for a regular one as they did provide other options at the other APA we stayed at. It's a short walk (5 minutes) to the train station and a mall, plus about another 5 minutes away from restaurants.

Not as nice as other APA hotels
We’ve stayed in APA hotels before and they’ve always been clean and neatly decorated. This one felt quite shabby with scuffs and dents all over the walls and furniture, and the walls/ceiling in the bathroom seemed a bit dirty. The room was also quite hot - the air conditioner was quite basic and did not cool the room very well. I wouldn’t stay in this APA again.

Not my best APA experience
I have stayed in quite a few APA hotels before and this is by far in the poorest condition. The hotel is really old and dated and in much need of a refurbishment. Their WiFi connection is so bad I practically gave up after the first night to connect to it. Negative comments aside, their staff have kept up with the APA brands name in service and were friendly and professional as ever. The rooms were of APA's usual room standards. On the plus side, the hotels location is a 10min walk to Okayama Station and a 5min walk to a huge AEON departmental store. With the price I paid, I don't think I would return, as I had a much better experience at a competitors hotel at the same price range.

The owner of the APA group has very right wing opinions. His opinions are aired in many publications in the room. I will try not to stay in APA hotels again.
