    Didn't meet anybody that could speak English, but managed just fine with me elementary Japanese. It's too bad that the AC can't run when you're not in the room, because it needs the room key in the thing on the wall.

    Very nice and clean and comfortable rooms, very nice staff, the location is good and vretty close to the train station and there's restaurants and convenience stores close by. Really liked stayinf here and absolutely would come back. A cute little restaurant at the ground floor with some more traditional foods/dishes from Akita, as well as other dishes. Very good!

    Breakfast was not included. There was only one pillow per guest. They need to provide at least 2 pillows per guest. The pants press was useless. They might as well just provide an iron and ironing board.

    Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Very clean. Good location, close to the train station. There’s a hamper for guests to use at the laundromat. That’s a simple but considerate touch that I appreciated.

    We stayed one night as a family. Everything was okay and the hotel was clean. No smoke smell. No noise. Darkness at night. Kid safe room. Cleanness. Many complimentary items like Akita bath salts. I recommend it to families with small kids. Senshu Park is the best place for kids in Akita, it's in walking distance.

    The bed and pillows were a little uncomfortable. It would’ve been great to be given one more pillow per person.

    The property was in a great location and very quiet. It was close to the station but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the station. It was less than a 5 minute walk from lots of restaurants and shops. The breakfast every morning was delicious and had a different selection on both days that we stayed there. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

    The room is spacious, considerably big for Japan standard. The bed quite big. Our room have 3 beds, but it sufficient with our family. I personally love their amenities, especially their in-house toiletteries (shampoo and body wash etc). And the staff also very friendly and accomodating towards tourist. Definitely will come here again some day!

    Rooms were modern, a reasonable sized by Japanese standards with all the facilities and amenities required. Bathroom was typically small however more than adequate. Very good breakfast with a range of Japanese and Western foods. The hotel is a short walk from the station, less than 10 minutes. Easy walk to all the main sightseeing places.
