Didn't try the free beer
Capsule is much more spacious than other capsule hotel (not double stacked, more headroom, bed was a doublesize Serta). There was space below to store luggage, but mine was too thick to fit entirely under (could still fit with door closed)
Not lockable (unlike the one in Kyoto).
Three negatives:
1) you have to carry the iPod around and use the nfc sticker to unlock the elevator floor. Annoying
2) 3 showers per floor, each had a lockable door but only the middle one had a small ledge to put stuff. No hooks
3) other capsule hotel generally give you a full-length locker. There were tiny unassigned combination lockers (size of 400yen lockers outside), but didn't seem enough for the entire capsule hotel(unless I counted wrongly)
