We loved this little hotel. It was convenient to the Akita Inu museum. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They gave us great restaurant recommendations. There is a Lawson’s convenience store right across the street too. The restaurant across the street was on of the best meals we have had in Japan and was very reasonably priced. The hotel has coin laundry available, which was perfect for halfway through our trip. The TV has an option to cast your own streaming account from your phone to your TV, so we could watch shows in English easily. I was initially concerned that the room has two beds and not one as we are a couple, but the beds were very comfortable and easily moved together. The hotel is a short taxi ride from the station and we genuinely enjoyed our stay in Odate.

- hotel staff were so friendly - called us a taxi when needed and held our bags during check out so we could explore more. - the room was so spacious and the bed was so big. - our stay was very comfortable and it allowed us to relax during our stay at Akita - Access to great restaurants nearby - great tv service - able to cast to TV - they had a public bath at the hotel - Lawson right across the street if needed.

Not much we didn't like. We were happy with our stay. We will stay there again when we visit next time ☺️

Didn't do breakfast. Location for a bit far from the train station for walking, but just $12 for a taxi ride.

Clothes dryer could be a bit bigger than the washing machine, so clothes could tumble dry quicker. A full load took me 2 and a half hours to dry. Provide non-green tea bags for those that don't drink green tea. Provide coffee sachets in the room too.

Very cozy. Staff were professional and kind. They are in a rural area but they are renovating and have taken great effort to implement modern technology and comforts. Rooms were small for 2 people but plenty for 1. Everything you need is provided for. There is a conbini across the road and a Pokémon Go gym within range😁 breakfast wasn’t huge but enough diversity and everything was fresh and delicious.

The public bath was small.

The staff were so friendly and helpful it was such a nice welcome. The free drinks were really good, much more than usual! Easy and quick lifts, great onsen, quick check in and out and the room layout was good too. Plenty of space for two, extremely comfortable beds, dark curtains and nice amenities.

Slightly out of the location but an easy bus to the main station, or train if the timetable allows.

We went to see the Akita Dogs. The Hotel dogs are assigned to two properties and were not at the hotel when we visited, but the staff was very helpful and provided information on where we could see them.

I was confused with the Onsen and the code to access the onsen. I also didn't know I was supposed to wear the PJs they provide and slippers to go to the onsen. All cultural things, but it would be nice if they had a little brochure about Onsen culture and what is expected lol 1) Onsen is available for both females and Males. Females require an access code to enter to the female's onsen. Male's Onsen access does not have a code. 2) Wear the PJs and slippers to the Onsen. There is a locker room where you can take off your clothes and then access the Onsen. 3)Bathing and sitting on the little stools etc before going into the onsen. Thank you so much! We loved staying at your hotel!

The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was a good size and the hotel was in a good location - there's a Lawson across the road, and there are drink vending machines in the hotel itself. There are also some good sights nearby - the Akita Inu museum and Odate castle ruins are a short walk away.

Comfortable enough for a night stay. As we are travelling leisurely, we do not mind the quiet environment though there are not much things to do around the hotel.

Nothing in particular

Room was large and view over the mountains on the horizon was awesome.

AC wind was too loud on the minimum level offered by the unit. Sleep without AC or with earplugs. A kind of safety light stays one. Disturbing at first.
