Hotels With Gym in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

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.

Location is very good, just two minutes walk from JR station. The shuttle bus stop to ski area is just one minute walk. Next to hotel is a big parking lot. Room is clean, but no hook for hanging stuff in the bathroom. No expectation in public bath, better than nothing. Kitakima is a very sleepy town, few selection of restaurants in town, no restaurant near the hotel, but one inside the hotel. Steak is great there. Wrong room type had been allocated to me ( not the problem of the hotel), but finally being compensated by Trip.com.

The main reason for staying at the Hongyeguan Hotel was its convenient location for cherry blossom viewing in the north. It's only a little over half an hour's drive to the exhibition center. The hotel includes two meals: a buffet breakfast and dinner. After cherry blossom viewing, guests can enjoy various delicacies such as king crab, soak in the hot springs, and there are even ethnic performances in the evening. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom on the day we checked in, and Hongyeguan was surrounded by them – it was beautiful!

Decent clean rooms... small with basic amenities. Room interior fittings looks new, but the bathtub was a tad old. Location is fairly near Kitakami JR station, say 10 or 15mins walk. There's a nice river view facing the back, and good for morning stroll. All else, it was a short transit stopover stay for my group. Hadn't use any of their facilities

Good premium hotel, high quality dinning. It was a bit far from the gondola and you have to kind of climb the hill to get to the entrance, which was sort of annoying. A place where you can upgrade to priority pass starts working too late to actually make it to the gondola in time for the fast track start time. We had some other things we noticed but overall it was a very nice experience.

The spring quality of Hanamaki Onsen is good, and your body will be slippery after washing. However, the quality of the staff is not very good. When I checked out, I had already deducted money from the website and asked me to swipe my card again. When I explained it to him, He didn't understand much English, but fortunately he discovered the mistake in the end and didn't pay twice. The dinner buffet is quite rich, recommended!

Rooms were great and dinners super tasty. There were also other fun facilities like onsen, karaoke, arcades, ping pong. So it was all good!

Like: The big bath is very comfortable, and I took the child to soak twice. 2. Convenient parking, suitable for self-driving. 3. The service staff is kind and polite. Not like: 1. If you don't smoke, remember to book a non-smoking room. I didn't notice when I booked (I was too a soldier). I booked a smoking room. The smell of smoke in the room was very heavy. It was my most regrettable place. Satisfaction is 90 points.

原本是要去露營，結果天氣太糟，店家很貼心幫我們安排至附近溫泉飯店住宿，下次還是會想再去體驗看看露營！
