First Inn Takamatsu in Takamatsu

I'd been wanting to stay here for a while due to a memorial service, so I finally went. There's free parking next to the hotel, which is a relief since many nearby hotels charge for parking upon check-in. I stayed in a single room, but the bathroom was locked (perhaps because it's basically unusable), and even the toilet was unusable. There seem to be shared toilets on each floor; they were Western-style, but they didn't have hot spring showers. There's a hot spring facility on the first floor, and the hot spring itself is similar to an old-fashioned public bath, allowing for a relaxing soak. Breakfast was included, but it was just udon (cold udon with broth?) and some side dishes (lol). I wish there was a bit more food...

As other reviewers have mentioned, there are many smokers, so this hotel might not be suitable for those who can't stand cigarette smoke or who prioritize cleanliness. However, if that's not a problem for you, it's a good option for saving money. It's a little away from the main shopping area, but you can hear the noise of large trucks heading to Takamatsu Port quite clearly in the early morning, so you might want to be mindful of the noise.

It's a capsule hotel. It's about a 10-minute walk from Takamatsu Station. Breakfast is included. It comes with boiled rice, toast, and coffee.
