Hotels With breakfast in Aomori Prefecture, Japan

It's been half a month since I returned from Aomori, and I'm just now getting around to writing this hotel review. This is my second time choosing a 'Daiwa' brand hotel; my previous experience at the Kyoto Station location was so-so, but the Aomori branch was generally quite good. Here are my specific thoughts: **I. Pros** 1. **Convenient Location:** The hotel is situated in the central area near JR Aomori Station. From the station's East Exit, walk straight along the main road where Toyoko Inn is located for about 6-7 minutes, and you'll reach it. Nearby attractions such as the Tourist Museum (the PAM PAM apple pie inside is a bit sweet but has a very crispy crust), Nebuta House, A-Factory, and Hirota Shrine are all within walking distance. 2. **Abundant Dining Options Nearby:** There are many restaurants along the way to the hotel, including Aomori Shokudo, which often has a queue. I tried the scallops when they opened in the afternoon, and they were fresh and delicious. The Aomori Seafood Market, about an 8-minute walk from the hotel, is also highly recommended. Go early in the morning to experience the locals' 'seafood freedom'. 3. **Smooth Check-in Experience:** The hotel lobby is on the second floor, and there's a Lawson convenience store downstairs. Guests can directly access the lobby through the store using their room card. I checked in around noon; although there were self-check-in machines, a staff member proactively assisted with manual check-in. They were enthusiastic and accommodating, fulfilling my request for a higher floor. Disposable toiletries, including facial cleanser, toner, lotion, toothbrush sets, and tea bags, were available for self-service next to the front desk. The toner had a nice texture. 4. **Well-equipped Guest Room:** My room was on the 14th (top) floor. Although small, it was fully functional with an expansive window view. The bathroom was spacious with a wet/dry separation and no steps between it and the bedroom, preventing tripping hazards. The bath amenities felt good, but the conditioner had a slight urea-like scent. 5. **Thorough Cleaning and Service:** I stayed for three consecutive nights. Each day, after I hung out the 'Please clean my room' sign, I returned to a clean and tidy room. The room provided two pillows of different heights, and the bedding had no noticeable disinfectant smell. A complimentary bottle of drinking water was provided daily, a thoughtful touch. 6. **Corridor Signage:** There was a sign in the corridor indicating that guests could activate TV channels. **II. Areas for Improvement** 1. **Small Room Size:** My 28-inch suitcase couldn't be fully opened on the luggage rack without blocking the walkway. 2. **Lack of Hanging Space in Bathroom:** After the wet/dry separation, there was no place to hang clothes. Washed clothes at night had to be hung on the indoor drying rack, and water drops could easily fall onto the carpet. 3. **Central Air Conditioning Limitations:** In April, the central air conditioning only offered heating mode, with no option for cooling. This was a minor inconvenience for guests who wanted ventilation or to cool down. **Overall Rating:** The hotel has a high rating, and my overall experience was good. It's highly recommended. If I visit Aomori again, I would still consider staying here.

Good and value hotel At the front door might looks small and average but when go up to the lobby and room has more nice vibe and interior. The room is small type but okay for few nights. - I like that the bathroom is separate and quite spacious. - They have water dispensers at all floor which is very nice. - The kettle is small but boiling fast. - I can feel attention to detail in every area. - Staff is nice. Hotel is close to the station and have family mart nearby. Also lots of restaurants, such as izakaya or comfort food like ootoya and walkable to Nokkedon morning market. If I visit Aomori again, this is one of my hotel choice.

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Aomori Station and isn't on the main commercial street, but it's just around the corner from it. It's very close to Hirota Shrine, almost directly across the street. As soon as you enter the hotel, you're greeted by the scent of apples. There are apple models on display on the first floor, and the elevators are decorated with various apple illustrations and names. The breakfast selection is quite limited. While there are a few local specialties, the overall variety of dishes is too small. The scallop meat was very tiny and shredded, not whole pieces, putting it on par with the breakfast offerings at budget chain hotels.

Location: About a 10-minute walk from Aomori Station, right on the main street, so it's very easy to find. The decor isn't brand new, but it's very well-maintained. Service: The front desk and restaurant staff were all very warm and friendly. My experience from check-in to check-out was quite good. This hotel brand offers complimentary late-night ramen, popsicles after a hot spring bath, and Yakult in the morning. This Aomori branch also had self-serve apple juice and coffee next to the front desk, which was a nice touch. Facilities: My room was windowless, which felt a bit overpriced for the off-peak season. However, their rooftop onsen (hot spring) is excellent. The onsen floor has Nebuta festival decorations, and the indoor and outdoor areas combined are quite spacious. There's also a sauna.

Enjoyed our short stay there. Room was nice, not as cramped as other places we stayed. The only issues we had was finding the hotel and the room was very warm. Not much of a sign out front. We walked right past the entrance. The registration counter is on the third floor, so nothing is visible from the street. We had to open the window to cool the room down The location was great, halfway between the station and Hirosaki park. Having the bus stop right across the street was nice to have.

The hotel is located on a street right next to Bahnhofstrasse, about a five-minute walk from the train station. We opted for a newly renovated deluxe twin room, and all the facilities were brand new, with a decent amount of space. The lobby offers complimentary coffee, and the guest room also came with free biscuits and apple juice. Plus, there's a charger and a variety of toiletries in the room, which was a thoughtful touch.

Facilities: The room had a very traditional Japanese feel, and the window view was absolutely stunning! Environment: It's located right where the bus drops you off, literally right in front of the hotel. Service: All the staff were older, white-haired individuals, but their service was excellent. On the downside, the food was quite bad 😂. Dinner was really unappetizing, so I skipped breakfast altogether.

The room was small, but it met the standard of a Japanese hotel. It was clean and functional. The breakfast was okay, but I think the buffet line was small and the food selection was limited. It also took a while to fill up.

I used the APA hotel when I traveled with my mother. Airport bus, Aomori station is close Hommachi and shopping streets are also nearby, so accessibility is good. Breakfast was so delicious. Next time I visit Japan (even in other areas) I will use the APA.
