Hotel Pearl City Akita Kanto Odori

I’d been vaguely avoiding this place because the exterior looks a bit old, but when I stayed for the first time it was surprisingly comfortable. Some parts of the Facility and layout do feel dated, but amenities and loan items are well stocked, and everything is kept clean, so I had a very pleasant stay. The signage around the property is also easy to understand. I was also happy there was a water dispenser. The front desk staff were good as well—helpful without being overbearing. Since there’s no written note of your Room number (maybe because it’s prepaid?), you might want to take a photo with your phone so you don’t forget it when leaving your key at the desk.

The building looks a bit old from the outside, but the interior is clean and offers great value for money. Breakfast has a good variety, and the Onsen eggs were delicious with rich yolks. The breakfast venue is on the 9th floor, with a great view.
