Exactly as I would expect, clean, tidy, staff friendly. Still can't get used to the pillows budget Japanese hotels provide so I pack a little one. Apart from this the room is very comfortable. A cooked breakfast is not offered at this APA but muffins, toast and coffee provided in the foyer in the morning. Convenience stores close by if you wanted a cooked breakfast.

The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic.
The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic. It wasnt crowded, lessons for kids and adults were AUD$55 for 4 hours, lifts were @4$ per lift. Gear hire was AUD$65 for 2 days PP. In Australia lift passes are $250 per day alone. The hotel Sailor Hutte was literally at the base of the ski lifts. Food was cheap ($10-14 per meal) booze was cheap ($3.50 for a beer). The guys at the Hotel Sailor Hutte were great, make an effort to chat with them via your translator app. Its worth it. One more thing, I would recommend buying Shinkansen tickets directly from JR East rail online. Heaps cheaper than buying a seven day pass unless you are planning to spend 7 days on the train. FYI there are 3 Shinkansen companies East, Central and West. They have there own websites a bit clunky in English but it works. Good luck.

Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture.
Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture. There are many places to visit and things to do. We rented a car and I believe this is a must if you want to sight see and time is an issue for you. By car from Yamagata train station, Zao Onsen is about 40-50 minutes away, Ginzan Onsen an hour, Yamadera about 20-30 mins. If you are into photography, there are many great landscape photos you can take here.

Not very famous place for travelingas not much to see in the city.
If you could have a car or rent one, could go more places.
Basically in Yamagata prefecture, public transportation doesn't cover much as it is not a prefecture mainly for sightseeing though there are several nice places to go.
amenities were excellent !The route inn is my hotel of choice when staying in Japan. I loved the public bath and the Japanese breakfast was exceptional. The staff in the restaurant breakfast area were so welcoming and polite, I have not experienced this level of service in 5 star hotels so 10/10 for them.
There was one particular English speaking women who may of been the duty manager who was exceptional in both customer service and attention to detail. she is an asset to this property and her English skills were exceptional.
- Helpful staff as one of them helped us with the kuroneko yamato waybill for shipping our luggages to our next hotel in Osaka.
- There were dedicated areas for you to collect your delivered luggages or put your luggages for delivery (with the waybill) in the lobby.
- Clean toilets despite it being shared.
- Room was also quite spacious.
- Location is next to Zao Heim Ski School.
- Ski area is in front of the hotel.
Great host, young and helpful. Plus listening to their own path breaking story was so much refreshing. Breakfast was simply awesome! After hearing from me that I like Japanese food a lot but do not cook at home, next morning they served me a delicious and unique Washoku breakfast. So much more value for the money you pay.
The grand hotel is 'grand' it has a western high class aesthetic and the staff uniforms convey the grandiose feeling of the entire place. The room we had was very spacious and had everything we needed. The coffee facilities were the best we have had in Japan. Over that last month.
Staff was so friendly and helpful especially the lady at the front desk. Room was spacious , includes a huge tele to watch Netflix etc. Toilet was huge compared to other toilets in Japan for the same price ! One of my best stays in Japan so far !
7 min walk from Yamagata Station that has busses for Zao Onsen Ski Resort. Has public coin laundry at the hotel in certain floors, can hold luggage and baggage for you while you other trips and walking distance to bars and cafes.
The hotel was within easy walking distance from the train station, with many restaurant options nearby. Also, since the rooms are on the 6th floor and higher, you have a good view of the city and surrounding mountains.
Location is just perfect. The hotel itself is kind of dormitory. The rooms are with tatami floors, but carpeted on top. Maybe it's dome during the skiing season. Although beds are foldable, they are really comfy.
Hotel Castle is 8 minutes walk from Yamagata Station. There are nearby restaurants and convenience stores in the area. The service bath salt was great! There were a lot of selection to choose from!
The ventilation was good. There were sounds coming from the ceiling. The Japanese restaurant on 2/F that we went for lunch was good. All the ingredients were local.
