The building and equipment are a bit old, but are kept well-maintained. The customer service of the staff is also good. The location of the hotel is also good. Breakfast is delicious with a wide variety of small dishes made with local ingredients in addition to standard dishes.

A city hotel near Yamagata Station.It seemed that there were several overnight stays for club activities, and the banquet halls were all used as dining venues for them.The local specialty imoni served at breakfast was delicious.

Breakfast was delicious. Next time, instead of staying overnight for business, I wanted to go on a personal trip where I could have more time and enjoy a leisurely breakfast.

Accommodation period: September 2024Reservation grade: (non-smoking) single roomAssigned room: 11F*Since I spend about 150 nights a year both in Japan and overseas, this is mostly a memo for myself. The main things to focus on are bathing, gym, and laundry. I don't really care about cleanliness.■OverviewThis is a hotel where you can be completely satisfied with the overall quality of the staff, the level of breakfast, and the comfort of the rooms. The location is not particularly inconvenient, and it is not far from Yamagata Station. Even though it is a discount plan for consecutive nights on Sunday and Monday, the quality + breakfast included for 5,500 yen per night is amazing. If I have a chance to visit Yamagata again, I would love to stay with you again.■LocationAbout 10 minutes walk from Yamagata Station. The hotel is located on the edge of the downtown area in front of Yamagata Station, so the area around the hotel is rather quiet. Once you get to the station, you won't have any trouble finding many restaurants, bars, and shops. There is no convenience store nearby, and you have to walk for about 5 minutes to get to the nearest one. However, there is a large supermarket in the basement of the Yamako Building behind the hotel, where you can purchase beer and side dishes at low prices until 8:30 p.m.■Indoor-WidthClean and spacious enough.-sceneryThere are few tall buildings around the hotel, and due to the structure of the hotel, the guest rooms are only above the 5th and 6th floors, so basically every room seems to have a good view. (I stayed on the 11th floor, which had a very clear view and I was able to see far into the distance, which was nice)-WifiActual measurement around 40Mb/s-bathtubNarrow(I'm 175cm so I have to bend my legs quite a bit)-Hot water temperatureNo problem at all, piping hot water comes out.-Power of hot waterNo problems at all, it's quite powerful-Bed hardnessneither hard nor soft-refrigeratorSlightly smaller, the limit for 1.5 liter size plastic bottles is two.-Security boxnone-OutletIt's on the deskIt's not on the bedside, so it's a little inconvenient to not touch your smartphone while lying down.-hangerthree-balconynone-tv setcan be-dryercan be-toothbrushcan be-Noise (adjacent room, outdoor)No disturbing noise from neighboring rooms or outdoors■Gymnone■LaundryCoin laundry facilities are available within the hotel.There are 3 old washing machines (washing: 200 yen), 2 new multifunctional machines (washing: 300 yen), and 3 dryers. *See photoThere were a lot of cars so it was never crowded.■CleaningNothing of particular concern.You can choose whether or not you need to change bed sheets, towels, and pajamas, but even if you don't need to change them, there's no special benefit.■MealsBuffet style. Yamagata's local cuisine is available in a wide variety and is wonderful.■Staffwonderful. The service at the front desk, as well as at the breakfast venue, was kind and polite. I get the impression that the staff is well-trained, perhaps because the hotel also has a wedding hall attached. I consulted on a somewhat irregular matter, but I was grateful for their willingness to respond.■Others・To get to Zao Onsen, you can take the "Z90/C2" bus from Yamagata Station or Center-mae bus stop. Transportation IC cards and VISA touch cards can also be used. It is closer to the center from the hotel, but it is safer to take the train from Yamagata Station as you will often board the train at the first train, Yamagata Station.

I've always been interested in this hotel because of its lunch buffet.I had some business nearby and stayed here.The Yamako Bus Terminal is just across the road, making it a very convenient location.Although the rooms are old, they are well-cleaned.The breakfast buffet is worth mentioning.Curry with Yamagata beefOmelette with Dadacha beansChrysanthemum riceBoiled AkebiTama konnyakuShine MuscatComparison of tasting grapes produced in Yamagata, etc.You can enjoy Yamagata's specialties that match the season.Imoni is also very delicious!The staff will serve you the imoni and curry.Here, you won't find that if you go a little late, you won't have the stewed sweet potatoes, which is common at breakfast buffets at hotels in Yamagata.All the food looked delicious, so I ended up taking too much.The staff are kind and the hotel is comfortable.
