There's no doubt that this is the weirdest way you'll ever be greeted at a hotel. Travel agency HIS Co. just opened their second robotically staffed Henn na hotel, and it's dinosaur-themed. Henn na roughly translates to strange, which fits the vibe of the place perfectly. The hotel is located close to Tokyo Disney Resort, which seems like an appropriate area for such a unique concept. Curious how the robots work? The hotel explains what your experience will be like on their site:
"At the front desk, you will be greeted by multi-lingual robots that will help you check in or check out. At the cloakroom, the robotic arm will store your luggage for you, and the porter robots will carry them to your room. Mechanic yet somehow human, those fun moments with the robots will warm your heart. Furthermore, once you register your face with our face recognition system, you will be free from the hassle of carrying the room key around or worrying about losing it."
Pretty wild, right? Keep reading to learn more about this bizarrely charming hotel.

The dinosaur receptionists speak many languages, so they can help out visitors from all over the world. Is this seriously real life?
