Experience of the stay
I love outlet shopping, so I chose this place to stay because I wanted to visit Rinku Outlet.
It's just a one-minute walk from the station, and there aren't many tall buildings around except for the omo hotel and one other hotel, which made it easy to find.
I arrived late at night, but there's a convenience store near the entrance on the second floor of the hotel, so it was bright and convenient for buying anything I needed.
The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable.
It's no-shoes policy inside the room, and you have to take off your shoes at the entrance, making it easy for families with small children to stay.
You can hang your luggage on the rack right inside the entrance, so there’s no sense of crowding your luggage near the entrance.
There was also empty space at the back of the room (next to the TV), so even if you have a lot of luggage, you can spend your time comfortably.
The fact that the bath and toilet are separate was another great point.
The washbasin was inside the room, so it was spacious to use.
I went to the large public bath around 11 PM, and surprisingly, there were quite a few people using it even at that late hour.
It wasn't crowded, and since there are many different types of baths (electric baths, carbonated baths, and tub baths), it was just right for everyone to spread out.
The baths were also kept clean and felt great, so I used them again the next morning.
For breakfast, I used the buffet on the 21st floor.
I went around 8 AM, so it was a bit crowded, but there were two rows of the same menu, making it easy to take food smoothly.
The pancakes (Egg Benedict and chocolate banana) being cooked right in front of you had a long queue.
I was hungry, so I first made one round to eat and then lined up for pancakes as dessert, but it took about 15 to 20 minutes at that time.
It was delicious, so I was satisfied.
Next to the coffee machine, there were mugs and paper cups available; being able to take the paper cup back to my room was appreciated.
There were also seats designated for pet owners, which is helpful for those with pets.
Check-in can be done self-service in the lobby, and check-out can be done via smartphone from the room, and you just return the card to a box in the elevator hall, making it convenient and hassle-free.
I would love to use this place again.
Experiences during the trip
The next morning after our stay, we headed to Rinku Outlet.
Since it was early, there weren't too many customers, and we were able to avoid the usual lunch rush by finishing early.
After 1 PM, the stores started to get crowded, but we managed to see all the shops we wanted and left early, allowing us to take a less busy train home.
There's a shopping mall in front of the outlet with Nishimatsuya, game centers, food courts, and lots of gachapon, so families with kids should enjoy it here. (There is a possibility that the kids might enjoy this place too much and not want to go to the outlet!)
