You can't choose between heating and cooling. Be careful when using it in spring and autumn.

A fraudulent hotel where 3/4 of the advertised parking lots can only be parked until morning.Moreover, even though it is far from the station, there is no parking lot on the premises.It takes 10 minutes on foot to find a parking lot where large vehicles can be parked.completely fooling the customersIf you want to park your car without inconvenience, the hotel behind the station is the place to go.A considerable number of cars can be parked on the premises of hotels in that area.Also, the cleaning was quite adequate, and the water from the humidifying air purifier in the room was not thrown away.A spider came out from inside and I couldn't help but laugh.Also, the windows are full of mold and the equipment is old and the room vibrates and is quite noisy.I'll never stop again

I stayed alone, but the room was quite large with a queen bed and was clean.There are three parking lots with plenty of space.The reception at the front desk is normal and safe.

Common in local cities, we put a little effort into it! It's a business hotel. Both store facilities are old, but they are well-managed, so I don't think it's bad. The room is quite large.Meanwhile, the thing that bothers me is... First of all, the entire building smells like cigarettes. Although it can't be helped that the smoking rooms smell like cigarettes, it's unusual for hotels these days to have the smell in the public spaces as well. It's best to avoid it if you don't like smoking.The next weak point of old hotels is the standard air conditioner. Although it does come with a controller, it is not a separate air conditioner, so it cannot be controlled directly. Also, the water area is also poor.Furthermore, the breakfast buffet is not good enough. As expected, it's better than Toyoko, but to be honest it's inferior to hotels in the Mizusawa area in both quality and quantity, so if you're somewhere between Kitakami City and Oshu City and value breakfast, the Mizusawa area is the place to be. Maybe you'll be happier if you get a hotel in the middle of the day?

It's close to the station and there's plenty of parking!Breakfast is reasonably priced, which is a blessing for businessmen.There is a drugstore nearby, making it convenient to buy drinks.
