I just stayed here one night as part of a longer journey. The hotel is a few steps away from the station, so it’s super convenient! The staff were all super friendly and the room was very comfortable.

Located opposite to the JR station, usual APA's rooms tends to be a bit on the small side compared with other hotel brands across Japan, but this APA's branch seems to be larger than their usual size within their brand. Staff was great and speaks enough English. Breakfast was reasonable. Great TV entertainment systems with free on-demand movies. Very good value for money overall.

I stayed here for one night, the people at the dront desk were really nice and friendly when I arrived ! I was surprised by the quality of the room, with comfortable beds, free water bottle and a lot of amenities like free hairties, razor, shower and cap and such ! The lights were controled from your head stand which was really handy ! The only bad point was that the wall wern't really soundproof and you could hear people in the doorway and sometimes from the others rooms so I had to sleep with earplugs so that's why I'm putting 4 stars But overall, a really good place to stay at !

駐車場は提携のものがないのでご注意を。地上の駐車場は満車で立体駐車場を利用しました。入り口がわかりにくいので予め調べた方がよいです。 APAはコスパいいです。お部屋綺麗だし。設備も充実。ただ、朝食をもっと軽くお安く食べれる選択肢があるといいなあ。

2度目の利用、初めての連泊でした。 清掃はデフォルトでは入らず希望者のみと、環境に配慮した仕組みとなっています。 タオル交換も同様です。 ですが、特に希望を出していないにも関わらず、翌日、ドアノブに新しいタオルがかけられていて謎でした。夏だったからですかね。 それ以外は空調設備がやや古いぐらいで、特に気になることはありませんでした。 贅沢を言わせて貰うと、グラスと同様に洗って使いまわせるフォークとスプーンが置いていただけると、コンビニで食事を調達したときに割り箸をもらわずに済むかな、というぐらいです。

朝食バイキングがとてもおいしかった。山形のダシや赤カブの漬物、お蕎麦やそうめんなど、朝から食べやすいものを出してくださるのがありがたかったです。空調でいつも喉をやられがちですが、寒すぎず快適でした。シャワーが高機能のもので、とても使いよかったです。

ベッドのマットレスが柔らかすぎました。また、洗面所の栓が、開閉不可でおどろきました。一度閉めると自力では開けられなくなります。コンタクト洗浄で流れるのを防止するために栓をするのは普通ですし、水をためて何かを洗うこともできないので、ぜひ改善を求めます。

娘の意見。朝食ビュッフェで選んでいる時、女性スタッフさんにじーっと見られていたのでプレッシャーで嫌な気持ちになり選びにくかった。実際見ていないとしても立ってこちらの方を見ていたら見られてると感じます。何か伝えたいことがあるなら言うべきだし、要がないなら客に限らず人としてじーっとガン見する人は失礼だし不快です。ちなみに娘はとくにマナー違反はしてません。
