By the time I booked a room, there were hardly any left in Akita. APA is in dispute with much of the Chinese nation, so it was my hope that this hotel would not be full. It wasn't, lucky me.

Not a great location. A good 20-25 minute walk from the station and airport bus stop. One convenience store around the corner. Hard to find any restaurants around.

Decent, clean standard room. No complaints, nothing outstanding. Staff were polite. Keydrop checkout so I only really saw them when I got there.

Standard business hotel, only place available

We stayed for 3 nights in this hotel, it is relatively clean and tidy. Rooms are extremely small and you struggle to fit a suitcase in the room, but it's in Japan, so we expected that. The worst thing is the room temperature, you might like to be warm, but the Japanese love to be hot. And even though this hotel has individual air conditioning in each room, they keep the control panel in your room locked under central management control and they don't let you venture more than a degree or two either side of a preset limit. So the coolest we could go was the equivalent of a hot summers day in the south of Spain... they even have a notice at reception saying that "you can't change the room temperature, so it you don't like it don't check in"!! I stayed in two other hotels in Japan with this brand over the course of two weeks. This is my only issue with this chain of hotels but unfortunately it would stop me from staying here again. 

So so hot in the rooms

Ok, I really do hope owner of this hotel do read my comments carefully, it is probably one of the worth hotel I have stayed in Japan so far. 

Staff - 
How can staff members of such a large multi-franchise hotel group don’t speak English to accommodate tourists? 

Room- 
1. Carpet is extremely dirty, 

2. Inconsistent of service - 
For the first two nights they provided water and room slippers and for some reasons they stopped giving out the water and slippers on the third night.  

3. If you book through booking.com you only get a “hard bed” which you have he to pay 1000 Yen extra if you want “soft bed”. I found that ridiculous, I have never pay extra for a softer bed.

Access to the laundry -
The lift on the right get you to the laundry BUT the silly thing is the right lift comes randomly... so if the left lift comes first I have to press any floor for the left lift so I can access the right lift. 

Parking - 
If you are going to charge 500 yen parking per night then you’ll have to make sure you have sufficient parking spaces to accomodate ALL cars, you can’t charge me 500 yen a night then tell me parking is full and I have go to the car park around the corner and pay overnight parking. 

Overall, I am VERY disappointed at the hotel and will not be returning to any APA franchise group hotels anywhere in the world.
