ART HOTEL Aomori

8/10 Good
"The room put off a feeling "this is a pretty nice little room," the moment I walked in. The furniture was nice, the TV was "nice but not huge," the carpet was nice, the bathroom was nice. The big down-side: It was uncomfortably warm in that room (in July, in Aomori), although the fact that I brought my own fan pretty much offset that. **Positives: *The black-out curtains weren't messing around. Even when it was sunny out, you wouldn't know it, if you had them drawn; they also kept the room cooler, when drawn. *The bed was super-comfortable for both sleeping on and sitting on while working on my laptop. *The TV made it easy to plug in my Switch and play some TotK. *The bathroom was 'generally pretty nice' but the shower was a stand-out; powerful, warm, and convenient. A ~very nice~ shower. *Check-in was 'pretty quick and mostly painless;' check-out was 'handed a guy my card, said thank you and was on my way.' *There was one of each of a Family Mart, 7-11 and Lawson within maybe a 4-7 min radius of the hotel. **Neutral: *I didn't check to see if there was a coin laundry in the hotel. *There were two vending machines, but I didn't use them. I don't think they had either hot coffee (which I like after meals) or zero-calorie side (which I like ~with~ meals), so they weren't useful to me. *Negatives: *The AC was weak; I supplemented it with my electric hand-fan to stay comfortable. *Room was sparkling, except for spots that clearly go ignored (eg. trim; behind stuff)."
