Annex Royal Hotel

The Hinai chicken soup for breakfast was delicious, and the beef bowl for dinner was also excellent. I'd like to try the curry next time! The free parking with unlimited entry and exit is a great bonus.

I was completely satisfied with the hotel, the facilities, and the service at the front desk. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit this area.

I booked a Japanese-style room, but upon check-in, I discovered there was no bathroom, which was a bit inconvenient. Those booking Japanese-style rooms should take note. Also, the soundproofing seemed average; you had to be very quiet and move slowly in and out of the room, which felt a little unsafe. I stayed on the second floor, and the smoking area was outside. However, the room was large, and the air conditioning was sufficient. When I arrived at the hotel in the evening, there weren't many shops open nearby, but the hotel gave me a free voucher for curry rice or beef rice, which solved my dinner problem. I really liked the hairdryer at the public bath.

Excellent! The room was spacious and very clean! The rooftop hot spring wasn't large, but it was also not crowded. It also had a cold water pool and sauna. The experience would probably be much worse if it were crowded. Complimentary drinks were available from 3 PM to 9 PM. The Japanese-style rooms were very poorly soundproofed; I could hear the neighbor opening their backpack zipper or brushing their teeth perfectly clearly. I was woken up at 4 AM by the snoring from next door.

This business hotel in Odate City, Akita, is great because it offers free beef bowls on weekdays. A simple drink bar is available until 9 PM. The building is old, and the website photos are overly embellished. The public bath is very old. Before 7 PM, the streets are deserted, and the streetlights are dim, making it a bit eerie to walk outside. That's just how it is in the countryside, hence the cheap and reasonable price. The standard double room is very small.

The Japanese hotels were very clean, except this one had a slightly dated feel; otherwise, it was perfect. Thank you to the staff. Odate City has many bars and entertainment venues at night, but it was very quiet; the Tohoku region is generally quite desolate.

A very comfortable hotel. Dinner was a bowl of beef rice, but breakfast was better.

The hotel has all the basic amenities of a typical Japanese hotel. There's a convenience store and several restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. There's a rice noodle shop next to the hotel; you could try it. We were driving, and having a place to stay during our trip was quite nice.
