Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel, Fukuoka-Shi

Likes: Nice room, front desks english skill is good. Safe and secure. Nice bell staff though their english skills are mixed. Cleaning staff is very nice and impeccably cleaned the room. I have left valuables in the room with no problem whatsoever. I did not try the restaurant so I can't comment on that. Internet access is free. Internet access speed and reliability is very good. I did not meter the speed but downloads seemed to be better than T-1 speed time-wise. No port filtering noticed, VPN worked. A Starbucks is across the street. In the business district so lots of shopping. A couple of good consumer elctronics stores a block away so you can scratch your gadget itch. Very good restaurants and entertainment close by. Subway is right next door. I have been here 3 times and will likely continue to come here when I travel to Fukuoka. The top floor bar is VERY nice. Full service health club is very nice but has an additional charge. Dislikes: TV has too few channels. I think around 12-ish channels. CNN is mostly in Japanese though. Bloomberg channel seems to be a part-time channel. Room service menu is limited but not too bad. I have not tried room service.
