I think the location is a corporate strategy, but I think it's good. It's right near the station.The location is good, so I think that's the only good thing about it.It's an area where snow can accumulate up to 1 meter, so I think the location is good. I guess it's due to the location.However, since it is on the east side, there are almost no bars or bars. Nothing.Convenience store is also far away.There are many bars on the west side.There is an apartment in front of me, so if I don't close the curtains at night, I can see inside the room.The hotel is located in a complicated area, so getting there can be a bit of a hassle.I often see people leaving positive reviews after traveling to the countryside and feeling excited, but objectively speaking, the service shows all the bad things about the countryside, and it is a condensed version of the service. And it really sucked.It felt like an anachronism, and I was stunned to find out that it was from this day and age.Anyway, it's just a hassle.This is the first time I've been to such a bad hotel and I'm really surprised.From a general perspective, I thought that the fact that the employee was an old woman was the root of the problem.There were no young people.Young people don't want to work in a workplace like this.It felt like a gathering of similar people.There was nothing nice about the elderly.It just feels disgusting.The front desk was the worst.As others have written about, the customer service level was terrible and at an all-time low.I wonder if there's no shame in feeling like that.It's far from a service industry.It might be better for your mental stability if you don't deal with them at all. Because that's the kind of hotel it is.Wi-Fi is almost disconnected in the guest rooms, and the service does not seem to be working.As others have written, it just cuts off and doesn't connect.The room key is also ridiculously large and difficult to use.You have to go to the first floor to use the coin laundry, and there's no detergent, so it's difficult to use.The number of units is also small. It's the worst because you can't use it unless you go into the bathroom.How much do you want to increase the guest room turnover rate?It's usually on a floor somewhere, in a room with laundry or vending machines.Vending machines, microwave ovens, etc. are all used once.There was a microwave next to the lobby, which I thought was common sense.Even though it's small, it's small.Is there any meaning behind the lobby being so small?Vending machines are also expensive.I was surprised.The bed mat was not a trendy bed mat like other business hotels, but an old-fashioned metal mat with a hard, uniform surface, so the quality of my sleep was very poor.Don't imagine it as a comfort hotel bed mat.As others have written, I haven't seen a hotel with such hard mats in a long time.The walls are thin, so as others have written, you can hear a lot of noise.As others have written, I was also concerned about the smell in the room.The only space to put your luggage is on the desk, unless you put it on the floor, so it's a small and inconvenient room.For some reason, the toilet made a dripping sound even though the water had been collecting for about an hour after flushing, and when I used it before going to bed, it was so noisy that I had trouble sleeping.I felt that the building was old.The power of the refrigerator was too weak, probably due to management issues, and the products I put in the frozen section melted, which was terrible.The air conditioner was also not very effective.It looked quite old.The breakfast buffet starts at 06:30, and it's so crowded that you have to wait in line, so you end up wasting your time before you eat. Anyway, the customer base is mostly elderly.Many of the workers are elderly people.It takes time anyway.If you go around 8:30, some ingredients will be gone, so it's difficult to know what to do.It wasn't me, but when a customer asked if they had yogurt, they bluntly told them, "We're out of stock."It was unpleasant to hear.As others have written, the place is so small that it can be stressful.It is natural that there is no greeting.The taste was delicious.The buffet seemed to have two fixed menus that changed daily.It's so small that it's so crowded, so I wish they would open from 06:00.There are no convenience stores around, so I guess I'll have to stay at a hotel.There's only a pachinko parlor nearby.There's also a microwave on the first floor.The public bath was on the first floor, so there was no feeling of openness.There is only a small fence outside the window, so I feel that there is a lack of security awareness.The area is small, and it is not an open-air bath.Was there any point in making it?There is only one elevator, so it gets crowded. It's tough for both of us with luggage.Mornings are the worst.Even though it's in the countryside, the inside of the hotel feels quite small overall. Smaller than hotels in the city.Be careful when passing by people.I don't want to stay in a place like this in winter.I wonder why they chose this design.I cannot recommend it at all as a place to stay while traveling.It felt like a hotel purveyor to construction companies.Even if it's a bit expensive, I think an old-fashioned hotel with a local feel to the west of the nearby station is better.It may be old though.The parking lot is small even though it is in the countryside.There are a lot of construction-related vehicles, so I don't want to leave my private car parked there.Google's photos often show random photos that don't really look like they are of this hotel, so you should be careful.I don't think there are many customers who would read this review.It costs more than 10,000 yen on weekends.That's good business.This is 10,000 yen.It's a downturn.There was food poisoning at Route Inn Sendai Nagamachi in May 2024, but I think it's understandable.I thought the group was in bad shape.

Second visit on October 5, 2024Conveniently located next to Shinjo StationIf you walk a little, there are plenty of bars, so you can eat while walking and staying the night.Single room, non-smokingGood view on the 9th floorGood size 👍There is an artificial radium hot spring on the 1st floor that I took a bath in, but it smelled like chlorine probably because of the circulation heating.9,000 yen including breakfast and no dinnerBreakfast is buffet style and has a wide variety of items.The taste is also delicious!However, I wonder if the breakfast venue is small? That's it

You can travel from the hotel here to Ginzan Onsen, which is difficult to make reservations for, in about an hour by car.Yamagata Prefecture has good road access, including expressways and national highways, making it easy to travel between cities without traffic jams even during the holiday season.When sightseeing in Ginzan Onsen, we recommend considering this as a place to stay.
