The day after staying at the JAL Kanazawa Hotel, I changed my stay to one night because the reviews were so good. The exterior looks like a combination of a ryokan and a hotel, and the rooms are designed with a ryokan in mind, but also have a hotel a**osphere. I was looking forward to staying there because it was also featured in the Michelin Guide. At first glance, it seems good in every aspect, but the service is business-like (perhaps more manual) and there is no sense of luxury at all. The room is clean from the entrance and has been well thought out. When I entered the room with high expectations, the furnishings and facilities were perfect, but there were some cheap feelings in places. The toilet door, the bathtub faucet that could not be adjusted to the temperature, etc. However, it was not all bad. Bottled water and amenities were perfect and there was a basket to go to the large public bath. However, the large public bath was not very large, there were not many lockers, and there were not many places to wash. There is also a lounge, but it is like a drink bar at a family restaurant. If you look in expecting tea, coffee, and black tea, you will be disappointed. There are no sweets or other things to be careful about in terms of food. There is no restaurant in the hotel at night, so you have to eat at the station or ask the hotel for delivery. There is a delivery list in the room. Please note that there are no convenience stores nearby. The breakfast venue has tables for two, and the distance between the people next to you is just enough for one adult to get out. I wondered why we were pushed in there when there were empty tables after 9:30. Of course, the seat was vacant after that. There were many types of food, but I felt that there were many dishes that were processed with chicken and tofu, which did not incur a cost. The seasoning was delicious. The Kanazawa curry had no ingredients at all. The salad was made with local vegetables, and was fresh, sweet, and delicious. There was one type of cheap cake for dessert. A large plate of pudding and four kinds of small cut fruits. There was also a mochi with ice cream inside. However, it was not the breakfast I expected. Overall, I think it was a little different if you are staying at a luxury hotel or inn. The price was not much different from JAL, so I felt that it was JAL for me in terms of service, facilities, and location. Each person's rating will vary based on their own experience, but I don't understand why it has been given such a high rating.
