JR Mobile Inn Furano offers its guests laundry facilities, express check-in, and a microwave in a common area. The front desk is open around the clock. Limited free parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The tablet check-in does not work, and it also failed for other guests the day before and in the same day. The provided phone number is unreachable. The building is a design failureâcalling it ânoisyâ is an understatement, as every word and footstep of other guests is noticeable. Communication with the accommodation is only possible via email, and no assistance regarding noise issue was provided. The rooms might look nice in theory, but in practice are poorly executed without any soundproofing.
Room was nice, suitable for a couple if you're happy to sleep in separate beds. 2 king single mattresses with additional bedding in storage compartment for additional people. Shower was great with great water pressure, though no ventilation so it would get very steamy very quickly. Fridge wasn't on when we arrived, had to turn it on ourselves. You get a hair dryer, a kettle, 4 cups and 4 mugs. No utensils and the microwave is in the shared space where the washing machines and dryers are. Inconvenient yet tolerable.
The entire building is made from wood so you can hear every movement, especially from people above/below or next to you. We had issues with the people below us and their children running and jumping around late at night which kept us up, despite me confronting them about it and asking them to keep it down, as well as the property asking them to do the same. Though this isn't specifically related to the property itself, this was definitely the biggest drawback. If it had better acoustic insulation it would have been perfect, though due to this issue, I don't see us staying here again. I suggested that management put signs up to establish a dedicated "quiet time", and charge people who continuously ignore it (yes they were that bad). I'm not one to complain or leave bad reviews, but the noise travel was a major issue for us that I think everyone should be aware of.
Overall, it's very clean and new, and has small shops next door, though a bit far from restaurants.
