381438 2 Location 472150 <p>Because I couldn't secure reservations for Saturday night at Toyoko Inn (or any other place in Kyoto), I had to reserve a room elsewhere.&nbsp; This hotel was easy to find--go out the east exit of JR Shin-Osaka, down the stairs and look for a small sign identifying the back entrance to the hotel.&nbsp; This was a typical businessman hotel, though not as nice as the Toyoko Inn.&nbsp; The location was bad, other than being close to the station.&nbsp; I did not see any eating places nearby (went back to the station for dinner) nor any stores, ect.&nbsp; The hotel provided a wireless internet access but I think the network was down and when I finally could pick up the signal, the WEP the hotel provided didn't work.</p> 2007-04-24T08:06:07-07:00 287309828 2007-04-06T17:00:00-07:00 0 18 177061 4374973 381438 0 211637 0.0352074252389607 2007-04-06T17:00:00-07:00 Published 15.0 2007-04-24T08:13:36-07:00 94889 0
