Scenic Hotels in Urayasu

"This was my second stay here, after a 7-year gap. This time, to avoid the hassle of switching hotels, I decided to stay for a full 9 days. First, the positives: 1. **Great Location & Easy Access**: It's right outside Shin-Urayasu Station on the JE line, directly accessible via a connecting skybridge. 2. **Convenient Amenities Nearby**: There's a large shopping mall close by with plenty of dining options, and a Lawson convenience store downstairs. 3. **Free Disney Shuttle**: They offer a complimentary shuttle service to Disneyland. 4. **Excellent Airport Bus Service**: The airport bus stop is conveniently located at the hotel entrance. We took the earliest bus at 5:10 AM to Haneda Airport and arrived in about 40 minutes. 5. **Kid-Friendly Feature**: There's a projector on the second-floor reception area that keeps younger children entertained, which my child really enjoyed. Now, for the downsides: 1. **Shift Towards Budget**: Compared to my stay in 2019, it feels like the hotel has adopted a more economical approach. Is this a post-pandemic consequence? Disposable amenities are self-service on the second floor, and their quality is quite mediocre. 2. **Surprising Housekeeping Policy**: Upon check-in, I was explicitly told that housekeeping would only be provided on two of my nine days (once every three days), with only towel changes on the other days. I thought I misheard and had to confirm it. Honestly, this is the first time I've encountered such a policy in all my domestic and international hotel stays. I can understand changing bed linens every few days, as I don't change them daily at home, but being told that actual cleaning services wouldn't be provided at all on certain days was a first. This wasn't the case in 2019, and there was no mention of this policy in the hotel information on Ctrip, which surprised me. After complaining to Ctrip, the issue was resolved, and daily cleaning was provided thereafter. If they're not going to clean, then they should reduce the room rate for those days. But the daily rate remained the same, so why wasn't my room being cleaned? 3. **Lack of Guest Hospitality**: My 9-day stay was to celebrate my child's 4th birthday. I emailed the hotel beforehand, hoping for a small cake, which most hotels in my home country readily provide. However, the hotel's reply only provided a link to an all-Japanese website for me to purchase and reserve one myself. A 9-day stay for a birthday, and that's all they offer? It really felt like the hotel has no guest courtesy policy. 4. **Subpar Room Cleanliness**: The room cleaning was generally poor. There was dust on the kettle and table. On the day I checked in, I even found a pink hair tie left by the previous guest in the light trough behind the headboard. Perhaps because I stayed here in '19, I had certain expectations. But times have changed, and it seems the hotel's operational policies have too. Guests should decide for themselves if it meets their needs."

"The separate bath and toilet, plus the amenities, really uplifted my spirits! Among the official hotels, this one offers great value for money. And we were able to enter Disneyland a full 15 minutes early! Highly recommended for those who want to visit Disneyland. There's also a convenience store within the hotel, and parking is a flat 2000 yen until 5 PM the next day. The shuttle bus service to Disneyland is a lifesaver for families with kids too! So many great points."

"This hotel is new and conveniently located near the sea. The self-check-in process was very smooth, and I used the luggage delivery service upon check-out, which made traveling with kids much easier. There's also a self-service luggage storage room available. It's very close to DisneySea, and you can even see the Tower of Terror. There are shuttle buses that take you to both Disney parks and Maihama Station (where you can catch the Disney Resort Line). Each floor has self-service amenities like toiletries, an ice machine, a water dispenser, and ironing facilities, plus baby toilet seats. There's a self-service laundry room, but it gets very crowded on weekend evenings, and the availability status on the in-room TV is often delayed and inaccurate. The ground floor common area has a reading nook, perfect for working, and building blocks for kids to play with. There's also a Lawson convenience store on the first floor with a good selection of items, which is very handy."

"We stayed here specifically for a few nights in Tokyo as Disney was part of our agenda. Overall I enjoyed this hotel - the location was great, very close (and covered) to the subway - less than 5 minutes. There are a couple of malls just next to the subway with lots of food options, supermarkets, Uniqlo etc. Great! Shuttle bus to Disneyland/sea was also one of the reasons we chose to stay here for the convenience to the parks and the service was great personally for us as we planned ahead - got to the bus stop (at DisneySEA) with some buffer to ensure we got a seat. However, there were no checks if you were a hotel guest for the service and guests from the adjacent hotel used the service which became very crowded, by the time it got to the DisneyLAND. For context this shuttle was only meant for Urayasu Brighton Hotel guests. The adjacent hotel had their own shuttle. Service here was great too - staff were very friendly unlike another hotel I stayed at in Ginza on the same trip. Rooms were refreshing for Tokyo as the room we were in was very spacious. It was clean also but did not offer complimentary water. Room also had a foot massager which I enjoyed. There was a Refa shower head and hair dryer. However just some “interesting” elements to this hotel. There are irons you can use - just call the front desk to use, but the catch is you only have 1 hour to use it. Must call the front desk to tell them to pick up. Didn’t want to chance going over an hour as I didn’t want to pay for this. Also, there was no door signs for this hotel - I.e do not disturb, please make room etc. House keeping entered and cleaned up the room which is opposed to their information they provided as it stated if you want house keeping to clean your room you needed to call the front desk by a certain time which we did not do. The house keeping was not detailed they put the extra pillows I used for MY bed on my sister’s bed. Also the bed runners which we took off and set to the side they put back on the bed and they put the extra pillows on it - which is simply gross as those runners are not clean. Bathrooms were spacious and clean also. But the marks on the sofa were very noticeable and kinda gross. Basic amenities were provided but could have been better. Overall would recommend."

"My stay was fantastic! I spent 2 nights there, and the room facilities were great, as were the views both inside and outside the hotel. For breakfast, there were two options – Japanese or buffet – and both were delicious. The hotel staff were incredibly helpful too. I accidentally locked myself out of my room, forgetting my key card, and someone came to help within a minute. Plus, it's super close to Disneyland. It's only a 3-5 minute walk to the train station, and then just one stop to DisneySea and two stops to Disneyland Park. I'll definitely be staying here again next time!"

"This hotel is conveniently located near Disneyland, and the front desk provides shuttle information upon check-in. It takes about 25 minutes to get to Disneyland, making it pretty good value for money. The surrounding area has many other hotels and a large park with slides, perfect for kids to burn off energy. You can take a direct bus from Narita Airport to the hotel; just get off at the Hyatt, and it's right next door. The bus ride is about 1.5 hours, which is much more cost-effective than a taxi. There's also a bus stop nearby with direct routes to Tokyo Station, or you can take the shuttle to Disneyland and then connect to the subway. Definitely get a Suica card and exchange some coins at the front desk for convenience. Breakfast: My kids loved it! There's a good variety, and they even give kids coins to get candy from a gumball machine. There are also restaurants nearby, but they're about a 10-minute walk away. Plus, there's a Lawson convenience store downstairs, which is super handy for buying things. Room: The room is quite spacious, with two large beds that can comfortably sleep 3-4 people."

"The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and we even received some complimentary snacks. Since it was my birthday trip, I emailed them beforehand and they left a heartwarming greeting card in the room! There's a Lawson convenience store and a Disney shop on the first floor, which was incredibly convenient. After a long day out, having a convenience store to refuel was essential, and it saved us from booking hotel breakfast – perfect for those who prioritize spending their budget on the hotel itself (save where you can, splurge where you want!). Getting to Bayside Station was also easy, and there's a shuttle bus available. The ocean view from the room was unbeatable. I'll definitely stay here again next time!"

"Location is a walking distance from Maihama station , hotel provides a morning and night transportation to hotel. Is also walking distance to Disney Sea and Disneyland. Bed is comfortable . The room have a leg massager(delightful )and there’s a self service coffee machine and drinks up to 23:00 which is excellent . Bathroom is a bit small but clean. Breakfast is buffet style with the basic choices but good enough. I will definitely come back to stay here in the future"

"While the Tokyo Disney Hotel is right at the entrance of the park, I still find the Hotel MiraCosta (at DisneySea) more convenient since it's actually inside the park. This hotel, however, is the closest one to Tokyo Disneyland. It's a large hotel, and check-in was quite slow. Then again, check-ins are generally slow at Japanese hotels, so I guess I'm used to it by now."
