Avis Hotel Kikuya

A good place, well explained (and kindly) during check in, but room was not very clean

The guy that checks you in (if your female) will not talk to you. I asked him a question and he looked to my husband to answer the question. He was extremely rude and very sexist. The building has a lot of potential, however it is not in very good condition due to lack of upkeep. We told the man that was checking us in that we were extremely tired and just wanted to get settled into our room and go to sleep. he refused to give us our key, and deliberately took his time trying to explain the whole neighborhood, all the while never acknowledging my presence. He still refused to give us the key and insisted on walking us to our room (it wasn't difficult to find) and came into the room. He refused to let us put our luggage on the floor to go through and get out the essentials, instead he snatched up our luggage and very roughly put it into the closet (mine he snatch from me before I could even set it down). He then wouldn't leave the room no matter how many times we told him we needed sleep. It was so bad that we almost considered leaving that night to find a different place to stay. By the time he left the room two hours plus some change had passed since we arrived at the hotel.

價錢滿意，清靜幽雅，雖然房況較舊，但整體都很乾淨。

部屋、設備は至って普通。部屋にはお風呂もトイレも無く、基本は共用になる。(部屋によっては付いてる部屋もある)。なので過度な期待は無い方がよい。しかし何よりも料金や立地が抜群。駅に近く、歩けば至る所に温泉がある。高速のICからも近いので、車の便も良い。ただ駐車場に、限りがある為、市営の無料駐車場を活用する場合もある。素泊まりで利用しましたが、4,000円以下でした。

格安で広い部屋で最高でした。

Hotel Kikuya was a nice hotel, and my friends and I enjoyed our one night stay there. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for somewhere to stay near Yamagata-shi. ARRIVAL: We had rented a car and were following the Google map trying to find the hotel, but we were unable to find it without calling the hotel. Had some of our trip-goers not been fluent in Japanese, I am uncertain that we would have been able to locate the hotel. Upon arriving though, the staff were very kind and explained everything we needed to know and more. If we were staying here multiple nights, the information they provided would have been very useful. PARKING: They do have on-site parking, however there's only about 13 spots so they fill up easily as the hotel is quite large. We were directed to park around the block at a softball practice fields parking lot where it is free to park. ROOM: The room was very nice. The entryway had the entrances to the toilet and the bath (the toilet had a door but it didn't provide much privacy, in terms of sound). There was a kotatsu setup for us upon arrival and the room also had a small drawer-like fridge, two lounge chairs by the window and a ceramic(?) heater which was what heated the room for the night. The room stayed warm enough, however the entryway was freezing in the morning unfortunately. The futons were comfortable though the bean pillows were a disappointment.
