Let Your Soul Glo at Shogun Inn

I'm staying in Okinawa this week, so I'd like to share my review of the Shogun Inn, which is on Kadena.

First, based on their own criteria, I found them to be excellent in some areas.  The check-in went well, the room was clean, and supplied, and it was serviced properly during my stay.

Shogun Inn Latrine

The armchair looked like a prop from a Soul Glo commercial

So, as you can see, it looks like a very nice place, but here are my concerns:

First, I think that cloth seats are a mistake, not just at the Shogun Inn, but any place where you have many people sitting, and possibly eating, or drinking, cloth seats are not the way to go.  How can they possibly be clean?  Looking at this armchair, you can see that the headrest has been discolored to the point that it looks like it has been occupied by hundreds of greased heads.  And, the scent of ass in the room lead me to believe that hundreds of sweaty naked bottoms have occupied these cushions, instead of the other possibility, which is that someone cooked chitterlings in the room.

My second concern is that internet was extremely slow.  The speed was reminiscent of the 1990s.   Accessing some websites, or watching videos on Youtube was very problematic. The Inn gives you access to many networks, without password, and I often had to change to another network, when the network that I was on stalled.

The room had a D-Link router, model WBR-1310

And finally, in the latrine, water pitifully pours upon you, as you take a sprinkle, instead of a shower. I was surprised, because I didn't think that folks on an island, where it rains regularly, would have to conserve water.

So I addressed my concerns on the survey, and comment form.  I hope that they will improve.  Like I said, the facility is excellent in some respects, but should really address the deficiencies I have addressed.   I hope that your stay goes well.
