Natural Hot Spring Aoba no Yu Dormy Inn Sendai ANNEX

I always choose this Hotel to enjoy a relaxing bath. However, this time, I experienced something unusual. It seemed that someone had washed their body in the bath, and when I tried to take a second bath late at night, there was a large amount of scum floating on the surface. I tried to scoop some out myself, but there was too much to handle. Feeling cold, I reluctantly used the cleaner side where water was flowing for a short time. When I reported this issue to the front desk, they responded promptly. The next morning when I went back to the bath, it had been cleaned thoroughly. It seems they checked and cleaned it several times during the night because by morning it was spotless and I could enjoy soaking comfortably again.Additionally, perhaps due to my distress over the situation, I completely forgot my glasses in the bath and couldn’t see well enough without them. When I mentioned this at reception, they kindly helped me search for them until we found them together—I truly appreciated their help as I'd almost given up hope of finding them.Thank you so much! This experience reminded me how important proper bathing manners are among guests.I look forward to staying here again!

What I liked- The Room was spacious, so I could relax comfortably.- The late-night soba was served in ceramic bowls (some other Dormy Inn locations use disposable plastic).- I accidentally left the Room without my key card, but the reissue process was handled smoothly.- The bath water was quite hot, but it suited the very cold weather.What I didn’t like- There is no air purifier in the Room.- There is no post-bath lounge like some other Dormy Inn locations have.- The vending machines do not accept new 1,000-yen bills.Overall, it was a satisfying stay.
