The view from the room was good as it was close to the station, but the noise from the next room was a concern.

Located 1 minute walk from Sakata Station.It's cheap, very clean, and includes breakfast.Moreover, the breakfast is buffet style, and you can enjoy local gourmet foods such as Sakata ramen!Dinner is also at the same venue.If you made a reservation, you could eat there even if it wasn't included in your accommodation plan.I liked it so much that I plan to stay there again next month!

It is located in front of Sakata Station and has a bus terminal, so transportation access is very good. However, the bus routes in Sakata are difficult, there are many bus stops, and the routes are complicated, so you need experience points to ride them. The hotel was built on the initiative of Sakata City, and was introduced by the mayor, and there is also a library and tourist information center next door. There are also condominiums attached, which is probably part of the city's planning. The hotel is comfortable, and you can see a variety of books in the lobby. If there was a hot spring, there would be no complaints. Also, unfortunately, there was no convenience store and the surrounding shops were closed at 10pm. It's a little far from the city center, and there are a lot of nice izakayas lined up in the town of Sakata. Sakata wanted to come visit again. Breakfast has a wide variety of options, including Sakata ramen and freshly baked omelets. The mild soup of morning larks soaks into your body like miso soup. The room was nice and clean, but I chose a room on the lower floor, but I think I could get some change even if I enjoyed the view on the upper floor. The hotel was more than worth the price.

A luxurious hotel. The building and rooms are clean. It looks especially great at night. Directly connected to the library. 15 minutes walk to the nearest convenience store. There are not many stores near Sakata Station.

I stayed in a comfortable room.The room has an outdoor unit, but the noise didn't particularly bother me. Although you cannot see Mt. Chokai in its entirety, you can see the cityscape.I stayed overnight without meals, but there was a Family Mart nearby and a supermarket and ramen shop behind the station, so I didn't have any problems finding food.The toilet, shower and bathtub were clean and comfortable.

The hotel is located in a general building in front of the station, so you take your luggage off the car at the rotary and park your car in an outdoor coin parking lot about 5 minutes away.This will be a hassle.Welcome coffee ☕ is on the left side of the hotel counter, but there is no guidance. After that, what is the failure?It's better to think of it as a slightly better version of a business hotel.If you take the train, it is easily accessible from the station.

I arrived by car, but couldn't find the hotel entrance, so I checked with the front desk. Thank you for your careful explanation.It is located in a complex facility (library, etc.) in front of the station. There is a parking lot for guests only, a few minutes walk away.The breakfast buffet was delicious and the facility was clean.I would like them to sell the diffusers installed in the facility.
