Another city, another Washinton Hotel

Why do we always stay at the Washington chain of hotels in Japan? Perhaps it's the charm of their tiny rooms and cheesy furniture? Or the nylon dressing gowns (yukatas) you get? Or the way you can't check in until 2pm? Or how check out time is strictly 10am? The optional bag of beans instead of a pillow? Perhaps it's the fishy breakfasts? Or the "vending machine corner" instead of a mini-bar? The tiny teacups with no handles you get in the rooms? The all plastic bathrooms that are the size of the ones you get on planes? They don't take credit cards either. No, the real reason we stay there is that the English signs make us laugh so much.

The view wasn't bad this time either
