The hotel was near a wide river. There are many restaurants nearby, and parking is convenient.

Thank you for staying here for consecutive nights.The price per night was cheap compared to other APAs.This is a hotel with free parking, which is a valuable feature in APA (regular cars).The nearest station is Kaisumiyoshi Station, not Kofu Station.This hotel is far from Kofu Station and there are few trains to Kai-Sumiyoshi Station, so this hotel is suitable for those who come by car rather than by train or bus.There is a Lawson in front of the hotel, and a supermarket about 5 minutes by car. It's not a place where there are many things to do, such as eating, drinking, sightseeing, etc., so it would be difficult to do anything on foot.This time I chose a single room, and the room I stayed in was spacious and nice. Although it feels old overall, the facilities including amenities are the same as other APAs, so there is no inconvenience. There are quite a few steps to get to the indoor toilet and unit bath, so please check if you are disabled.There are lights at the entrance of the room, by the bedside, and around the desk, but there are no lights on the ceiling of the room, so the room is dark overall.There are not many electrical outlets in the room, so if you are using a computer or tablet, it would be convenient to have a power strip.If you stay multiple nights and breakfast is included, you will receive a breakfast ticket for the next day at the front desk each time. With other APAs, breakfast coupons for the number of days are automatically issued during automatic check-in, so it is a hassle.I think the restaurant at the breakfast venue has a higher level of taste than the buffet style at business hotels. There are many places like this where you pay 1,300 to 1,500 yen and are disappointed, but this place was delicious.There is only one large public bath, and the system allows men and women to switch places depending on the time of day. The bathhouse was not large, with only one bathtub and about 5 showers, but there was no strange grime floating around, and the changing area was clean and nice.The customer service from the front desk and restaurant staff was good, and the cleaning staff also greeted me, so I thought the hotel had a high level of hospitality overall.Basically, APA is aimed at businessmen, and the concept is a small room where you can sleep, with equipment within reach and a TV. I think this is the reason why there are so many low ratings from families and couples. If you want a comfortable stay in a bright, spacious room with a large bathtub and toilet, we recommend staying at a regular hotel rather than a business hotel.APA gives me peace of mind because I get the same treatment no matter where I go. I think I will use it again when I come to Yamanashi. thank you very much.

Average APA, roomsize small, beds ok, shower ok. Why do most APA's have a step up to the bathroom, it is a tripping hazard! Non inspiring location, kind of dated building. Typical pass through location. Staff were friendly at late arrival

There is a Lawson nearby which is convenient.On the last day of my stay, I realized that the trash can in the guest room, which I thought was black with a gold pattern, was actually a garbage separation sign.

I'm a 60 year old man. I forgot to ask the name of the male staff member who responded to me on the night of September 15th, but these days, as with everything, unlike in the past, there are a lot of people who respond in a cool manner, but he really responded with compassion. Thank you for doing that. it was very helpful. I would definitely like to make a reservation again. It's a good hotel.

I think it's a good hotel considering the price.It's definitely inconvenient that there's only one elevator, but if you act a little early, you won't have any problems at all.I was a little concerned that women were allowed to enter the public bath for a short period of time.Lawson is right in front of the hotel, and Family Mart is about 3 minutes walk away.If you walk for about 10 minutes, you will find Gusto and a ramen shop.Parking lot 2 is difficult to find at night, so it is safer to enter Lawson once.There are some people who are complaining a lot, but you should just spend the money and stay at Dormy Inn.Nowadays, business hotels are becoming more expensive due to inbound tourists, so I think 8,000 yen for a Saturday stay (semi-double breakfast included) is a good deal.

My husband and I stayed in a double non-smoking room, but as soon as we entered the room, there was a strong smell of cigarettes (a smell that had accumulated over the years).It seems that the non-smoking rooms were separated by floor, but the wallpaper, ceiling paper, and carpet were probably not changed as they were when it was free.I decided to give up and stay overnight since I didn't expect to find a room available on Saturday.It may not be in all rooms, but those who don't like smoking may need to be prepared for a non-smoking room.No wires to dry towels, closet extremely small, only one chair.It's a shame because I trusted him because it was an apartment.I hope it will be renovated soon.

This is the most disappointing APA hotel of the century.I realized once again that a 5 star rating is completely unreliable.I think it would be better to think of this as an APA hotel, which is a completely different hotel disguised as an APA hotel.If there is no APA name, it will definitely not come up as a candidate for accommodation lolFirst of all, the hotel in general feels old.Well, the oldness is fine, but I don't like the fact that there is only one narrow elevator for each hotel room.There are basically no restaurants around the area.There are some restaurants within a 10 minute walk, but if you don't want to bother, it's better to shop at the convenience store (LAWSON) in front of the hotel.There is only one small elevator, so it gets crowded during breakfast and check-out times, so please move early.Vending machines are only on the first floorBy the way, there is no ice maker.There is a large public bath on the first floor, but personally I don't care if it's there or not lolI don't think I'll come to a place like this and take a bath in the public bath lolWhat I thought after entering the room was... it was small! It was dark! It smelled!!!First of all, the room is too dark.I don't understand why it's so dark, but it's so dark it's frustrating.The guest room and unit bath are small.I saw a small unit bath for the first time in a while lolIt can't be helped that the guest room is small, but the unit bath is really small! It would be fine if it was just small, but it smells even worse lolThere was a sour smell of mold, ammonia, etc.Apparently, you can take a bath in the large public bath without using a unit bath lolThis smell is good for people who can tolerate it, but it may be unpleasant for those who can't stand it.It's similar to that smell you get when you wear a sweaty shirt all day lolThe shower was a type of shower where you can't adjust the temperature these days.If the shower is hot, turn on the water and let it be at the right temperature.By the way, the bed was not very comfortable either.Well, I'm only talking about the bad things, but there were also a few good things.In-room Wi-Fi speed is fast!This is a high rating pointWhen I measured the speed, it was around 150Mbps.Thank you for this! You can watch videos on your smartphone or tablet without stress.You can set the air conditioner individually!I'm so grateful for this!Most hotels like this have a centrally controlled air conditioner system, so it can be hot or cold, but I really appreciate being able to set it individually.The TV is large and easy to watch.There were some good points, so I didn't give it the lowest star rating.Lastly, there was the breakfast buffet, but it was just a normal buffet with nothing out of the ordinary.However, I have stayed at many hotels where you have to return the tableware after eating, but this is a new hotel where you have to return the tableware by yourself. I also had some experience lolSo it was an APA hotel that I would never come back to again.I do not recommend this hotel to anyone, whether you are an APA direct member or not, so I think it would be better to go to another hotel.Since I was a direct member of APA, I didn't have the trouble of looking for a place to stay one by one, so I stayed at an APA hotel that I trusted and had a good track record for, but I was completely betrayed lol.Personally, I honestly think that the price of around 3,000 yen per person per night is appropriate.

Since I made a same-day reservation and the next day was a weekday, I was able to stay cheaply.Two people stayed in a twin room, and although the room only had one key, it was not an inconvenience. The air conditioning was new and the room was clean.The public bath was also well-cleaned, and it was nice that the women's and men's lockers were different.One point of dissatisfaction? Speaking of which, the entrance smelled like curry. Maybe it's because there's a restaurant on the first floor. Or are they eating Apa curry somewhere?I didn't eat at the restaurant, but the restaurant has set meals for around 1000-1500 yen, and you can eat local food, which seems reasonable for a hotel.

There was a parking lot, but it was full, so I was directed to the back of Lawson diagonally across the street. It was a little disappointing because it was raining and I was tired.The public bath was small, but it was nice to be able to relax.

This hotel is aimed at businessmen, so women and families should avoid it.[Good points]-Air conditioner in the room works well・The refrigerator is cold enough.・There are many types of vending machines (alcohol is also available)・There is a convenience store in front of you・Free parking・The breakfast buffet has many varieties and is delicious, and the staff is polite and pleasant.・The water pressure in the shower in the large public bath is strong, and the temperature of the bathtub is just right.[Bad points]・I stayed as a couple, but it was very inconvenient because there was only one room key.・It is inconvenient because it uses an old-fashioned cylinder key and does not lock automatically.・The public bath is open to men and women, and women can only use it from 20:00 to 21:20 and from 8:30 to 10:00, so it is essentially only for men.[Summary]It's an old hotel, so the facilities in the room are old, but the interior walls and ceilings are beautiful and clean.The minimum amenities (toothbrushes, body towels, combs, razors, etc.) are provided, so there will be no inconvenience for men visiting for business purposes.Considering the price, I think it's a passable hotel, but I won't be returning.

I don't understand why it's far from the station or the shuttle service.It's a problem because the number of customers is increasing. You don't even know the difference between a tourist hotel and a business hotel...Maybe tourist hotels are expensive so you jumped at the idea of it being cheap.I used it this time on my long drive back from Kyushu. From our point of viewA cheap apartment like this while you're feeling tired(I'm very sorry) is very helpful.You can tell from the outside that they have bought and operated an old hotel, but once you get inside the room, it's APA quality. I would like to continue to take care of you.Oh yeah, if you're close to the station, you'll have to pay for parking.

First of all, there is only one elevator, which is inconvenient. . . When I tried to get off to eat breakfast, I couldn't get on and had to wait twice.As a result, I couldn't make it in time for breakfast at 8:30 a.m., and the staff gave me a disgusted look. It's my fault that I tried to go there at the last minute, but I was only 3 minutes late and the male waiter said to me, ``It's past time...'' and I said, ``I guess you can't eat. Well, that's fine.'' I said, ``That's why. It's not, but...'' was the vague answer.I'm a little disappointed.However, I am happy that I can watch as many movies as I want. The image quality was a bit... but it was within an acceptable range ☺
