Smile Hotel Aomori

I arrived on the last JAL flight to Aomori Airport. I thought the bus stop would be Aomori Station, but I got off two stops earlier at “Shinmachi 2-chome,” and it was just across the intersection—very convenient!I had heard in a Review that the Room was on the small side, but since I only planned to sleep there, I had no complaints. The power outlet was near my head, and the Wi-Fi worked fine. At night I went to FamilyMart, but there were quite a few touts along the way, which made me feel a little uneasy about safety…Above all, breakfast was delicious overall. My companion especially liked the squid menchi and even went back for seconds.If I visit Aomori again, this is a Hotel I’d like to stay at again.

It’s a bit far from the station. Since I was prioritizing value for money this time, I chose this place because it was the cheapest, even though it’s a little over a 15-minute walk.By bus it’s 170 yen (IC transit cards accepted), and by taxi it’s around 900 yen. I planned to walk, but it was pouring rain.The building is old, but the inside felt clean.The front desk staff were also very helpful.Amenities were minimal—about what you’d expect. Were cotton swabs available?The shower water pressure was a bit weak, perhaps due to water-saving settings.
