Kofu Washington Hotel Plaza (solo trip)

Stayed for a night while one vacation. Perfect hotel for my needs. Check-in was prompt, and friendly. The room was clean with all the necessary amenities, and plenty comfortable for a solo traveler. Your standard Japanese hotel. It was a touch pricier than a normal business hotel stay (8,000 yen), but I would chalk that up to visiting during a holiday.

Bathroom was clean. However the futon itself had a red spots, maybe by blood, under futon cover. I don't think cleaners didn't notice it when they were preparing for the bed. Breakfast was buffet and it was good enough.

A really busy hotel for 1 night travelers. Place is really runned down. There were molds in the washroom and everything just feels old and rusty. The breakfast for $5 beat my expectation. I would recommend this add on if you don't want to run around in the morning looking for things to eat.

Helpful people who did speak pretty decent English. Good rooms, smaller than what would be normal for Western visitors, but if you are in Japan, expect small to be normal sized. You can see Mt. Fuji pretty clearly on good days. I stayed here my first week in this town. Free breakfast, but it is definitely not much and in general was not good. Overall, definitely worth the stay.
