Introduction Even though I live in Tokyo I decided to go with the family to Tokyo Disneyland and we thought it would be nice to stay at a nearby hotel and be able to wake up and get right to the gates. I've stayed in a variety of Ibis properties in Japan and they're all fine but unexciting, but the price for the Tokyo Bay hotel really can't be beat. It seems to range from around $50-100/night. Location The actual location is in Urayasu, a city in the neighboring prefecture of Chiba. It's really at the border of Tokyo and there is train access direct from Tokyo Station to Shin-Urayasu station. Note that there is also a subway station called "Urayasu" but it's kind of far from Shin-Urayasu, and it'd be around an hour walk if you wanted to arrive from there, so not recommended.Near Shin-Urayasu is a large shopping complex with several shopping and dining options, including a full supermarket.The hotel is around a 5-10 minute walk from the station. It's slightly off of the main street, so it's rather quiet at night. Check In Upon entrance to the lobby there are several counters available, decor is overall colorful.There's also a separate checkin for loyalty members and online check in and it seemed to have staff sitting there even when the lobby was empty.I went here and they just brought me to one of the normal desks, since the place wasn't busy at all. I assume it will be more useful when there is a longer line.Since I had done the online check in everything was prepared and they had all my info ready, overall well organized. They had a piece of paper with all my details and I checked it and noticed that I had been upgraded, however this was not actually mentioned to me. The paper just said the room type so I assume that I was just upgraded automatically and there's no way for the staff to know otherwise. I suppose that if I had checked in normally they would have upgraded me on the spot, as what tends to happen when I stay at Ibis hotels at other locaions. Either way no downside to using online check in here. Inside the lobby is also a kid's play area. Service Staff could speak English with no issue. My interaction with them ended at check in but they were polite.One thing which was kind of unfortunate to learn about is that the public bathhouse costs 500yen to use. The website makes several references to the bath and as far as I can tell does not mention the charge. Typically hotels with public baths allow guests to access them for free here, so it was kind of an unwelcome surprise!For my welcome drink they gave me the option of a soft drink or a beer, I chose the beer and they packaged it for me.The welcome drink was actually a good local beer, usually the Ibis hotels welcome drinks are just standard bottles of tea or a cup for the coffee machine, so this was a welcome surprise.There is a free shuttle bus that goes directly to Tokyo Disneyland/Disneysea, we took the shuttle to Disneyland and it took around 15 minutes. There is a shuttle bus timetable in the lobby. Room I booked the cheapest standard room and got upgraded to the superior room with 2 singles and a sofa bed. Interestingly enough there are no configurations with one double bed, only 2 or more singles. I guess they're trying to appeal more to families?Hotel hallways were clean and colorful.Room had good lighting and was relatively spaceous for a Japanese hotel in this price range, although most of the space was taken up by the 3 beds. Power sockets had both standard plug and USB options. Room was clean and comfortable, no complaints. Typical tea and coffee set, water bottles, safe and fridge under it.Bath and toilet are typical for Japanese hotels.There was an Android device which gave a bunch of information on the area when activiated. It went to some Japanese tourism website which was focused on Chiba. It wasn't really focused on the immediate area and would give suggestions on events that were pretty far away, but it's a nice touch.TV had a lot of information on the main menu about the stay. TV channels are mostly Japanese, BBC World was the only English channel. There were some Chinese adn Korean channels as well. Dining The restaurant seems to only be open for breakfast. Breakfast is not included in the standard rate and cost around 1000yen extra at the time of booking, and 1500yen if you want it afterwards. Most Japanese hotel breakfasts are all the same and my previous experiences at Ibis hotels didn't change my opinion, so I didn't bother paying for it but someone who hasn't spent much time in Japanese hotels would probably enjoy it. For dinner there are plenty of restaurants in the nearby shopping plaza. Overall Overall this hotel exceeded my expecations and is one of the best values for staying in Tokyo if you don't mind traveling a little outside of the city to get here. The Shinjuku Ibis is an alternative but is consitiently more expensive than this one and some may prefer the quieter location of Urayasu. It's also a good location for going to Tokyo Disneyland or Makuhari.The hotel was opened recently and it definitely shows, everything is new and clean. Obviously it doesn't have the same amenenties or room sizes/styles of the other Accor properties, but for this price range I'm not sure if you could do better for a hotel in the Tokyo area!
