Just saw Drive Sunday evening, and it was better than I even expected. I wanted to see it since I first saw trailers for it, then reviews came in that were mostly all positive on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. I was even more curious to see it at that point. It had a stellar cast and an interesting trailer, so I figured why not. So here's my thoughts and break down on it if you're trying to decide to see it or not (or if you want an honest opinion on it and not wanting to read a 5 page article just to get an opinion on a specific aspect of it, like the writing, directing, etc.)
PLOT- It follows Ryan Goslings character as "Driver" who serves as a getaway driver for heist crews, works as a part time stuntman, and an auto mechanic. His friend and employer in those jobs is played by Bryan Cranston as Shannon, who is a guy that always has bad luck, he's in rough shape and gets involved with the wrong things. He tries to get a crime figurehead, Bernie, played by Albert Brooks, to invest into a race car business with Ryan Gosling as the driver. Bernie also has things going on the side with criminals like Ron Perlman, who plays Nino. Ryan Gosling forms a semi-love interest with his neighbor, played by Carey Mulligan as Irene, and gets involved with her and her childs life. He finds out that her husband Standard (weird name, I thought so too) is coming home from jail and is trying to clean up his act. Things don't work out and Ryan Gosling has to intervene to set things right. He executes his role perfectly and has such an excellent supporting cast. I've always liked Ryan Gosling, but he truly captures the mysteriousness of his character.
There are quite a few long silences and awkward interactions, but I found that it only enforces the atmosphere and tone that the movie set. It's a real atmospheric driven, suspenseful thriller, yet it's real subtle with pacing. The opening was brilliant, suspenseful, and just real low key. In my opinion, its actually one of the better openings for a film i've seen in a long time.
CINEMATOGRAPHY- The cinematography really captured the melancholy tone of the movie. It's real dark, but brilliantly lit where it needs to be, capturing the intensity and the softness of the movie at the same time. You can tell they really thought about the cinematography on this one. It helps set the dreary tone for the movie and works on every level. Newton Thomas Sigel serves as the DP, who worked on The Usual Suspects and the X-Men movies. This seems to be his first attempt at an art-house type shots, but he nailed it. If there will be any Oscar nods to this movie, I hope cinematography is one of them. Easily one of the years best.
ACTING- Performances in this movie are dead on. Nothing seems out of place or out of character. It's like pieces of a clock, everything fits together and everything works in unison, which makes everything work on a larger scale, as this movie does. Carey Mulligan and Ryan Gosling are excellent in the screen time they share together, they have a certain troubled chemistry, but it works rather well. Even the unlucky character played by Bryan Cranston is phenomenal in the screen time he has interacting with Gosling, Brooks, and others. Overall, I wasn't disappointed.
WRITING- The movie is adapted from the book "Drive" by James Sallis, which I havent read, so I don't know how the film compares to the book. Oscar nominated screenwriter Hossein Amini (The Wings of The Dove- 1997) took the task of adapting the book into the screenplay. Having not read the book, I can only imagine that Amini captured the essence of the book and only breathed life into the characters as the writer, James Sallis, intended. Certain dialogue and interactions have this uneasiness and awkwardness to it, which I know some people won't like, but for me, it fits and even sets the tone perfectly. The pacing may also be too slow for some, but the bursts of intensity only amplifies the importance of those slow moments. I think the pace wouldn't work as well any other way. It's in those slow moments that characters can really shine and develop, as well as help set the mood. The suspense and thrill with the soft and subtle undertones of the atmosphere work flawlessly together. It's a perfect blend.
DIRECTING- Nicolas Winding Refn serves as the director and IMDB reveals that he hasn't really been a director in anything nearly as big as this. I recognize Valhalla Rising- 2009, but haven't seen that one. Outside of that, I have to say this is a crowning achievement for him. Being able to handle such a big name cast and work on the scope and scale that this movie presents itself in is truly remarkable. I hope he keeps this up, I would certainly be looking forward to seeing future projects by him.
SCORE/SOUNDTRACK- This is probably one unique feature of the film. The songs have an 80's synth-retro vibe to it. It's modern sounds with those 80s retro bits. At the same time, there are a lot of other subtle sounds that enhance the scene or mood. Think "The Social Network". The opening of Drive is a perfect example, it has a real subtle beat playing throughout the opening sequence that's real droning and suspenseful. Those sounds working with the night time setting, low lighting, and excellent cinematography certainly flow with ease.
Although, the film itself gives off an 80's type vibe. The music, certain outfits and costume choices that have a retro feel to it, and the font to Drive. The font and music is dead give away to the 80's retro feel, the outfits/costumes are a little bit more subtle. The font is reminiscent of a John Hughes movie, like Uncle Buck or Breakfast Club. I remember reading somewhere that Refn was a fan of those 80's movies, so that could've influenced and explain those retro references and choices in Drive.
SUMMARY- Overall, the elements that I have discussed blend flawlessly together to craft one of, what I think to be, one of the top movies of the year. It's suspenseful, it's a thriller, it has well placed action, it's a disjointed drama with a fragile love story, it's hypnotic and atmospheric, it's well written, directed, shot, and acted. Even the oddly selected score/soundtrack work for it. This is certainly bound for Oscar bait and wouldn't be surprised to see a few nods. I think likely categories would be screenwriting and cinematography, but best picture, best actor (Ryan Gosling) nods aren't too far fetched, just not as likely. Going out on a limb, it's not inconceivable to see some nods for best directing (Refn) and best supporting actress (Carey Mulligan), Mulligan probably has a better chance than Refn.
If you're debating to see it or not, I say go for it. I can see why some people won't like it because of some awkward interactions, dialogue, and somewhat odd pacing, but I'm on the side that thinks it, for the most part, works better for this movie, makes it stand out and makes it unique. It contributes to the tone and setting, and most importantly, it works. Regardless, you can't deny the fact that there was a lot of effort and care that went into the making of this movie. That alone makes it stand out in all the crap and remakes that are pushed out now days. It's refreshing to see that movies like this can still be made and maybe that not all is lost just yet.
RATING- 4.5/5. I give it 4.5 because of certain (not all) dialogue awkwardness and pacing issues that do seem out of place. But those minor flaws are more than easily made up by various factors, like the excellent acting that carries those scenes, the gentle/soft interactions, the beautiful cinematography, or bursts of intensity that certainly makes up for the slow parts.

Fundamentals of Acquisitions
Six-week online course that is a basic primer for library acquisitions concepts common to all library material formats. It covers:
- goals and methods of acquiring monographs and serials in all formats
- Theoretical foundations and workflows of basic acquisitions functions
- financial management of library collections budgets
- relationships among acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers.
This course provides a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made.
In FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. In many libraries, selecting and acquiring materials may be done in the same department—in the smallest libraries perhaps even by the same person. In larger libraries, selection may be done by a collection development department and/or designated subject specialists, while a separate department acquires the selected materials. In essence, acquisitions is the business operation, bringing materials into the library and licensing access to library collections and resources.
Because success in acquisitions depends on ability to collaborate, negotiate, and be flexible to work out win-win solutions with others, this course includes collaborative and social elements.
Who Should Attend?
As a fundamentals course, FOA is tailored for librarians and paraprofessionals new to the acquisitions field; and librarians and support staff from other library units and library school or LSSC students who want to know more about acquisitions. Although FOA focuses on the acquisitions of monographs in various physical formats, it covers key components of acquisition and licensing processes for all library materials, in all formats, in all types of libraries.

New threat from N. Korea over naval drill
Statement follows lull in rhetoric
North Korea issued a new threat of military action Tuesday if "even a single shell" from U.S. and South Korean naval exercises fell within its territorial waters.
"The prevailing situation goes to prove that they are persisting in their premeditated military provocations in a bid to push the present state of war to an actual war," a statement carried by the North Korean state-run news agency KCNA.
The statement follows a lull in the heated rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang, which tested a nuclear bomb in February and sent a satellite into orbit atop a long-range rocket in December. The North said its forces "will take immediate counteractions in case even a single shell drops over the territorial waters of our side due to the enemies' provocative shelling in the southwestern waters."

Ebac Heavy Duty Dehumidifier
I have not had the product long enough to evaluate quality which can best be judged by longevity. I am using it a garage setting. As it has an industrial use rating I am expecting it to do well in this environment. I do wish it had an humidity gage.

Elmo Lemos owns this item
I chose and bought this bass after comparing it to the Fender five string standard jazz bass and the four string versions and found the Affinity five string to be equal in quality construction as the Fender versions. I am playing this bass in church services. The sound is impeccably Fender at an very economical price. It is, in my opinion, a professional quality instrument. Go ahead and buy it for your kids but if you play regularly like I do you need this instrument in your arsenal. For the price it can be your 'go to' bass if you cannot afford an American Fender.
For a standard jazz version of the Fender jazz bass it meets its big brother on sound, construction, and playability.
Very high quality.The price is far below the intrinsic value of the instrument. This is a high quality bass for the money
bradt456 owns this item
this bass is a must have! it's as good as a fender - the only problem is the fifth string is really dull because of the tuner placement. other than that it is a great five string bass.

Warren is walking again and enjoying life, Gelman said. He'll need a follow-up surgery to remove some additional skin that was damaged by his condition. Gelman will perform a skin graft to cover the penis and scrotum.
Um, what if I think I have it?
If you are experiencing the symptoms noted above, see a doctor as soon as possible. Ask for a referral to a specialist if your primary care physician is unfamiliar with these types of conditions.
An unusually large scrotum can have a variety of causes, Gelman said. One of the most common is a hernia, in which a small part of the intestines enters the scrotum. Another cause is fluid buildup on one side of a man's body between the testicle and the skin; this is called hydrocele. All are treatable and usually not life-threatening unless left too long.

Modern, clean and still cozy. Not far away from the Ueno terminal (15-20 minutes walking or two stations by subway), air conditioning a bit too loud but it works properly :-); LAN internet works perfectly though with wifi I had some problems (it was extremely slow). Worth it's value

"dogodne położenie i cudowny widok"Oceniony przez gościa grupy Hotels.com w dniu maj 9, 2012
Bardzo dogodna lokalizacja - blisko stacji metra. Niecałe 15 min pieszo do targu rybnego, a tam przed południem okazja do odwiedzenia licznych barów sushi. Zachwycił mnie widok z pokoju - przepiękna panorama miasta. Polecam serdecznie!
"Great hotel, great location"Oceniony przez gościa grupy Hotels.com w dniu kwi 17, 2012
Ginza is the place to stay when in Tokyo - elegant, packed with shops, restaurants, cafes and all other amenities. And in Ginza nothing can surpass the Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier. Price/value is excellent, staff is extremely helpful and friendly, breakfasts are great, location is perfect for all Tokyo attractions. Add superb views on either Ginza or the Sumida river and the Tokyo Bay and you know why you want to stay in this hotel. The hotel boasts great design and has great atmosphere. How about a dinner in their restaurant overlooking Tokyo? Rooms are smallish, but this is Tokyo, and their rates there is no reason to complain. Our next stay in Tokyo will be in this hotel. Perfect!

This area offers a glimpse of what life was like before the economic boom of the 1970s and 1980s. Neighboring Asakusa, it is best known for the Ameya-yokocho Arcade, a busy market with interesting stalls. Ueno-koen, a sprawling park with monuments, zoo, pagodas, and a pond, is a must-do. Museums and galleries abound in the area.

"Good location near Ueno"
The twin room was easily accommodating for two males. Except the bathroom was really tiny and took some strategic layout of body parts to ensure you fit on the toilet. Which btw was excellent. Warm seat, water spraying at everything. As for location, really close to Ueno Station, which is right next to the Zoo, a stack of museums, the Skyliner airport […] line, and also this area is quite authentic in that there are narrow roads, random little restaurants that disappear underground, and there is some fun shopping with people selling seafood, shoes, jewellery etc. I'd recommend this place.

"Great staff, mediocre establishment"
I gave 4 out of 5 overall because this place was still great value for money, despite the issues i have with the hotel. Getting there is easy. If you're coming from Narita, you can get an express direct to Ueno station, and it's just 10 min walk from there. Staff were really good, and were a big reason i still rate this place highly. All i dealt with […] spoke good enough English to complete our interactions, and all were very friendly and courteous. The hotel itself is a little dated. My toilet bidet was broken (not really a big deal though), the window was rusted shut, and the air con wasn't very good at all. Smoke smell that others have mentioned was also noticeable, too. Place is comfy though, and for the price, and location, well worth it. Location is good (there's a good market, a zoo, lots of restaurants, and convenience stores everywhere) but be warned, certain parts of Ueno get very seedy after dark. Anyway, what's seedy in Japan is still ridiculously safe, so definitely look into this place if you're coming to Tokyo. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Looking for disappointment?"
Well, here it is. I will not stay here ever again. No wifi access in the rooms or lobby. The entire building structure is old and obsolete. Rooms are filthy and the furnitures are worn maybe came from the 1970s. Check out is at an no mercy 10am morning check out. What else could you possibly ask for from a hotel?Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

"Central location hotel for sight-seeing"
I was exploring Tokyo on my own for three days on a business trip layover. Decided to go with a cheap, decent hotel in a central location, and that's how I ended up with the Ueno Terminal Hotel. Easy to get to the hotel from the aiport by train (via Keisei Line). It was about a 1/4 mile walk from the train station to the hotel. The room was tiny, but […] served its purpose - a clean and quiet place to rest after full days of sight-seeing. Air conditioning could have been a bit colder - it didn't seem to go very high and Tokyo was hot and humid in July. Room window faced another building wall via a very narrow (3 feet?)alley, but again, I wasn't there all day needing natural light in the room. Bathroom looked like it was a pre-fabricated unit dropped into the hotel room; there was a higher step to get into the bathroom. Bathroom was complete with toilet, sink and bathtub. Bathtub was narrow and small. Toiletry products were provided (shampoo, condition, body wash in pump containers) and were good quality. Toothbrush & toothpaste also provided. Free internet, but you had to get a new password each day. There was a TV in the room, but I never turned it on. Front desk staff spoke limited English.

"location, neighbourhood"
it's good, liked it. Room is small as expected, short fall is fridge is useless, couldn't keep things cool, wasted milk, no cold drinks possible. Wifi is reasonable. Ueno is a market area, groceries are easy to get, like it because it's down to earth local, not touristicPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Convenient hotel close to Ueno station"
This hotel has a very convenient location, two blocks from Ueno station, where one arrives on the Kansei line from Narita airport. It is also within walking distance of Ueno park and the museums there, as well as the Ueno market area. A little further is Asakusa. The staff were particularly helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable, despite being […] a bit small (I guess this is normal for Tokyo). The downsides are that the wireless password is changed daily, and that they are strict about when visitors must leave the room for it to be cleaned. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"My worst experience as a traveller."
I regret that I stayed in this hotel. Free wifi lured me there and they made it available. The room was too small. I requested for non smoking but I doubt if there was a no smoking room. Once you enter their premises you will start to smell cigarette. I should have stayed in my hotel at Narita and then take the train to Tokyo and return later in the […] day. Next time I will rather stay in a better hotel without wifi than to stay at this hotel. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Good cheap place for sleep"
No frill accommodation near Ueno station. Room was reasonable for price paid. Obviously there isn't a lot of room but that's to be expected. I stayed for 6 nights. Pro: location, customer service Con: my fridge didn't really work, no laundry service on site - the closest coin laundry was a 10 mins walk. Need better pillow.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Good hotel in a great location."
The Staff was very friendly and helpful, even though their English was limited. The hotel is looking a little tired, but the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and all facilities worked nicely. The Wi-Fi was not consistent and weak at times. Changing the password everyday was a little annoying especially when you were given the wrong password […] (only happened once). :) I could not smell cigarette smoke in my room or hallway but when you got into the lift, that was a different matter. The room and bathroom is small but this is the standard for Japan at this price. The hotel is in a fantastic location, a 5 minute walk from Ueno station and subway and lots of eateries. However, it is in small lane and can be easily missed if you don't keep your eyes open. Get a good map and count the lanes carefully. Look for the Pronto restaurant on the corner, the hotel is next door. I would use this hotel again. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Ueno Terminal Hotel"
Upon arrival, my room was being cleaned so I had to wait for 20mins although I was told 2hrs but je speeded it up for me and gave me some lotion packets as a gift. Lounge area is nice and there was a sushi restaurant at the basement. Hotel is small but staff service is very good and friendly. I didn't know Japan used only 2-pin plug so when I sought […] help, a very kind and helpful lady provided me with one, and she spoke Chinese too. Room is small but cozy with working airconditioning + heating system + fridge. They provide hair dryer but not water though. Toilet has all the necessary items. Everyday they will make up room when you are out even tidy your other things. Ueno station is located only 5mins walking distance and very convenient to go anywhere. Overall very good experience with the hotel and this was my first time in Japan. Would definitely go back there again! Thumbs up! Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Easy, Convenient, and Comfortable"
This was a nice hotel for the price. As others have said, the single room is a bit small, and my window view was of the side of a building. Overall though, it was a nice experience. Internet was good, the staff fixed up the room/bathroom every afternoon, the location was very close to the Ueno subway station (itself a convenient stop for the Keisei […] Skyline train from Narita airport), amenities such as 7-11 located nearby, good quality television set, relatively quiet, etc etc. The surrounding area of Ueno was nice as well, containing Ueno Park (with the zoo and National Museum) and local "black" markets (the only place where I found cheap sushi to eat). Shinjuku/Shibuya were only about 30-40 minutes by subway. Negatives: As others have mentioned, the staff's English was not excellent but serviceable. Wi-fi passwords needed to be obtained at the front desk every day. Overall, a very nice hotel. I had a pleasant experience. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Ueno terminal hotel"
Hotel rooms in Tokyo or Japan for that matter aren't very big. So dont be suprised! The bed tends to be hard. Tiny washroom but there was a bathub, and plenty of hot water. I had trouble connecting to the internet from my room, but a laptop at the lobby is available with access to the internet. They have two restaurant attached to the building, one […] is western style with a pretty good pita pizza. The second is Japanese. The location is a short walk from the UENO train station (5 min walk). The staff were great. Japanese people are the most honest people you will ever meet in your life.

"No guests allowed"
Pros: the hotel is in a quieter area. Close to Ueno Station, and the Skyliner station. Close to Ueno Park, and the museums. very cheap pricing for Tokyo. Cons: Tiny room. bathroom was so small I had to keep the door open to easily move around. there is a very strict no guest policy, so keep that in mind if you plan on bringing someone back. the staff […] pretty much barricaded the hallway when I attempted this. kind of far from Shinjuku, Ginza, Shibuya, Roppongi, and you have a 40 minute train ride to get there. No real night life unless if you enjoy pachinko. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia

"Close to Ueno JR station, but has drawbacks..."
If you don't like cigarette smoke, this is not the hotel for you because smokers and non-smokers are put on the same floor, so the odor comes through the vertical sides of the door, therefore putting a towel at the bottom of the door won't block the odor. Older hotels such as this one, do not find it cost-effective to hardwire the Internet connection, […] and this hotel's unencrypted wireless connection was slow and often dropped the connection. There was a stagnant odor in the bathroom, most probably from the shower curtain. The staff was very efficient and courteous, but spoke limited English. There are no convenience stores nearby, so you have to go to the station which is also a shopping center. If you don't have a suitcase, this hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the JR station, and about 10 minutes if you have to wheel a suitcase along your side.

"Fantastic Convenient Location & Free Fast WiFI"
I was a sole female traveller to Tokyo. The location of the Hotel was fantastic (right near Ueno Station). The area felt safe and there was lots to do. My room was exceptionally small however, it contained everything I needed and was clean. The free WiFI was fast and worked well (one of my main reasons for picking this hotel) however, you needed to […] obtain a new password everyday from reception which was a pain. Despite having a non smoking room, I could frequently smell smoke (I think coming through my door from the other rooms). All staff were friendly.

"A clean, comfortable and convenient hotel"
I was very pleased with my stay in the Ueno Terminal Hotel. From other reviews I had read I was expecting it to have very small rooms and to be just average with regard to comfort, but I was delighted with every aspect of the room, hotel facilities and the kind, efficient and prompt service of the staff. Travelers unfamiliar with the Far East might […] well find the rooms small, but this is common throughout the region. I am over 6 foot tall and found my room perfectly comfortable. The bath room was also small but I had no problem in using it. Rooms are also cleaned and tidied daily (I was there for three nights). When I wanted an extra pillow and blanket, my request was dealt with within 5 or 10 minutes. There is a branch of the Pronto chain of cafes attached to the hotel (by an adjoining door) and they serve an excellent set breakfast (4 choices) all at prices which are very reasonable, and cheaper than many similar establishments in Europe for example. The cafe also serves excellent evening meals up until mid-evening. I did not try the Japanese restaurant in the basement, because it was quiet and deserted, and I like company when I'm travelling alone. The hotel only 5 or 10 minutes walk from Ueno station (Asakusa exit, straight along the Asakusa road, second right, then walk a few blocks). I shall certainly be using the hotel again, for the price is also reasonable for Japan (and you get a special discount if you book for 3 nights or more).

"Great location, not a bad hotel either."
First of all Ueno is a fantastic location to stay in due to it being a major transportation hub in Tokyo. This hotel was a five minute walk to the stations and made getting around Tokyo very easy for me. The hotel was clean and my room was cleaned to a good standard daily. The staff were friendly although I'm not sure if they speak good English as I […] speak Japanese well enough to avoid language barriers. The room was fairly average, nothing special. You can use wi-fi in your room but the hotel has a strange policy requiring you to ask for a new password everyday. My only complaint would be that the pillow the hotel provided was not very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again but I would bring my own pillows this time. It seems to be a trend with Japanese hotels though. They only provide one pillow and it's not usually a terrifically comfortable pillow. So I would seriously suggest you consider bringing your own.

"Great hotel for a single traveler"
Great hotel in a terrific location. Only a 5 minute walk from Ueno station, where you can get anywhere in Tokyo/take the shinkansen and a 7 minute walk from Keisei Ueno station where you can get to Narita. Staff is very helpful, the wifi passwords change every day at like 11 am but it's not too big of a deal. Room is very small and minimal but the bathroom […] is super clean with an awesome toilet. There is a Pronto restaurant attached to the hotel. If you're just looking for a room and don't want to live in a hostel/capsule hotel then this is a great place to consider.

"Great location"
Struggled to find it (exiting central Ueno then over the passenger bypass seems simple enough but not when there are several!) but have since found a better map on the hotel website which should be helpful to fellow travellers. Staff were always courteous and friendly. Room was average sized with a TV, fridge, toiletries and daily yukata & slippers. […] I requested non-smoking but you could smell smoke throughout the hotel, not a huge issue but may be to some. Room was cleaned daily with fresh towels & bedding to a good standard. For the money and closeness to the subway & train stations, I think the hotel is great. I'm a single female traveller and never once felt unsafe. Wi-fi was a bit up and down, not the best signal but considering it's free, can't moan too much!There are a couple of handy convenience stores very local to the hotel as well.

"Decent hotel, close to Ueno station"
We had great difficulty finding our hotel, although it's only a five minute walk from Ueno station. It's down a very quiet, side street off a busy junction and the hotel itself is not easily identified (for English speakers, at least). Finding places in Tokyo's notoriously awkward zoning system is not easy. Despite the short distance from the station, […] we should have taken a taxi. The hotel itself is fine and the room was a good deal larger than others we stayed at in Japan, although the price was a good deal higher, too. The staff were not as polite or helpful as the staff we met in other hotels and not many spoke English. We're not sure whether this is a problem with the hotel or typical of Tokyo service standards.

"Easily accessible but not well-maintained"
Hotel can be easily located but isn't well-maintained. At first night, the toilet shower (automatic spray that cleanses your bottom) had already malfunctioned, I was switched to another room the next day (but I always smell fumes inside my room after moving to the 5/F). Then at my 4th night, after flushing the toilet, the water just kept on running, […] making noises the whole night. I'd have asked them to fix it but it's well past midnight & I was exhausted, so I just left it till the next morning. Though a hotel staffer did help me fix it afterwards but frankly a simple verbal sorry isn't good enough. Overall the hotel staff are all quite helpful - one helped me locate the nearest ATM online, and another helped me lift my luggage from the entrance down the road. If I do revisit Ueno, probably I wouldn't stay at this hotel again because it's poorly maintained. It's also stingy for the hotel just to provide a jar of hot water (not an electric pot for boiling water) & if you ask for a refill in the morning, then that's what you get for the remaining day, so do buy your own drinks before heading back to the hotel. Also the small fridge inside my room isn't cold enough. Having said the above, I did like having WiFi inside my room very much because even in some Japanese business hotels, there's only WiFi in the hotel common area.

Two problems - Very noisy as they have a thin wall and a cleaning lady always started making noises by […] shutting the doors pretty loud around 7am. The heater was shut off at least several times a day and I had to call the desk to have it fixed. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Simple and basic accommodation with friendly staff"
Was put on the smoking floor as the majority of the hotel was full, comfortable bed and small room but as to be expected for Tokyo.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Great hotel for the price"
I was only in Tokyo for a few days so this hotel was perfect for me. The room was extremely small but it had everything a person would need. It's also located only 5 minutes away from Ueno station and 15 minutes from Akihabara Electric Town by walking. I'll definitely look at staying here again.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Ok deal"
Very economy, but smaller than expected (and look from the photo)Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Good and reasonable hotel"
The hotel is located in 'Korean town' in Ueno and very close to the station. There are a lot of convenience stores and Korean style restaurants around the hotel. The hotel has a restaurant & bar on the first floor. The stuff are kind and friendly. I asked them to change my room to non-smoking room and they were willing to do so. I also asked them to […] receive my VISA mailing and they even called me when they receive it. The room was small but quiet and clean. You can use internet in your room without any charge but I could not access some sites for security reasons or something. I can recommend this hotel to my friends.

"bien situé, quartier calme, chambres bof"
Très proche de la gare JR de Ueno. Quartier très calme. Pas le grand luxe pour les chambres, juste ce qu'il faut pour dormir. Pas de wifi. La chambre peut être très bruyante (personnes parlant dans les chambres voisines ou dans le couloir. Aucune vue depuis la fenêtre.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

"좀 좁지만, 숙소로서는 최적"
체크인 과정 친절, 위치는 우에노역에서 걸어서 3~4분(우에노 역 앞 큰 육교를 내려가면 호텔 간판이 보임), 인터넷 사용은 카운터를 통해 비밀번호를 알아가는 무선인증 방식, 전체적으로 좀 좁지만 여행과정에서 숙박만 해결한다고 생각하면 최적의 조건이 아닌가 생각됨(가격저렴, 인터넷 원할, 캡슐과 일반호텔 사이 가격으로 프라이버시 지키고, 맘편히 지낼 수 있음), 청소 정말 깔끔히 잘 해주심!Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

Leading by Example: 7 Ways to Get Fit and Healthy with Your Kid
I'm not the kind of parent to put my kid on a diet or restrict him from eating. And I'm not the kind of parent who forces their kid to eat everything on their plate. But, my husband and I both have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I don't want any of that for my son. I want him to grow up to be a healthy young man who knows how to make responsible choices. I want to be healthy for as long as I can. But, I am not planning anything drastic. Like I said, I want my son to be able to make responsible choices and I need to lead by example. It's time break out of my bad habits before it's too late. These are 7 simple things I'm going to do to get fit and healthy with your kids. - By Lisa Quinones-Fontanez
