Hotel Crown Hills Sendai Aoba-dori

This was my first time visiting Sendai. Since I was traveling alone, I chose an affordable place as close to the station as possible. It was about a 10–15 minute walk from Sendai Station, and next to the front desk there were free juices available after 3:00 PM. It was quite hot, so that was really helpful. The breakfast buffet offered both bread and rice, with a good variety of side dishes. Drinks were replenished quickly whenever they ran low, which was great. There is a large public bath, but the men’s and women’s baths alternate by time slot, so unfortunately I couldn’t use it at a time that suited me.

I stayed for one night to attend a theater performance.The location is convenient and close to the arcade, making it easy even on rainy days. Since the large public bath operates on a time-based rotation for men and women, I didn’t have enough time in my schedule to use it. I do prefer having separate large public baths for each. However, the Room’s compact bathroom and toilet were clean and easy to use, so I was satisfied.
