Property itself was acceptable. Just old even renovate ( looks like ), exterior of the hotel shows up damaged wall out side. And no parking and far parking lot especially for motorcycles. Staff was kind guide nearest parking lot with drawing. And restaurant near there was limited. Breakfast was good enough unexpectedly.

Smile provided a clean room, but the smell of smokers was a large negative. The smoke appeared to be coming in from the bathroom vent, which was blowing instead of sucking out air. Other than smoke smell, everything was fine.

Overall its good, very decent hotel clean and tidy. The locaction is kinda far from aomori station about 15mins walk via the shopping street. But it's kinda of peaceful. You have to walk a distance to get a convenient store nearby, so make sure you buy your supper or food before going back the hotel. Plus point, there's microwave and vending machine at the lift area at each floor.

Nice place

The 24 hour front desk was helpful. The hotel is a bit of a walk from Aomori station especially in the winter with mountains of snow but it was fine. It's a little bit outdated it didn't really matter. It's a great place to stay for a night or two.

Close to the CBD

The hotel is bright and neat , it is a small hotel but what it lacks in size it rates well with the helpful friendly staff who are always ready to assist you . a 2 minute walk to the main shopping and restaurant strip , right down to a charcoal grill on the pavement with the jaw of a fresh caught Tuna slowly cooking on the pavement . The rates are very reasonable and everything is clean and tidy. The main street and surrounding area has amply places to eat and the city itself is very clean and bright and a joy to take a walk and enjoy the surrounding, shops and sights . I found the people cheerful but some a little shy but still very hospitable .
