Shin-Aomori Station accommodation from AU$72

Good location.

The hotel was fine, but felt 'aimed at a target audience that doesn't include me.' Maybe someone a couple decades older would enjoy this place, though. **Positives: *Spacious room....if you're used to business hotel-sized rooms, anyhow. *The view from the window included a little bit of ocean. *The bathroom floor was level with the hallway, which is a pleasant surprise after getting used to the "step up/down" that is the usual business hotel bathroom. *Bed was comfortable for sleeping on and 'comfortable enough' for sitting on. *Shower was spacious enough to not bump my elbows into the walls, which is always a nice change of pace. **Neutral: *The AC was overly aggressive -- it was other 'a bit too cold' or it was muggy. High-quality problem though, I suppose. *I didn't try the in-hotel restaurant, but there was a fairly long line at 6:30am, so it's popular, if nothing else. **Negatives: *Check-in involved a hard-copy of some sort of check-in record, and waiting for the clerk to my find my record took longer than it needed to. It's 2026 -- computerize, man.

Clean, conveniently located, and nice hotel. Very professional and warm staff. When I checked in, the staff patiently explained the whole automated process with me with a big smile. Thank you for the hospitality. You have made a big difference.
