Overall I was very happy with this hotel, with my only complaint being that it lacked the amenities that most hotels in Japan provide (e.g., free toiletry packets, bathroom amenities, pajamas). The bed was firm but in a comfortable way, and the room was quite clean. The free breakfast was reasonable, and the location was excellent. (The hotel is just across the street from Aomori station.) For the very low nightly price, I was pleased with this hotel. There were only two laundry machines in the lobby so I had to wait until the morning for one to be free, but the fact that there were laundry machines at all was great. This hotel would not be satisfying to someone looking for luxury, but if you're a budget traveler and you want a clean hotel that is very close to the train station, this place is perfect. (The free breakfast adds to the value, too.)
