Hotel was reasonably priced with fully-functional WiFi and needed amenities in central Hachinohe. Double was under 7,000 yen, and parking optional but cheaper across street. Many dining options on main street of Hachinohe. Convenience store on 1st floor. Public bus from station about 20 minutes - 270 yen.

Amazing service!

Reviewed By lovemykidsallthetime

We stayed in the Richmond Hotel for 14-nights, averaging ¥10,000 (US$92) per night for a Hollywood Twin room (25m2 or 275 sq. ft.) over Christmas & New Year. Parking (mechanical parking, but usually only a 2-minute wait) with in-&-out privileges was ¥900 per day. The staff were just amazing. Some of the most friendly, helpful, & patient service that I have ever received anywhere in the world! Because of the new year, a lot of restaurants were fully booked or closed, but the team were very patient to help us book our party of 9 into restaurants that they could find. There was always someone at the front desk who was fluent in English. It was also a great staging point for us to head to the ski resorts. And the duck soba restaurant next door, Kaneshime Kakizaki Soba, was a frequent favourite. The Richmond Hotel was further from the train / bus station than most of the other hotels, but was still a firm favourite that delivered on all counts!

Convenient Location, Great Hotel

Reviewed By stellastarstruck

I like the Richmond Hotel Yamagata for the location. It is just behind the station, the quieter side. There is a convenience store and a grocery store nearby, plus a concert hall and a building which houses a cinema and several restaurants. Inside the hotel, I made use of the drinks lounge. Soft drinks and coffees and teas are available to be taken to our rooms or they can be drunk in the lounge. It is a nice place to sit and read a book or do a bit of work. My room was lovely and quiet, with a view of the concert hall's parking lot! It had everything I needed in it. I opted for the Eco Room cleaning and was happy to have an option like that. I often stay at the Richmond in Yamagata and always enjoy myself.

Great location in Hirosaki

Reviewed By elliottd358

Appreciated the location within walking distance of Hirosaki Castle Park. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The young lady that checked us in and the older lady that served the late-night noodles were both very kind and helpful. Strangely, the male staff members we interacted with all came across as rather nervous/standoffish/brusque as if they did not want to deal with (Japanese-speaking) foreigners. That said, we enjoyed exploring the city and the Dormy Inn is a great base for doing that. Make sure to check out the rooftop onsen (especislly in the snow) during your stay. There is a great view of Mount Iwaki as well.

Dependable chain of identical hotels, inexpensive, clean.

Reviewed By ggm96822

Down to the rubber ducks floating in the rooftop outdoor public pool, this Dormy Inn was identical to others in which I have stayed, including the television in the sauna, the rubber ducks, the free bowl of soba at bedtime, the mediocre breakfast, the tiny room (there's barely space to leave your shoes by the door) with very small window and useless closet, the pajamas, hairdryer, available washing machine and clothes dryer. Convenient location, a step up from many business hotels, but certainly nothing luxurious.

Bed as hard as concrete

Some good things here - the staff do their best, the room is clean and everything works; the breakfast is better than average for Japanese business hotels. But all of these things count for little if you can't sleep in comfort, and the bed is simply as hard as a block of concrete.

A comfortable and convenient hotel

Reviewed By oftheplanet

The staff are really good to provide the wam and considerable service. It's very convenient that 7-11 is just next to it, and also near the railway station. All is good for the stay but the room is very small as all the standard Japanese hotels. However, we were outsides for the daytime the room space doesn't bother me.
