Apa Hotel Mito-Ekimae

The location was excellent being close to the station, main tourist sites, and dining options. The staff was friendly, and the room, while small, was manageable for a few days, particularly given the clothes hangers and one luggage rack. The rooms on the canal side have a nice outlook.

However, the lighting was very, very poor. There is no overhead light in the main area, and one very weak light on one side of the bed only. The person on the other side of the bed had no light at all (in the Double Room we had.) The hotel was expensive when compared with other business hotels. It has some additional touches, but they don't really make up for the significant price difference.
