The Stay
Toyoko Inn Aomori Ekimae is located close by Aomori Station (you can see it from outside the station). It is a very close walk from the station. Compared to most of the other similar hotel I stayed at in this price range, I prefer this one the most. Most likely due to the better lighting. Most rooms in the hotel (especially ones in upper floor) have nice natural lighting. This provide a more enjoyable experience. The particular room they provide me also had a nice view of the bridge, which is a plus. The room itself is nice and clean. It came with most of the essential amenities, but don't expect fanciness. They also provide free breakfast if you desire. All in all, it was a good experience.

The Miscellaneous
The hotel is located in a good location with various shops nearby. There is a Lovina shopping mall and the Nebuta Museum in close proximity. There are various restaurants and convenient stores. But if you are looking for something more touristy, you might have to go out of the way a bit. They have automatic check in via kiosks. But in case they do not work, the staffs are very sincere and helpful in resolving the issue.

Good Hotel In A Convenient Location

I've stayed in other Toyoko Inns and I think they have maintained really good standard across the chain. This one in Aomori is no disappointment. It is easy to find and within 5-minute walk from the station, which is not a problem at all even on a snowy day. The check-in was smooth and I was able to leave my luggage in a room at the lobby before the check-in time (4PM for non-members, one hour earlier for members). The sign of free breakfast was shown at the check-in counter so I had no problem at all getting informed. 
The room, as with other Toyoko Inn rooms, is spotless and well-equipped with necessities. The bed is comfortable. The window was a bit squeaky due to the snowstorm but at other times, it's fine. 
The free all-you-can-eat breakfast is standard. Choices are limited but I felt ready for a long day of activities after stuffing myself full with rice, miso soup, egg rolls, potato salad, apple vinegar and coffee. 
Everytime I went out and in, the staff at the front desk always greeted me with welcome. They were also able to communicate in simple English, which is enough to answer my inquiries.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay. It's no 5-star hotel of course, but the price is very affordable, the quality of service is good, and I felt very comfortable staying for 2 nights. Will choose Toyoko Inn when I visit Japan again in the future. 

Good value and convenient location

Very near the train station and easy to find this is the mid range near perfect hotel that we come to expect in Japan.  Clean, decent bed and bathroom and efficient aircon. Forget the free breakfast if you are a westerner. I love Japanese food but this breakfast was very unappealing. 

Standard value

Its location advantage is evident.
The room is small but clean and has all the basic amenities we’d need. 
There’s a free breakfast with limited choice of food.
Overall, no frills, good price; very functional and appropriate for an overnight stay.

Good-value hotel less than 5 min from Aomori Station

We have stayed in this hotel for several times and the last time being on 27th Oct. We liked this hotel because it was very near to JR Station and within 5 minutes walking distance to the nearby seaside promenade and fresh markets.  The hotel provided complimentary breakfast for lodgers as early as at 6.30 am and by doing so, it would definitely facilitate those visitors who want to queue up early at the JR bus-stop in between the hotel and the train station.  Last not the least, the front desk staff were doing their duties well and assist the lodgers whenever necessary.  Recommended.

Nice Hotel near to the JR Station

Revisited the hotel after 4 years and stayed for a night. Aomori town has been affected by the opening of Hokkaido Shinkansen and hence it's quieter compared to 4 years ago.

The location of the hotel is still very strategic, and in very good condition, however due to reduction of traffic, can notice that the breakfast selection couldn't keep on par with most of other Toyoko Inns in Japan. 

Revisit after 4 years

Being a member, I have stayed in numerous Toyoko Inns. What one can expect is same standard of clean familiar rooms as well as morning breakfast. So it's the same for this Toyoko Inn which I am staying for the 2nd time. The location is unbeatable, being very close to Aomori Station, just across the Nebuta Warasse museum. However,I cannot help but notice of late the drop in service standards. The counter staff are less than friendly at times. At the lobby counter, I requested for some time (less than minute) as I was topping up money to my debit card in order to make payment.There was no other guest in queue. But I could see her impatience and and unhappy face due to the delay. I also had a less than pleasant encounter when I last stayed Toyoko Inn Hakodate less than a year back. Perhaps a case of having to deal with too many foreign visitors? It's still not all that bad for now. Just that it is something that one would not face 2 years back. I hope Toyoko Inn will take note and works towards service improvement and not let it slide further.

Very good location but genuine service seems to be lacking

standard, clean, literally at the station. Price is good too. Overall nothing special but the annoying bit comes from the fact that I stayed there for about 4-5 nights and repeatedly asked them not to bother disturbing me to clean the room on nights when I arrived to sleep there at 5 or 6am in the morning because in Japan cleaning schedules are not flexible. The hours must be completed by noon at the latest. At this dumb hotel they don't have a don't disturb sign for the door and so every day the staff would disturb my little valuable sleep and annoyed me greatly. I asked them to leave clean towels at the door and I would leave any garbage I had (almost nothing) outside the door too. This procedure became impossible for the non-flexible staff to deal with! There was no language barrier because I communicated this in Japanese. You can read between the lines. Oh, and when leaving and arriving the key drop/pick up system took far too long as well. Thats why this is average-annoying. Other hotels in the city are better. The breakfast here was also very average and kind of chaotic.
