The staff were friendly and hospitable as well and despite their limited proficiency in English, they managed to show me around to the main facilities of the hotel such as the laundry area, the computer area and where the vending machines are located. The hotel mainly caters to business travelers and the parking area was spacious for a city hotel big. There were parking places at the front of the hotel and at the back.

I for one was traveling alone and opted for a Single Room. Its definitely spacious enough for one and had all the amenities that one may need while traveling. For instance, the bathrooms are well stocked with toothbrushes, shavers and more importantly body soap and shampoo. I also like how they have Japanese washlets as this is one of the thing foreigners would like to try when their visiting Japan (Don´t worry, there´s a manual in English on the side on how you can use this).

The nicely carved wooden desk are definitely spacious, even with the TV at your side. There are coin operated laundry machines in the hotel together with vending machines on certain floors to soothe your thirst and save you the hassle of walking to the nearest supermarket. Bicycles are available for hire and are ideal to visit nearby attractions in this compact and cycle-friendly city, including the Akita Citizens Market and the Akarengakan Museum. After a long day, why not try the massage service.
