Love hotels are so called as they are mostly used by young couples who can't get privacy at home or by Japanese sex workers. Love hotels generally have a discrete reception or even a vending machine reception. The most unique thing about love hotels is that you can choose between a rest or an overnight stay
 A rest at a love hotel is a stay of up to around 3 hours; this can be at any time of the day. Overnight stays at a love hotel generally can not be booked until 10 pm and once you vacate your room you lose the right to use it. Many love hotels are themed with romantic rooms or even popular Japanese cartoon characters like Hello Kitty. Love hotels are not commonly used by tourists as they are not very convenient if you have lots of luggage, but some backpackers have been known to make use of their cheap rates. Love hotels are often found around city centres red light districts and some more industrial type areas. Love hotels are sometimes marketed as romance hotels
