Yachiyo Hotels with Wi-Fi

I recently stayed at Vessel Inn Yachiyo (Katsutadai Ekimae) for a total of 3 weeks and I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is conveniently located next to the Keisei Katsutadai Station (south exit) and it's a quick train ride from Narita Airport and an easy train ride to Tokyo (Keisei line or Toyo line). There is a Lawson Convenience Store in the same building as the hotel, a 7-Eleven around the corner, a Livre Keisei Supermarket across the street and lots of decently priced places to eat within walking distance (Hidakaya, Torikizoku, Kushikatsu Tanaka, Chiyoda Sushi, Takakura Machi Coffee, etc). I reserved a deluxe double room for the first 2 weeks of my stay - I was concerned that the only available one was a smoking room. The room was located on the 7th floor and much to my surprise, I barely noticed any smell in the room (there was an air filter available, but I didn't need to use it). The room was much bigger than I had expected for a modestly priced Japanese hotel, it was very clean and had the usual amenities (PJs, slippers, shampoo/conditioner, body wash). I really liked the fact that you could ask for housekeeping service when you wanted it (the default was once per week) or you could leave your trash can and used towels outside of your door each morning and come back to an emptied trash can, fresh towels and a bottle of water. I ended up having to extend my stay and had to switch to the only room they had available for my final week - a single room which was also a smoking room. This room was on the 5th floor, which also housed the smoking area of the hotel. Unfortunately, the entire floor was filled with smoke. The hallway and the room were unbearably smokey and I had to have the air filter on full blast to tolerate the smoke. The room was clean, the bed was a little smaller, but not by much, the room was definitely smaller than the deluxe room, but still big enough to open my large suitcase. The staff here is a mix of Japanese and non-Japanese and while I only spoke to them in Japanese, I heard some of them speaking to other guests in decent English. Each staff member I interacted with was incredibly polite, helpful and knowledgeable. I especially appreciated the hotel staff who were there early in the morning to set up breakfast (5:30am to 9:30am). They were incredibly polite and attentive, constantly refreshing the buffet, cleaning tables and greeting guests. The breakfast buffet appeared very modest at first glance, but they had quite a variety of foods - rice, miso soup, curry sauce, grilled fish, sausages, cooked eggs, sashimi, raw eggs for rice, various Japanese side dishes (hijiki, kiriboshi daikon, konnyaku, mentaiko, natto, nori, steamed broccoli, salad, etc), as well as mini plain and chocolate croissants, toast, pancakes, yogurt, sweets and a variety of sodas, juices and coffee drinks. I'm mostly vegetarian but I felt there was enough variety for me to eat there each morning. Also, as part of their daily ”Welcome Se

The light bulbs in the corridor flash. The futon cover has holes like cigarette burns. The electric system in the room that I don't know is dusty overall. The elevator has a mysterious sound. Personally, I felt that I wasn't very well managed. This was the first time such a hotel was.
