Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 3,287 reviews
A 3-star business hotel right in front of Morioka Station. Guests most frequently mention the overwhelming accessibility, 'just a few minutes' walk from the station.' Business travelers and solo visitors especially praise the location.
Across multiple booking sites, reviews commonly rave about the 'onsen public bath being the best.' It's great for relieving fatigue after a long day of walking, with many saying it washes away travel tiredness. The breakfast buffet is tasty and varied. Staff friendliness and clean rooms are also frequently noted.
However, some reviews mention 'beds are too hard.' It's common in Japanese hotels but may be uncomfortable for those not used to it. A few say the onsen water is too hot. Rooms feel slightly dated.
