Tokyu Stay Okinawa Naha
Would recommend. Especially if staying for a while. No bells and whistles but a solid and cozy choice. Parking is available in attached garage but not solely dedicated to hotel. The only issue we had with it was one night during a huge annual festival in the neighborhood, ended up having to park ...
