10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel Metropolitan is literally located at Sendai Station. It’s easily the most convenient hotel if you arrive by train. The station features a plethora of restaurants, that every palate and price range is covered. There are two shopping centers and a Yodobashi Camers store right there. The Meteopolitan is an excellent location to base your travel around Miyagi Ken."
