This hotel was very clean. The style was a little older. The doors has not been updated to key cards, but still used keys. Nonetheless, the hotel was great. We had a wonderful time and I would definitely stay there again. Not to mention, the rooms were more American size then the other Japanese hotels we stayed in.

Blown away by huge room size -- nothing spectacular by western standards, but after getting used to the small (if not cramped) size of most Japanese hotels, I was pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of Chisun Grand Sasebo.

Location very central (although tucked away on a quiet side street, it was only a block away from main shopping arcade, restaurants, bars -- close to Sasebo US Navy Base) . Breakfast at hotel excellent. Mattress comfortable.

Negatives -- rooms interiors were fairly outdated -- especially the furniture.

The staff are helpful in this place. The big problem is that the hotel rooms are worn out and are not maintained.

I moved out of one room on the 5th floor because the sink had a crack in it, the carpeting had big stains all over it by the desk and the was so worn out that you could see the foam padding through the holes in the fabric.

Now I am writing this review here on the 7th floor in the new room they transferred me to. They moved my luggage up here while I was working during the day today. Guess what? This room is almost as bad as the one on the 5th floor. The chairs are really worn out. You can see the foam padding through the fabric! The chair at the desk is the worst with rips in the fabric a couple of inches long. The chair next to the bed has a quarter sized hole in the top. The other problem with this room here on the 7th floor is that the toilet keeps making noises. It sounds like a water fountain running in the bathroom all the time. I guess I'll just sleep with the bathroom door closed tonight.

On the positive side I would say that the bathroom is clean and has a good powerful shower. Also, I like the firm bed. Next time I'm here on business I'll stay at a different hotel.
