Location, location, location! Right at Akabane station, the METS is near everything you need. Clean rooms, new facility, efficient laundry service. Very reasonable price, and the breakfast coupon gets you breakfast at Denny’s on 2 °F(huge Western style if you want), or food at the bakery on 1 °F. My room was quiet, bed was comfy, 2 different types of pillows to choose — and the curtains could make the room nice and dark for sleeping despite all the bright lights outside. Nice hotel on all fronts!
