Reasonable price and close to the airport. It's a decent option if you arrive late and don't want to spend too much on lodging that night. The only thing I would complain about is that the place had a weird smell and the washroom was not as clean as I would like it to be. The pod itself does not have all the bells and whistles you normally see at a Japanese pod hotel (I know this is not Japanese-operated). But all I'm looking for is a place to sleep and leave early morning.

A unique experience for a Canadian. I’ve stayed in several capsules hotels in Japan but a first in Canada. Super clean. Super quiet. Super everything. I’m sure the owners had fun setting this up. On-demand hot water system. The male bathroom was great (and I assume the same for the female). Highly recommend this for a place to crash if all you need is sleep.
