The day before check-in, the millionaire received an email with check-in information from the hotel while shopping. It also provided "pre-check-in" steps.

This information is very important and will be used when you check-in at the hotel.

hotel environment

There is a parking space at the entrance of the hotel. The building itself is somewhat similar to an apartment-style building, just like what you see in Japanese dramas. The hotel corridor has rooms on one side and an open space on the other side. There are large trash cans in the corridor on each floor. Food waste in the room can be thrown here.

As soon as he entered the entrance hall of the room, the rich man unexpectedly saw a washing machine and laundry detergent for use. Next to the washing machine is the bathroom and toilet.

Japanese hotels are a classic example of utilizing space to the extreme. Even the rich man’s wife admires it and replaces unnecessary facilities with other ones. Recently, the rich man observed that some affordable business hotels have gradually removed the wardrobes and replaced them with simple ones. Wall hanging clothes rack, this is enough for the rich. suspect! I don't think I saw a safe either.

The bed is relatively hard to sleep on, but the rich man likes this kind of slightly hard bed. People will sink into a bed that is too soft, but the rich man is not used to it.

The equipment in the room is very complete. In addition to the basic hotel Sanbao water heater and humidifier, even a double-layer refrigerator, microwave oven, and clothes drying rack are prepared for passengers.

Shower bathtub, quite typical Japanese bathroom configuration. Basic toiletries, hair ties, toothpaste, and toothbrushes are provided. You don’t need to go to the counter to get it because there is no counter (laughs).

rich man experience

Let me talk about the conclusion first. The hotel itself is great. The room is fully equipped and the space is large. However, the check-in process is a bit cumbersome and requires a video call with the hotel staff. Elderly people who are not familiar with operating tablets may not be able to A bit troublesome. The hotel promotes environmental protection and does not provide room cleaning, yukata, pajamas, or towels, so be careful! However, disposable indoor slippers, toothbrushes, etc. are still provided.

There are also paid shared bicycles at the entrance of the hotel. With bicycles, you can go further. I want to try it next time.

It takes 20 minutes to walk to the 24-hour supermarket and drugstore near Chiling Station. Although it is a bit far away, it is a good opportunity to make the final sprint of the journey.

Because the flight back to Taiwan was too early, I had to arrive at the airport at 6 a.m., and the Naha Monorail didn’t leave until 6 a.m., so I had to take a taxi, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get an Uber at the moment, so I booked an airport transfer in advance. The rich man booked an airport transfer through a ride-sharing website. It only took less than 10 minutes and there was an additional fee of 2,000 yen for requesting the taxi before 7 a.m., so the final fare was 10,000 yen. Later, I thought that it would be possible to take the monorail. It was really a great trip. The biggest mistake.

Although the New Normal Condo Hotel is located near Okinawa Naha Airport, I didn't hear the noise of planes taking off and landing. I don't know if it's because I'm too tired, but I'm going back to Taiwan.
