I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with friendly staff and a great location, about a 10-minute walk from Sendai JR station. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, which made for a great night's sleep. However, the breakfast could use more variety since we had the same options for five days. Overall, it’s a good choice for those looking for value for money in the area.

However, the location was a bit of a hassle since it took 10-15 minutes to walk to the Sendai JR station, so I might consider a closer place next time.
