Exactly as I would expect, clean, tidy, staff friendly. Still can't get used to the pillows budget Japanese hotels provide so I pack a little one. Apart from this the room is very comfortable. A cooked breakfast is not offered at this APA but muffins, toast and coffee provided in the foyer in the morning. Convenience stores close by if you wanted a cooked breakfast.

The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic.
The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic. It wasnt crowded, lessons for kids and adults were AUD$55 for 4 hours, lifts were @4$ per lift. Gear hire was AUD$65 for 2 days PP. In Australia lift passes are $250 per day alone. The hotel Sailor Hutte was literally at the base of the ski lifts. Food was cheap ($10-14 per meal) booze was cheap ($3.50 for a beer). The guys at the Hotel Sailor Hutte were great, make an effort to chat with them via your translator app. Its worth it. One more thing, I would recommend buying Shinkansen tickets directly from JR East rail online. Heaps cheaper than buying a seven day pass unless you are planning to spend 7 days on the train. FYI there are 3 Shinkansen companies East, Central and West. They have there own websites a bit clunky in English but it works. Good luck.

Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture.
Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture. There are many places to visit and things to do. We rented a car and I believe this is a must if you want to sight see and time is an issue for you. By car from Yamagata train station, Zao Onsen is about 40-50 minutes away, Ginzan Onsen an hour, Yamadera about 20-30 mins. If you are into photography, there are many great landscape photos you can take here.

Not very famous place for travelingas not much to see in the city.
If you could have a car or rent one, could go more places.
Basically in Yamagata prefecture, public transportation doesn't cover much as it is not a prefecture mainly for sightseeing though there are several nice places to go.

Yamagata is ideal as a base to get to Zao Onsen and Ginzan Onsen. There are bus and train connections to these two incredibly beautiful places. We also took the train through beautiful mountainous countryside to the coast to Matsushima, one of the three most beautiful places in Japan. Climbing 1100 steps at Yamadera was exhausting but so worth it when you saw the view over the valley. This area seems to be undiscovered by western tourists yet.
- Position is perfect, just next to the Kajo park, particularly fit for Sakura visit
- The owner and staffs are very nice
- Got some precious information about the Sakura
- Free food, sauce, pot and tableware, all-you-can-use to cook your own breakfast
- it is like a regular Japanese house
- The dinner, cooked by the owner, is decent, with self-decided donation (i.e. pay any amount you want)
Super affordable - location was amazingly convenient and there was breakfast + lots of amenities (shaver, brush, nightwear etc.) Breakfast had a decent spread and it was tasty enough for the price paid. Toilets were clean and of the typical Japan size. Housekeeping made the bed everyday as well. Staff could speak some English so props to them!
The staff was very helpful. They assisted in filling out the forms we needed to use the takyubin transport service to send luggage to a future accommodation.
We were given a space , just off the main lobby area where we were able to assemble our bicycles.
The breakfast buffet, both Japanese and Western, was varied and delicious.
Great hotel located right in the Yamagata train station! Friendly staff - we arrived earlier than check-in time so the front desk held our luggage for us and even again after check-out before our train arrived. The rooms were clean, modern, well-lit and more spacious than I expected. Close to lots of restaurants and shops.
Nice modern hotel with a compact room that has everything, including a oval shape bathtub with bath powder provided at the reception area. The water pressure is very good. Buffet breakfast was sumptous with choice of Japan and American set. Overall a pleasant stay. Will stay again.
Nice and cheap hotel to stay in. For a very cheap price hotel with buffet breakfast in Yamagata is very rare. So, this is one of the beat hotels to stay in Yamagata station. near by convenience stores and restaurants.
U can literally ski into the hotel :)
Friendly staff and good value for it's location
And this slope is the better slope was the ropeway and lifts are way faster than the main ropeway to the Juhyo station
Location 5 mins away from Yamagata station
Free breakfast
Usual budiness hotel amenities, there were even large-sized nightgowns available
Smooth check-in and check-out process with baggage drop-off
Very nice hotel, good rooms. Staff extremely kind and helpful, with possibility to find someone in the team speaking english. Possibility to find food for western breakfast, not only japanese style.
Perfect location for access to the city centre.
Hotel looked a bit dated but you couldn’t find fault: comfortable bed, amenities, good bathroom, tv, slippers, yukata,….
Beautiful view and lighting in the room. This hotel is more environmentally aware, and does a child sponsorship program I think. Breakfast was pretty good!
