Toyoko Inn Morioka Eki Minami Guchi Ekimae

Perhaps the worst hotel throughout my Tokyo-Tohoku trip. Staffs are not at all friendly, it almost felt like discrimination because the reception greeted all their guests with their usual "welcome" and "thank you", but not the 'Chinese looking guests'. They don't speak English well either. The toilet malfunctioned for almost 2 hours in the morning, there was no water to flush. There is no wardrobe to store clothes, no space to even place our luggages. Worst of all, there is only one elevator (mind you, it's a multi-storey hotel, it's so tall it could be seen from Morioka station itself). Which hotel has only 1 elevator? The lift was full and it stopped at almost every floor in the morning full, and some guests could not enter the lift and had to wait for another round. Imagine the guests that stay on the lower floors with luggages. Although this hotel is fairly near the Morioka station, we would not recommend it at all. There are other hotels with better amenities as close as 100 metres from this hotel. And it's not exactly cheap - it was the same price as the best 3-star hotel we've stayed in Sendai (and Sendai is a much bigger town).

12階建てホテルでエレベーターが一基しかないので、朝食やチェックアウト時は特に中層階では2〜3回見送ることになる。上がってくるエレベーターに乗ってしまい折り返しで下がるのが早い。

房間超細，開喼位置也沒有，房間還有柱子阻礙。 只有一部升降機，每次都很擠迫。 早餐款式一般。
