Impressions
As I stepped into the Shin Okubo Sekitei, it was like entering a well-oiled machine. The hotel’s service system of housekeeping and laundry was like a symphony - every move performed with precision and expertise. From the crisp white linens to the freshly ironed clothes, the attention to detail was impeccable. It was as if the hotel’s staff conducted a beautiful dance, while the guests were the lucky audience.
I felt pampered and appreciated as soon as I entered my room, where the housekeeping team had made arrangements with a meticulous display of my belongings. The entire room was spotless and smelled fresh! The cleanliness of the hotel is something to be lauded, for it is second to none. I was impressed to see that the hotel goes above and beyond to ensure the guests’ well-being by sanitizing everything, including high-touch areas like door handles and light switches.
Moreover, the laundry service provided by Shin Okubo Sekitei was remarkable! The hotel’s laundry system is like a giant washing machine with the loads of guest laundry that flowed in and out of the service with ease. The quality of the laundry was impeccable, and the service was incredibly fast. One could drop off their clothes in the morning, and in a few hours, they would be able to collect them, all clean and pressed. It made the guests' time hassle-free and more enjoyable.
In conclusion, when it comes to traveling for active recreation, the last thing one wants is to worry about housekeeping and laundry tasks that can take up precious time. Shin Okubo Sekitei’s sublime service ensures that guests can focus solely on indulging their adventurous side while having peace of mind of returning to a clean and cozy room with fresh laundry every time.
