Shirane Vacations from $588

Overall, the property was perfect. I would consider Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sendai a more upscale Japanese business hotel. Room was clean and modern with a good selection of amenities. It's just a short walk from Sendai Station and conveniently located near many restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, breakfast is not complimentary but there are many breakfast options in the surrounding area. I found a cheap onigiri shop just around the corner from the hotel for just 150 yen each and the portions were generous, better than the ones at the convenience stores. There is also Asaichi Market, which I recommend taking a stroll through.

Although it was a bit far from Sendai Station, it became a truly wonderful memory. The meal, the beautiful tableware, and the warm hospitality reminded me of the charm of Japanese culture. The bath was lovely, and my daughter said she would love to visit other Hoshino Resorts too.✨

Good location next to the station. Smooth check-in and staff were polite. The hotel has a bath that was nice. Wifi was ok but likely throttled, since it was slow at times. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

In general, most accommodations in Japan are well managed. However staff at Hotel Grand Beach shown exceptional problem solving skills and willingness to find alternative solutions for the needs of customers. Frontdesk staff, Yamazaki H, helped me called delivery service for an odd size item, which other accommodation have told me no can’t do. End result was I don’t have to carried the item on and off the Shinkansen for next three days of travel. Thank you Yamazaki-san

Room was great and clean. Position is great too. It would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn’t for the breakfast logistics and options which are quite lacking giving the price tag and 4* hotel.
