❇️Sotetsu FRESA INN Ueno Okachimachi: an affordable business hotel with convenient transportation in Ueno

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Ueno-Okachimachi (Sotetsu Fresa Inn Ueno-Okachimachi) is the hotel where I stayed on the last night of my trip to the Tokyo Fireworks Festival and Karuizawa Summer Vacation in the summer of 2019. The room space is limited, but the beds can be combined to provide a spacious sleep. The space allowed us to return to the hotel and have a good sleep after finishing the Edogawa City Fireworks Festival. The hotel is close to Ueno Station, and it is even more convenient to go to the airport to catch a flight the next day. (🔎Reservation price and guest reviews:agoda|booking.com)

In Japan's aging society, many hotel cleaning tasks are outsourced and foreign workers are brought in to do the cleaning. After we checked in at 3 pm, when we came to the door of the room, we still saw the cleaning staff still working hard cleaning other rooms, which was obviously a hard work. The burden is quite heavy. After taking pictures of the room, I found that the cleaning was not accurate, such as hairs left behind, and the sheets were not spread evenly and firmly. It was indeed a bit dumbfounding when I entered the room, but in exchange for the affordable price, I could only feel relieved. (🔎Reservation price and guest reviews:agoda|booking.com)
