On the page it says that there is parking available for ¥500, but when you get to the hotel there aren't any signs telling you were to park. I ended up having to park in a random paid lot a couple blocks away from the hotel. When you take the escalator up to the lobby it appears that the hotel is pretty nice. On check in the gentleman asked if I had a car and to put down my plate to pay. He then showed me a map of where to park, it was already too late for that. Once you take the elevator to the floors with the rooms it looks pretty aged and could use some updates. The room was on the smaller side and was clean. The bed was very firm with a single small and extremely flat pillow. Would I stay here again? Probably not, I don't think I received enough value for the amount that it cost to stay here, as it was pretty expensive.

Tanbo art Trip to Hirosaki - Sept 2018

The hotel is 15 to 20 min away from the JR train station so location wise it is not convenient if you will be using train. Hotel itself is pretty basic - small room but it is ok to crash for a night or two. The carpeting in the rooms needs changing - looks pretty bad. Breakfast is also pretty basic but for an extra $7 its ok. At least one person on the front desk staff can speak English and they are all polite and helpful. wifi signal was strong in my room so no complaints there. Local area is all commercial with many shops and restaurants. Hirosaki castle and park are about 15 min walk and are worth seeing. Overall its an ok place to crash for a night if you are a solo traveller like me but I will not stay there again because of the distance from JR train station.

Good breakfast

This hotel is located about 15 minutes on foot from the JR Station. It's a three-minute walk from another station of another line. It's in a very good location for sightseeing in this town. This hotel is relatively old. It does not have a public bath but they provide a good breakfast. The room is quite small but they offer free wifi.

気持ちの良い朝食バイキング

朝食バイキングがとても良かった。メニューが豊富な上に青森ならではの工夫があり、3日間滞在しても飽きることがなかった。特にスタッフがすばらしい。こまめに気を配って、料理も十分補充できていて、配膳台周囲が汁こぼれなど無くとてもきれいで気持ちよく利用できた。 フロントで無料配布している入浴剤も嬉しかった。 場所は駅からは徒歩10分と少し遠いが、観光ポイントに近く、買い物や食事処も充実している。
