Minamiakita, JPN Accommodation

Ok, this hotel is not right off the JR Station in big bright lights but its only to blocks away tucked in off a not do busy road and you can not beat the value! The front desk staff is professionals and super friendly! The woman that checked us in worked around the language barrier with a smile! The lobby is comfortable with a seating area with a fireplace. The building is safe posted registered guests only and need room card to get elevator access. You have 3 options for housekeeping which are, no cleaning, towels/garbage collection/make the bed no linen change or full daily service. On your way to your room there is a area that has all the different bath and room amenities that you could need, including unlimited coffee and tea. The rooms are in thd Japanese small category but this hotel makes use of every square inch! The details! The room is clearly geared towards the business man, with the shoe care products and trouser press. Notice how long ghe shoe horn is! Beds are comfortable, several outlets available, universal charger provided, bed light controls, glasess, mugs, kettle, small frig, bedside organizer, table top mirror, pajamas, table and chair, wall moun TV, wifi, air filter, and hot heat/freezing cold air-conditioning! The bathroom is small but has a tub! Plenty of hot water and a simple comfortable bidet. The entire building and rooms are super clean and not dated. There is a laundry room and vendng machines. Will stay here again if I visit Akita again.

Hotel was very accommodative of our request for an extra rollaway bed and the room was very large. The only thing to note is that there is no parking onsite and the laundry charges are charged per piece (as opposed to a simple coin laundry). The hotel is very near to food and shopping options and is essentially in the heart of the city. Other than that, we had a very comfortable stay and would definitely book again if given the chance.

Great hotel is all I can say. It was a wonderful base for my parents and I to explore the city and the surrounding countryside. We loved the elegant Lotus bar.
