Fantastic 5.0
Extremely satisfied. It served as a great base for touring Tohoku, including the Zao snow monsters, Ginzan Onsen, Fox Village, and Matsushima Bay. The area around Sendai Station is fantastic for shopping; I could buy my drugstore items and drop them off at the hotel before continuing my shopping spree. The hotel breakfast was delicious, and I enjoyed the hotel's face masks and baths every day. Very comfortable and highly recommended.

The environment is clean, and the service is professional. It was great that there was a staff member available who could communicate in Chinese. Luggage storage is available. I accidentally left something behind, but I was able to retrieve it quickly. It's also great that amenities are available in the lobby for you to take as needed.

Hotel Location: Very convenient with a 7-Eleven and FamilyMart downstairs. Transportation Convenience: A 10-minute walk from Sendai Station. Cleanliness: Overall very clean, the room space was surprisingly large. There was plenty of room to open two large suitcases without feeling cramped. The air conditioning was also nice and cold. The only downside is that the bed was a bit small. Service: Disposable amenities are available for self-service on the first floor, as well as ice maker, microwave, and washing machine services. I asked the hotel to help dispose of a suitcase and only had to pay ¥1,000. They also offer luggage storage, umbrella and shopping bag rentals. The arrangement was really good.

The hotel is surrounded by numerous supermarkets and convenience stores. Although not located in the core tourist area, it's only a 5- to 10-minute walk to shopping malls and arcades, making it quite convenient. The rooms feature spacious bathrooms with separate wet and dry areas, and the king-size rooms are decent with sufficient comfort. However, the hotel's public bath is smaller compared to other local options, which won't be a major issue unless you're specifically looking for a large onsen. Overall, its strength lies in its quiet yet vibrant location and well-equipped facilities.

Great 4.0
This Japanese-style hotel is very comfortable. You can enjoy the onsen (hot spring) in the evening, with complimentary popsicles and late-night ramen. In the morning, Yakult is served at the onsen. The breakfast is abundant, and in the summer, they provide ice pillows. Free self-service laundry is available, but drying costs from ¥100 per load. If there's a discount, don't miss it!

Fantastic 5.0
The hotel is new and comfortable, with a very nice room design and furniture placement, plus sufficient space to move around in the room. The electronic interface on the headboard can be set to Chinese, making it easy to use. It's a bit of a distance from Sendai Station, but the underground passage is only a minute or two's walk from the hotel, providing direct access to the subway and train stations, which is quite convenient. It's also very close to the shopping street. The breakfast is fairly plentiful and different every day, with many local specialties worth trying. Taking the JR to Matsushima for a day trip is particularly convenient; the Senseseki Line terminal is right at the bottom of the underground passage, going directly to Matsushima Coast.

They have late-night ramen available after 9:30 PM, which is quite delicious. When you go to the hot springs, they also offer popsicles and Yakult. It's a hot spring hotel with great value for the price, and the surrounding area is fairly lively. It's about a 6-minute walk to Sendai Station.

In Sendai, there are two hotels in the chain. This hotel is located on the side that isn't Ichibancho, so it's quieter. If you want liveliness, you should choose the other side. A very big advantage is its proximity to a department store that sells clothes and closes at 10 PM. Very good.
