Marina bay Numazu マリーナベイ沼津 BBQ可

Fabulous

Very good

Exceptional

Complete lack of hospitality

✓ The rooms and facilities were clean, the garden was nice and it is very close to the shore.

✗ There were obvious problems (shower room had no lock, cockroaches in the room, useless wifi connection) but my main disappointment was how they grabbed any opportunity to make us pay more. We booked the barbecue, which cost an extra 2000 yen, but we were only provided with coal and they made us buy paper plates and cups, they did not even provide a chopping board. After cooking, we saw we had to dispose of our trash, otherwise, we would have had to pay an extra 500 yen again! Bicycle rental was another 1000 yen, and you have to pay for even the most basic amenities like towels, and the kitchen has nothing in it (in case you wanted to cook), other than overpriced drinks in the fridge to buy. I was very disappointed by that lack of hospitality, which I never experienced in Japan before, not even in way cheaper accommodations. The location is also very inconvenient, buses stop running around 21:00 and a taxi costs over 2000 yen from the station.
