An easy access from Kaihinmakuhari Station, about 5 minutes walking. Location is perfect. We got the breakfast package and we enjoyed it with a beautiful view of the bay. The room was decent with the necessary amenities. No coin laundry on site, so you would have to go somewhere if you are staying long. I’d come back again!

Exceptional Hotel
While in Chiba, I will always return to Hotel Francs. My favorite is the Corner Twin room because it is spacious and comfortable. The service and staff are exceptional. The Airport Limo bus drops off and picks up in front of the hotel.

Rooms are extremely dated, old. The hotel is however quiet and in a very good location for Makuhari Messe, a lot cheaper than other places around that area.

Overpriced terrible experience. Don’t book here
I first booked this place because it said it had parking on site. But when I arrived they said their parking only allowed small kei cars. So I had to find a public parking garage nearby. Then when I checked in they messed up my booking with someone else’s. They were all over the place, gave me the wrong cards and wrote the wrong check out date on the paper. The room they gave me was very old and dirty and the outlets weren’t even working properly. Everything was from the 90s, the room definitely needs to be remodeled for the price they’re charging people. The hotel had no amenities, not even a coin laundry. The lobby also has nothing but people standing there doing nothing but just staring at visitors. Also booked the hotel including the kids in the booking but when I asked for extra towels from the lobby the old man started complaining that kids don’t get towels even though we were reusing the towels for the other nights so we would have used the same number of towels if they gave us new towels every night anyways. But if I call the lobby and ask for two towels your response should just be “no problem we’ll get two more towels to you right away” but no I get complaining from an old man. What am I over paying a hotel for if I can’t even get two extra towels. And on top of all of this you could feel the hard metal springs on the mattresses. Got terrible sleep and unfortunately booked for a few nights. Feel disrespected with this place being called a “western” hotel.

For business, it’s not necessary to have outlets. Rather how fast you can reach to the messe is more important

quiet and clean hotel. The staff was very polite and helpful with questions. The breakfast buffet food was somewhat limited. there wasn't much dining option at the hotel. the hotel is located pretty close to train station and shopping outlets where more dining options were available.

The Wi-Fi in the hotel room was patchy. It kicked out every few minutes, causing me to lose significant parts of my work and making everything take three times as long. Unacceptable, especially for a room on the executive level.
