About 5 minutes walk from the west exit of JR Akita Station. A hotel that is a step above other hotel chains.Brightly lit, spacious and clean rooms and bathrooms. Even single rooms come with 2 face towels.The quality of the equipment (hair dryer) and amenities (especially towels and toothbrushes) is good.Standard check-out time is 11:00, but members can extend the check-out until 12:00 (free of charge).Breakfast is a buffet style mainly based on Japanese food, and the quality and taste are perfect.There is a waste-free service where you can exchange unused breakfast tickets for original cakes, etc.All the staff, from the front desk to the restaurant to the parking lot, were kind, courteous, and had a good impression.Overall the quality exceeds the price.

Used the night before the Gono Line trip. Although it is small, it is a clean and relaxing hotel close to the station. There are a lot of inbound tourists, so it's nice that it's reasonably busy.

Stayed in a twin room for 2 nights. The firmness of the guest room bed is also perfect. The bathroom is also spacious. The shampoos kept in the room are made by MIKIMOTO. Amenity buffet is also available. Breakfast is delicious, with Akita's famous dagojiru, junsai, tonburi, and other side dishes mainly Japanese. Other Korean chive pancakes too. Breakfast is recommended.

[Warning] There are not many coin laundry facilities.One of the four drum-type units is out of order (as of September 2024). The instructions said, ``We will introduce you to other coin laundromats,'' but they all required you to use your car.Once the line is blocked, you may have to wait up to 2 hours.If you are planning to use the service, please hurry to the laundry room on the 5th floor immediately after checking in.

Even though I made a reservation on the same day, was it because it was a chain restaurant? …

I stayed here on a business trip.All the facilities were excellent.Specifically, the size of the bathroom and bathtub, the abundance of amenities, the permanent installation of various chargers, the number of outlets, the size of the room, and the access to the station.I am very satisfied with the above.
