Best Hotels in Shiroishi, Japan

The lobby and the room were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet menu was also great. I think it would have been better if there was *. At check-out, when I was heading from the corridor to the elevator hall, the female cleaning staff looked at me and pushed the elevator call button first. I was happy to have a little attention.

仙台で宿泊する時は、郊外型格安ホテルの「シーラックパル仙台」をよく利用します。仙台中心部のビジネスホテルと比べ、立地以外に見劣りする点はほぼ皆無だからです。クルマでの移動の場合、立地による交通の便の悪さは気にならず、圧倒的なコスパの高さが気に入っています。 今回は試しにまだ新しい、このホテルを利用してみました。ホテル側が想定している客層は、「シーラックパル仙台」と恐らく同じでしょう。価格帯はこちらの方が若干高めです。 立地は国道４号線沿いで極めて判りやすい場所にあります。周辺には倉庫や作業場が立ち並び、お店の類は何もありません。白石側に少しだけ行くとコンビニがありました。建物はまだ新しくて本当にキレイです。駐車場は建物に隣接して多数の区画が設けられていました。 接客応対は、この手のホテルの中ではかなりいい方だと思います。 ホテル敷地に支配人夫婦を住み込ませるという、このホテルチェーン独自の雇用形態ですが、一部で労使間の揉め事が生じたという報道がありました。ただ、利用客の立場からすると、競合するホテルチェーンより接客応対は良好なケースが多いように感じます。 温泉のお湯は、那須の「フロラシオン那須」からの運び湯です。成分分析表で確認しました。那須でのお湯の状態がどうか判りませんが、タンクローリーで仙台まで運ばれて使われると、循環ろ過されている事もあり、特に特徴のない状態となっていました。 浴室や脱衣所は、昨今の状況を考えると狭いです。浴室の洗い場は４ヶ所、脱衣所も脱衣カゴ６個程度しか置けないコンパクトな空間です。さらに完全に締切のため換気も良くなく、ちょっと密な空間となっています。小さい窓でもあれば良かったのですが…。客室のテレビ画面で浴室の混雑具合を確認できる仕組みですが、情報がリアルタイムで更新されている訳ではなく、ちょっとタイムラグがありました。 客室や一階の食事スペースも狭いのは、他のスーパーホテルと同じです。この辺りはそういうコンセプトで割り切っているのでしょう。ただ、前述した「シーラックパル仙台」の客室は、遥かにゆったりとした空間です。 朝食バイキングの内容は、売りにしているらしい牛タンカレー以外、可も無し不可も無しといった内容でした。「シーラックパル仙台」も朝食でカレーがあり、牛タンではなく普通の豚肉カレーでしたが、味はシーラックの方が多少美味しかったように感じました。 とはいえ、オール込で六千円台前半の価格だと、あまり過大な要望は禁物です。こんなものかもしれないです。しかし、前述の「シーラックパル仙台」と比較してしまうと、現状ではこのホテル、多少分が悪いように感じた次第です。

I wanted to go to Akiho Onsen in OKU zashiki in Sendai once. It was the first impression that the old lobby was a large group for the inn, but it was very good to answer politely even if I asked anyone of the staff a little. The place for the meal was a very large venue in the form of a Viking, but there was a wagon for the elderly who were badly feet, and the old man and grandson pushed the wagon and smiled and looked at it. I became a smile. The bath was very good. I was tired and sleepy until the morning. I'm going to see you again in autumn

The second stop came to the Tibetan King Hot Spring in Yamagata County, and stayed in two hotels. This one has a free open-air style. 📍 Location: Located 15 minutes away from the bus stop, located on the top of the mountain, you can make an appointment for the hotel car to pick up and drop off to Yamagata Station, but we completely forgot, there is no appointment, we push our luggage up the mountain to the physical and mental fatigue 😩! 🤵🏻 Service: I wanted to store my luggage when I checked out, but the staff insisted on picking up the group on the same day. I was afraid that there was no vacancy and I didn't want to 😒. I annoyed for a few minutes and gave up. Although I had a good attitude, ☹️ I felt that I couldn't do small things. 🏠 Room: One night double room with breakfast HKD898.41 + JPY300 ( Hot Spring Tax) Advantages: The room is big enough, using tatami floor ☺️, and has already made a bed, set up a separate bathroom 🚽, no need to share, the decoration is traditional Japanese style and wind design. The hotel has an elevator 🛗, you don't need to carry your luggage upstairs. The hotel lobby is spacious and comfortable, with a small shop selling hand letter, and you can rest and stroll after soaking in the hot spring ♨️. Disadvantages: There is only one elevator 🛗, it takes time to wait, no more. ♨️ Hot spring: 😍 The female soup is big enough, there is an indoor and outdoor soup, the outdoor soup is thinner, and it can only accommodate four people. Fortunately, only me and my family were there, so I could book the venue, and the spring water was milky white, filled with a strong sulfur taste, also known as ”beauty hot spring” 🤩, soaking really felt good skin.

We arrived at Mt Zao in the middle of Our Epic Six Week Trip To Japan, during which we stayed in nine different hotels. This room was amongst my favourites. The staff largely didn't speak English and were not helpful. We had a stand off at the restaurant as we didn't understand that we couldn't dine at there without having made a booking far in advance. After this was explained,  there was no apology or suggestions for alternative dining options. There are limited dining options in Zao. We ate at the Soup Curry place one night and a cute sushi joint another night. On the last night we ended up getting an ebiken bento box from the local L****ns as nothing was open. We did book breakfast each morning and that was fantastic. Lots of Japanese and Western options and it seemed like the food had all been prepared onsite. The hotel is very pretty, with a lovely view of the forest from the lobby. There is a common room with free coffee, tea and ice creams. People were pretty friendly in there. The hotel is the furthest from the 'town' but the closest to the ski lift and to the 'sulfurous' onsen. The ski lift is about 50 metres from the hotel and the ride up and down is spectacular. I thought the onsen was top notch. The sulfurous onsen outside has milky water that is supposed to be good for your complexion. It was fun having an onsen with snow all around. We stayed in the Western style room - it was spacious and well appointed. Our little lounge area had a beautiful view of pine trees and lots of snow. There was also a similar view from the luxurious bath tub (but I didn't use that tub as the onsen was so good.) The beds in our room were very hard. Our room also had a massage chair which I used for hours a time. It was a bit of a trek getting to Mt Zao. The hotel staff weren't very helpful with organising buses but they did drop us off at the bus stop early in the morning and we were picked up on our day of arrival. I know that the staff weren't friendly to us because of the language barrier, which is a shame because everyone should enjoy this venue. I would stay here again for sure. Next time we'll book the dinner set. It did smell amazing ! --
