Hotel New Tohoku

It was very convenient, close to the station. On both the first and second days, different male staff members assisted me, and both were extremely polite. They also stored my luggage on the morning of check-in and even brought it to my Room, which was a big help.The Room itself was average. The refrigerator cooled well, and since it had a freezer compartment, my ice cream didn’t melt. Amenities were limited to something like a toothbrush, so you’ll need to bring items such as toner, lotion, a comb, and a razor. The slippers are the reusable in-room type, so I brought disposable slippers myself.There was no ice available either, so if you need any, please pick some up at a nearby convenience store. There are many good restaurants in the area, so you won’t have trouble finding places to eat. It was more than sufficient for No Meals Included.However, both the face towel and bath towel had a very strong scent—possibly fabric softener or fragrance—that smelled like an intense oriental floral note and wasn’t to my liking. Overall though, I was satisfied. Thank you for your hospitality.

I understood there was no elevator, but perhaps due to the many comments mentioning "no elevator," my luggage was carried up the stairs for me! When I returned from going out, the receptionist, who was a foreign staff member, warmly greeted me with "Welcome back." It was such a small gesture, but it made me feel very comforted. The room felt old but well-maintained and clean. Being close to the station and considering the price, it exceeded my expectations. Despite being affordable, there were amenities like tea, a personal-use kettle, and even deodorizer spray. I also appreciated having button-up pajamas instead of yukata. Since it was during a time when infectious diseases were starting to spread, I would have given full marks if there had been an air purifier. There weren’t many guests staying at the time so noise wasn’t an issue at all. If I have another chance, I’d love to stay here again!
