The building looks historic from the outside, but the interior of the rooms seems to have been renovated and has a functional and comfortable layout.The bed was so comfortable that I always woke up several times during the night, but I thought it was great that I was able to sleep soundly until morning.There are several staff here who are very hospitable.I felt at ease in the atmosphere where it was easy to talk.Reservations are also required for breakfast.You can choose Japanese or Western food instead of buffet style.I was very satisfied with this breakfast.I was able to spend a fulfilling day with this breakfast.The response from the staff was also great.I'm happy with the customer service, which is neither excessive nor insufficient.We used the paid parking lot next door.The parking fee is paid in advance at the front desk.You need to be careful about the check-in and check-out times.The downside is the elevator.There is only one unit, so it may be difficult to use it depending on the time of day.

It was a nice small hotel. Although it was a little far from the station, it was convenient for going out for drinks. Unfortunately, there were no slippers in the room and they were left behind, and the breakfast rice was too soft.

I stayed here on a trip to Iwate. The room was clean and comfortable with no noise at all.This time, the weather was very bad, so I came from Akita and headed back to Akita, so I got caught up in the rush hour, so I feel like I was disappointed in the location, but I would like to use it the next time I come back to Iwate.

When I go to a rural area, I want to stay at a hotel that lets me feel the culture and history unique to the area. If you are staying in Morioka, the Kita Hotel is the best option. The room is not large and there is no public bath, but it has a different value.

I've been using it since it was renovated because it goes well with the chic room and bed.Equipment is also available in the room.This was my first overnight trip since I injured my foot in a long time, so I was a little nervous, but the bed remained a good fit and I was able to sleep comfortably. (The compatibility of the bed is just my personal opinion)If I didn't have plans to eat breakfast outside, I would have loved to try Kama's Japanese breakfast.I felt confident that I was able to stay overnight even though I had injured my leg.I will also be staying at the Kita Hotel, which is located in the center of my favorite Morioka town.

If you are traveling by car, this is the place to stay at a business hotel in central Morioka.Although it is a little far from Morioka Station, it is superior in terms of cost among business hotels located in the center. The exterior looks old, but the interior is very clean. If you are traveling by car, we recommend this hotel considering the rooms and cost.There are many restaurants nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding dinner.
