Early April 2024 WeekdaysAffiliated parking lot available■TwinI stay here every time I go drinking in Hirosaki. Although it's a little far from the izakaya area, there aren't many drunk people around the hotel, so it's not noisy.Although it is cheap, the rooms are quite good. The toilet and bath seem old, but considering the price, it's within an acceptable range.You can purchase 500ml of natural water for 100 yen at the front desk.The welcome drink is either apple juice (produced in Aomori Prefecture) or coffee. Apple juice is recommended.There are two affiliated parking lots: Dotemachi multi-level parking lot and Times Chuo Hirosaki Station parking lot. 500 yen per night. In the three-dimensional room, the ceiling is low and the aisles are narrow.

The door to the women's only floor was so loud that I couldn't sleep. It's worst if the room is near the door. In the morning, I went downstairs during breakfast time and heard the sound of the door opening and closing, then the sound of the lock clanging and the door closing...the sound echoed through the floor and reached my room, so I couldn't sleep because it was so noisy. .
