Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel
Room is clean. The issue is with the checking process. The staff did not offer any information about the property. There is a shuttle bus available but the staff has ever given us any information. The staff has no facial expression and seems unhappy in everything.

Room was very clean and somewhat spacious. Room temperature was HOT, but the option to open the window for cooler air was helpful.
