Hotel MGM
8,3/10 Excellent - Based on 54 reviews
Hotel MGM is an adults-only, one-garage style property on the western flank of Niigata prefecture, designed for privacy and straightforward access. The low-profile façade and individual garage entrances let guests drive straight into a room without a staffed front desk, and the layout keeps every unit on ground level for easy arrival. With ten rooms and a practical focus on comfort, the property is used by couples and solo travellers seeking discreet accommodation near coastal attractions. About ten rooms and a dozen on-site parking spaces suit short stays and roll-through overnight use.
Rooms combine basic kitchen conveniences (mini-fridge, microwave, electric kettle) with entertainment features such as VOD, Chromecast and Blu‑ray/DVD players, plus a flat-screen TV. Bathrooms include bidet-equipped toilets, large soaking tubs in several units, bathrobes and complimentary toiletries; some rooms offer mist sauna or jet/bubble baths. Free Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, streaming services and sofa beds are listed among room amenities, while on-site free parking and terrace space extend usable living area beyond the bedroom. Simple automated payment and garage-entry systems support discreet, largely contactless stays.
Practical details: check-in is in the evening and the venue enforces an 18+ minimum; pets can be accommodated on request. The hotel sits within easy driving distance of regional sights including Yahiko Shrine and local onsen areas, and functions as a convenient base for exploring the Sea of Japan corridor between Niigata and neighbouring prefectures; searches for love hotel Toyama and love hotel, Toyama Prefecture will often surface similar roadside options along this stretch.

Review summary for: Hotel MGM
Positive Reviews
Good value / high cost-performance
Many guests noted the property is inexpensive for the features offered — several described it as great value or high cost-performance compared with the price paid.
Clean and well-maintained rooms and baths
Multiple reviews praised the cleanliness of rooms and bathrooms; even where the building is older, renovated areas and clean interiors made a positive impression.
Friendly, responsive staff and clear messaging
Guests appreciated polite, helpful staff and quick replies to Booking messages; clear check‑in/out instructions were highlighted as convenient and reassuring.
Pet-friendly and convenient parking/room access
Reviewers valued that the hotel accepts dogs, has sheltered parking, and in some rooms the garage connects directly to the room, making arrival and luggage handling easy.
Spacious rooms and large baths
Several guests found the rooms roomy with relatively large bathing areas and terraces (in some rooms), contributing to a comfortable, relaxing stay.
Negative Reviews
Limited variety of complimentary amenities
Some guests noted only standard shampoo/body soap were provided and expressed a desire for a wider selection or more borrowable amenity options.
No on-site dining and few nearby shops
There is no food service at the property and a number of reviewers said there are few nearby convenience stores or restaurants, so bringing food or planning a stop before arrival is recommended.
Occasional tobacco odor and ventilation issues
A few guests reported a cigarette smell in rooms and asked for improved ventilation or stronger odor control in some units.
Unclear extra charges / early check-in fees reported
At least one reviewer experienced an unexpected additional charge for early arrival; clearer communication about check‑in times and any extra fees would help avoid surprises.
Exterior appearance and privacy concerns
Some guests mentioned the building’s exterior clearly looks like a love hotel and felt awkward entering/exiting; this was a minor deterrent for certain visitors despite clean interiors.
