Kitagata 2 Stars Hotels

"There is no free parking. If you go by car, the parking is 1,000 yen paid in cash, in advance. That would have been good to know. The hotel is under some construction now, so it was a little messy."

"The free dinner and breakfast were a pleasant surprise. Staff were helpful with figuring out ac."

"The staff were exceptionally helpful. Breakfast was tasty and the rooms were comfortable with a wonderful sea view. Super location. "

"Location is good"

"The entire hotel feels worn and in need of an update. The area along the canal is nice enough and I felt safe at night, just wish I had chosen a better hotel. "

"Staff was very helpful."

"Cool place, cool location. Has private rooms. Bed could be better. "
