I was walking the Tokaido from Tokyo to Kyoto when I stayed at Toyoko Inn Shizuoka Shimizu Ekimae. It was the night of New Year's eve, so there were tons of guests. Check-in was slow because of this, and there were only 3 staff to accommodate everyone checking in. I think I had to wait about 15 minutes to get checked in. The staff were friendly, though. And the check-in process was painless. The location of the hotel was right off the kaido, and located close to a station, restaurants and convenience stores, so it was perfect for me. I didn't have a lot of options of where to stay, and being a long-distance walker, I do have to say that I wish Toyoko Inns offered public bathing areas. Nearly all the Route Inns I've stayed at have them, and nothing in this area (near the Tokaido) offered reasonable rates for a room with a bath (bigger than a bath TUB, which is acceptable, but not my first choice). But a hearty breakfast was included, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, seemed new.
