Golden week Mt. Haguro

I liked this hotel so much that I called to switch my crummy hotel in my next stopover town for an APA. I even came back and stayed here again on my return journey 3 days later! From the minute I walked in I was stunned by the elegance for such a 'cheap' hotel. I loved the chandelier, elaborate furniture, and hallway color scheme. It had the most comfortable bed out of any hotel and I really liked the light dimmers. The breakfast filled me up until 2pm! Location is the best - right across from the train station. The windows can crack open (great for Covid times). APA Hotel is my new standard!

Superb location literally across the road from the station. Room was clean and had a big bed. Only negative was the walls being quite thin as I could hear the room next to me sometimes
