Spreading my love hotel in fanfic agenda
pros of having your characters pick a Japanese love hotel to spend the night:
-Intended for last-minute bookings, there's probably a room available
-Check-in for overnight stays are very late at night
-Designed for privacy, very likely there is no staff you need to talk to at any point (there is at least a monitoring camera in the lobby for security though)
-The in and out paths are usually different
-Self-check-in in most places, otherwise the receptionist's face is hidden
-Often includes free snacks upon check-in
-Soundproof walls
-Completely covered windows in opaque materials
-Free extremely wide range of amenities, including but not limited to toothbrush, mouthwash, hairtie, hairclip, hairbrush, razor, shaving cream, washcloth, net, soap, shampoo, conditoner, lotion, nail clippers and cotton swabs
-Free rental of even more stuff, including but not limited to: pajamas, loungewear, costumes, more beauty products and inflatable matresses
-In-room mini vending machine for drinks (and sometimes Adult Items)
-No-contact room service for all meals
-Traditional Japanese bathroom (high chances of including a plastic bed mat of some kind for the floor)
-There's only one bed (and a couch)
-Smoking rooms available (if you need one)
-Karaoke machine, TV on demand, wi-fi, charger cables, air conditioning, etc.
-Self-check-out or faceless receptionist again
-Overall cheap and affordable
Cons to having your characters pick a Japanese love hotel to spend the night:
-Commonly kitsch, gaudy room design (two rooms rarely share the same design), sometimes there's Themeing (awkward)
-Sometimes the room design is impractical, such as Windows or Mirrors in unconvenional places, metal poles in the middle of the room, etc. (awkward)
-Adult Items™ on the night stand, for free! (awkward)
-Intended for short stays (a few hours to a day)
-Not fully anonymous despite the looks of it
-Some hotels don't let you leave the room unless you've paid with the in-room self-check-out machine (the door is locked and you need to call the staff to be let out without checking out)
