Ishikawa Vacations from $1,310

Great place, 3 star, but like 4 star place. Awesome breakfast buffet, plenty of choices & variety. Japan type & other American too. Room size ok, note choices from hotel online websites might use different terminology than actual hotel descriptions for size. Super nice & helpful staff, like most places not much English speaking. Nice lobby, good WiFi, plenty of amenities, except no microwave. Note restaurant is only for breakfast. Check in & out mainly by machine, but people are there also. Plenty of food places near, a good ramen place is 100 meters away. Train station is big & multi level & confusing to get out to get to hotel. Also, note main hotel entrance is on the side street, not main road. Definitely recommend.

Property is aged (no USB) with cobwebs near the ceilings and corners. Bathroom was stinky, vanities are too low and too small. Despite that we upgraded to larger room to accommodate a third person in the room, but were told to add a second room for the person. It was not necessary because we were accommodated in Sendai and Sapporo with no hassle.

About 10-15 minutes from Iizaka Onsen station. The hotel is situated uphill & is a traditional construction w/spacious parking area. Check-in is easy & short, & staff is friendly & polite. Our room has mountain view & can hear water running downstream when window open. Quite serene! Our meal plan included breakfast & dinner (half board). Japanese style dining w/good amount of food & varieties. Literally, they can fill you up. Separate indoor/outdoor public onsens for women & men. I suggested to order the meal plan w/room as many restaurants are still closed around the area. I believe they provide free shuttle to/from station if book ahead. We didn’t know until the day we checked out & they gave us a ride.😊
