**The positives: *Standard business hotel room, but with a pretty comfortable bed, a TV which I think was 4K and a fairly spacious, clean bathroom. *Shower was warm and comfortable. *The window opened slightly, which is always nice. *Ample vending machines in the area. *Coin laundry was on the cheap side: 200 yen washes, dryer was 100 yen per 30min. **Neutral: The route from the elevators to the door lead past the front desk, but you're able to walk on the far side of a big column if you don't want to be seen. (Which I don't. I'm...not sociable.) **The negatives (all of which are pretty minor): *Leaky bathroom faucet, although I never heard it. *This hotel has a big disparity between "niceness of the TVs and filthiness of the elevator carpets." TVs: Really nice. Elevator carpets: Pretty filthy. *Area was kinda noisy and a bit busy for my tastes. *Coin laundry was cheap but the machines were also outside. It was February when I was there -- I had to factor in "freezing my butt off" when deciding whether or not to use them (which I didn't). *~Occasionally~ heard neighbors. I think I heard people out on the street (through a closed window) more often, to be honest.

A local hotel, old but clean. Very close to station and only 3 stops to the downtown area. (Kobe and Sanomia)
Of course, downtown is still the best choice but this one is good alternative if you can’t find a good price in the city.

Without speaking Japanese, the staff assigned me my room quickly, and replaced a room key I left in the room. The room cleaning was thorough. Everything worked. I would stay at this hotel again.

Of course! Here's a polished and more considerate version of your review, while still conveying your concerns clearly:
---
Our stay was okay overall, mainly because we only used the hotel to sleep. However, despite the hotel being advertised as non-smoking, the room had a strong smell of tobacco. Every time we returned, we had to open the windows for at least 30 minutes just to make it breathable. The curtains, in particular, had a very strong odor, which lingered no matter how much we tried to ventilate the space, morning or evening.
We only interacted with the staff briefly, and while they couldn’t offer a solution to the issue, they were friendly and provided good customer service.
Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy my stay due to the persistent smell. As a non-smoker, it was unpleasant, and I ended up leaving with all my clothes smelling like tobacco.

I'm never staying here again.

I chose this hotel because of its location. As a result, it was the worst.
As it was a recently opened hotel, I checked in to see what it was like, but when I entered the room, the dust was all over the walls. I was surprised.
The room was fully booked and couldn't be changed, so when he thought it was going to be cleaned when he got back from the outing, he went in and cleaned it even though he had unpacked it while he was away.
What’s more, dust was still stuck on the other half of the wall. I distrust cleaning people who don't notice this area of dust.
And even though they cleaned it, the staff didn't even pat dry the sofa after they went up to the one provided in the room.
It was already past 10pm and I woke up at 5am the next morning, so I gave up because I wanted to rest.
I was going to bed in the dust.
I hurt my throat in a short time. It was a hotel with poor health.
There were many other hotels that were cheaper and better, but I can only regret it.
I will never stay again.

Very good location
