I liked that there was free parking 5 min away as hotel is near to the free parking at the train station. Parking at hotel itself runs out fast. The twin room is pretty big and location is very central

清潔で明るく快適に過ごせました！ ただ、コーヒーマシンがフロント脇にしかなく使いづらいですし、15-23時と稼働時間が変で（一般的に飲みたいのは朝ですよね...）とても気になりました。また、シャワーの水勢が弱くて使いにくかったので、調整して頂けるとありがたいです。

駐車場は、ホテル周りの場所はいっぱいで、駅駐車場を教えていただきました。無料の駐車場でありがたかったです。　 近くの夜ご飯を食べる所を、スタッフの方に教えていただき助かりました。 口コミ通り、ちょっと壁が薄く、隣の方の話し声が何となく聞こえてきました。 コンセントは、少なかったですが、延長コードがあって良かったです。 朝食もおいしかったです。 また、山形に行く時は、利用したいと思います。
