Hotel JAL City Kannai Yokohama

In Yokohama, there are some luxurious and fantastic hotels like Royal park, Intercontinental and Sheraton. If you are rich, you can stay at those hotels. That's a good idea. But, if you would like to save money, you'll stay at the smaller hotels located in Kannai or Yamashita-park area. Among those hotels, I recommend Hotel JAL City Kannai Yokohama because the rooms are comfortable and the price is really good -less than 10,000JPY. Adding that, the hotel is located near the station and the restaurant in the hotel is really nice.
