Shiroishi Hotels with Airport pickup service

The lobby and the room were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet menu was also great. I think it would have been better if there was *. At check-out, when I was heading from the corridor to the elevator hall, the female cleaning staff looked at me and pushed the elevator call button first. I was happy to have a little attention.

仙台で宿泊する時は、郊外型格安ホテルの「シーラックパル仙台」をよく利用します。仙台中心部のビジネスホテルと比べ、立地以外に見劣りする点はほぼ皆無だからです。クルマでの移動の場合、立地による交通の便の悪さは気にならず、圧倒的なコスパの高さが気に入っています。 今回は試しにまだ新しい、このホテルを利用してみました。ホテル側が想定している客層は、「シーラックパル仙台」と恐らく同じでしょう。価格帯はこちらの方が若干高めです。 立地は国道４号線沿いで極めて判りやすい場所にあります。周辺には倉庫や作業場が立ち並び、お店の類は何もありません。白石側に少しだけ行くとコンビニがありました。建物はまだ新しくて本当にキレイです。駐車場は建物に隣接して多数の区画が設けられていました。 接客応対は、この手のホテルの中ではかなりいい方だと思います。 ホテル敷地に支配人夫婦を住み込ませるという、このホテルチェーン独自の雇用形態ですが、一部で労使間の揉め事が生じたという報道がありました。ただ、利用客の立場からすると、競合するホテルチェーンより接客応対は良好なケースが多いように感じます。 温泉のお湯は、那須の「フロラシオン那須」からの運び湯です。成分分析表で確認しました。那須でのお湯の状態がどうか判りませんが、タンクローリーで仙台まで運ばれて使われると、循環ろ過されている事もあり、特に特徴のない状態となっていました。 浴室や脱衣所は、昨今の状況を考えると狭いです。浴室の洗い場は４ヶ所、脱衣所も脱衣カゴ６個程度しか置けないコンパクトな空間です。さらに完全に締切のため換気も良くなく、ちょっと密な空間となっています。小さい窓でもあれば良かったのですが…。客室のテレビ画面で浴室の混雑具合を確認できる仕組みですが、情報がリアルタイムで更新されている訳ではなく、ちょっとタイムラグがありました。 客室や一階の食事スペースも狭いのは、他のスーパーホテルと同じです。この辺りはそういうコンセプトで割り切っているのでしょう。ただ、前述した「シーラックパル仙台」の客室は、遥かにゆったりとした空間です。 朝食バイキングの内容は、売りにしているらしい牛タンカレー以外、可も無し不可も無しといった内容でした。「シーラックパル仙台」も朝食でカレーがあり、牛タンではなく普通の豚肉カレーでしたが、味はシーラックの方が多少美味しかったように感じました。 とはいえ、オール込で六千円台前半の価格だと、あまり過大な要望は禁物です。こんなものかもしれないです。しかし、前述の「シーラックパル仙台」と比較してしまうと、現状ではこのホテル、多少分が悪いように感じた次第です。

I wanted to go to Akiho Onsen in OKU zashiki in Sendai once. It was the first impression that the old lobby was a large group for the inn, but it was very good to answer politely even if I asked anyone of the staff a little. The place for the meal was a very large venue in the form of a Viking, but there was a wagon for the elderly who were badly feet, and the old man and grandson pushed the wagon and smiled and looked at it. I became a smile. The bath was very good. I was tired and sleepy until the morning. I'm going to see you again in autumn

第二站來到山形縣的藏王溫泉♨️，入住了兩間旅館，首推這一間擁有免費露天風呂。 📍位置：位於遠離巴士站十五分鐘，坐落於山頂位置，可以預約酒店車接送到山形站，但我們完全忘記了，沒有預約，自行推行李上山到身心俱疲😩！ 🤵🏻服務：本來在退房時想寄存行李，但職員堅持當日要接團，怕沒空位而不想😒，我煩擾了幾分鐘就放棄了，雖然態度好，☹️但覺得小事都做不到。 🏠房間：一晚雙人房連早餐 HKD898.41 + JPY300 (溫泉稅） 優點：房間夠大，採用榻榻米地板☺️，並已舖好床褥，設獨立洗手間🚽，不需共享，裝潢是傳統的日式和風設計。酒店有電梯🛗，不需要自己搬行李上樓。酒店大堂寬敞舒適，設有賣手信小店，浸完溫泉♨️可以休息和逛逛。 缺點：只有一部電梯🛗，需時等侯，沒了。 ♨️溫泉：😍女湯夠大，有一個室內和室外湯呂，室外湯呂較細，只可容納四人，幸好當時只有我和家人，所以可以包場🥰，而且泉水呈奶白色，彌漫著濃郁的硫磺味道，也被稱為「美容溫泉」🤩，浸完真是覺得皮膚好了。

We arrived at Mt Zao in the middle of Our Epic Six Week Trip To Japan, during which we stayed in nine different hotels. This room was amongst my favourites. The staff largely didn't speak English and were not helpful. We had a stand off at the restaurant as we didn't understand that we couldn't dine at there without having made a booking far in advance. After this was explained,  there was no apology or suggestions for alternative dining options. There are limited dining options in Zao. We ate at the Soup Curry place one night and a cute sushi joint another night. On the last night we ended up getting an ebiken bento box from the local L****ns as nothing was open. We did book breakfast each morning and that was fantastic. Lots of Japanese and Western options and it seemed like the food had all been prepared onsite. The hotel is very pretty, with a lovely view of the forest from the lobby. There is a common room with free coffee, tea and ice creams. People were pretty friendly in there. The hotel is the furthest from the 'town' but the closest to the ski lift and to the 'sulfurous' onsen. The ski lift is about 50 metres from the hotel and the ride up and down is spectacular. I thought the onsen was top notch. The sulfurous onsen outside has milky water that is supposed to be good for your complexion. It was fun having an onsen with snow all around. We stayed in the Western style room - it was spacious and well appointed. Our little lounge area had a beautiful view of pine trees and lots of snow. There was also a similar view from the luxurious bath tub (but I didn't use that tub as the onsen was so good.) The beds in our room were very hard. Our room also had a massage chair which I used for hours a time. It was a bit of a trek getting to Mt Zao. The hotel staff weren't very helpful with organising buses but they did drop us off at the bus stop early in the morning and we were picked up on our day of arrival. I know that the staff weren't friendly to us because of the language barrier, which is a shame because everyone should enjoy this venue. I would stay here again for sure. Next time we'll book the dinner set. It did smell amazing ! --
