Mielparque Kumamoto Hotel
It is quite confort and spacy not like tiny room of any other Japanese hotels. However, the facility is looks little bit old. Breakfast was good which is mix of Japanese and western style...Recommend it for money for value... you have to pay your car park separately

KOKO HOTEL Premier Kumamoto
Spending more time traveling up and down escalators. Since there is no drop-off for the hotel itself we had to park our car for 1 hour just for dropping off the baggage. Room is smaller than expected and there is no room to open baggage.
