Hotels With breakfast in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

We were two people staying 3 nights. We had breakfast and we were very happy with it (6:30-10:00, L.O 9:30). It didn’t change much during the stay, but it had a lot of options and it tasted good. The room was small. If you have suitcase it will be hard to open it up. We didn’t have suitcases, so for us it was no problem. The bed and pillows were comfortable. They have a manga library and coffe machine (15:00-22:00), and space with tables and chairs where you can e.g eat. They have laundry as well (10:00-22:00). It was cheep (washing 400 yen 30 min, dryer 100 yen 10 min). It was a standing washing machine (which I don’t really like) and we had a lot of laundry, so we went to another coin laundry 1 min walk from the hotel, which was good (washing 15 kg 30 min 800 yen, drying 10 min 100 yen). We didn’t use room cleaning, but every day we got a bag of towels on our door knob. It is around 10-15 min walk to the station. But it’s close to shopping streets and Iwaki park. It has a lot of restaurants close by. If you like all-you-can-drink there’s a lot of options close by as well. After check out we left our baggage for a couple of hours. It was no problem. The people at the hotel were very nice and polite. Overall we had a very nice stay at this hotel.

This was my first trip to Japan's Tohoku region. The Richmond Hotel Morioka is visible right after exiting the JR station. When traveling in Japan, I generally choose hotels near JR stations for their unparalleled convenience in dining, accommodation, transportation, and shopping. I'm especially pleased with the Richmond Morioka. The rooms are slightly larger than hotels in other cities, and the floor-to-ceiling windows make them feel bright and airy. The cleanliness and facilities were satisfactory, and the front desk staff provided excellent service. The check-in/check-out times were better than in other areas. The bedding was very comfortable, and the hotel's soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. If I visit the Tohoku region again, I'll definitely use Morioka as my base, and the Richmond will undoubtedly be my top choice.

This hotel is incredibly convenient, being so close to the station. It's a standard business hotel, but the brand chain is reliable, and the location is excellent. The bed was also very comfortable, just the right firmness.

All well. The car park entrance is a bit hard to find if you’re driving but very convenient if you are using the train. Close to a observation desk near the train station

The check-in staff introduced the hotel attentively and cleaned the room attentively. The ski rental staff are very patient.  But the quality of the food in the restaurant is average, and all the shrimps in the seafood are rotten. And some of the waiters are not polite to the guests. 

Really fantastic location, and good sized room. We didn't get the breakfast, but be warned they had a sign up saying waits for breakfast could take up to 30 minutes during ”peak times” (like 7:30-9:00) which seemed kind of nuts. Also, we unfortunately didn't get super helpful information about the nearby onsens from the front desk staff (language barrier maybe!), so recommend looking up anything you want to do independently.

I stayed in a moderate single room. It was beautifully renovated and very cute. It was directly connected to the station, so it was very convenient to be able to buy various souvenirs in the station building.

The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were warm and polite. It was excellent value for money.

We had a pleasant stay in general. However, room ceaning service needs to be improved. Our group of people have a few bad experiences. 1) after returning to room after the day, there was a used mask left in the bathroom. There’s also a day without providing onsen towels and we had to bring over the mid size ones 2) the door of my friend’s room remained open after the cleaning service (a 3M sticker with なすし2 sticked on wall). Glad there’s no missing items 3) another room, there was blood and urine stint left on the toilet cover! I hope the hotel can take it seriously as it indeed ruins the brand of IHG and bad customer experience.

The hotel is conveniently located about a 15-minute walk from Morioka Station, but it can be a bit tiring to walk if you have a lot of luggage or luggage, or if it rains. There are many 24-hour convenience stores, restaurants, and coffee shops nearby, making it very convenient. As a major brand hotel, the facilities are a bit dated, but they are well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. For business travelers, the hotel offers great value for money when discounts are available, resulting in a high level of satisfaction. On the downside, there are many bars and entertainment venues nearby, resulting in significant noise at night from drunken patrons. This can make for a difficult night's sleep for business travelers who prefer a quiet environment. The shower and toilet facilities are a bit dated, but the shower water pressure is good and well-maintained.
