Nikko Park Lodge (Tobu Nikko Station)

A good conveni location and almost everything is available.

I've spent a total of 60 days traveling in Japan, Nikko Park Lodge was most unpleasant hotel I have stayed at. The building is old, I'd guess from the 1950's, and they haven't done anything to renovate it recently. The whole place stank of mildew and mold. My room was on the fifth floor, the smell of mildew was even worst when I entered the building, so I'd guess the room down there were even more musty. I left a day early because the mold was triggering my allergies.

There are parts of the floor that feel like you’re going to sink through. It’s clean-ish, but the security system is such that people consistently forget to lock the door, and it is often open all night. There are lockers, but they’re small and from what I can tell they don’t come with your bed. Location is the best thing about this place. I’d probably spend the extra cash and sleep somewhere better.
