[Ed. Note: Jaunted contributor AJ McGuire recently finished a tour of Osaka and reported back to us on the town's changing love hotel scene. But today, we have a treat. A normal, non-love hotel. Enjoy.]

Yeah, I know. Its not like the NY Times Food and Wine section is reviewing local Burger Kings but think of the context. This is Osaka and thus we've passed through the looking glass and lodging in a Comfort Hotel is now exotic.

Is your B.S. detector going off yet? No? Good, stay with me. The true beauty of the Comfort Hotel Shinsaibashi is that it's exactly what it says on the label: a budget-priced, American-style hotel right in the middle of South Osaka's main nerve for drinking, eating, clubbing, shopping and all the other ways to lose your sense and your travel budget.
