Shinagawa Tobu Hotel

Blood on the sheets

The area of Shinegawa is great, 5 minutes from a main train station where you can get anywhere in Japan. The room is just a bit bigger than the bed but full of amenities, i.e. Blow drier, plenty of shampoo, tv, etc. staff was polite and helpful as there was a drunk guy in the common area and the night manager came with me to buy snacks; he made me feel more comfortable as drunk guy was loud and wily. They refunded without issue and apologized.

There was literally dried blood on the sheets. Not a drop but a decent amount. No security guards. Loud in the hallways. The alarm in my room went off at 5 AM. Drunk, intrusive guy was able to act out without concerns of repercussions. I would only recommend for a business guy without much luggage as there is very little room. I DO NOT recommend for a female solo traveler. I have travelled a lot and am no shrinking violet and I moved to a different hotel the next day.
