Clean, friendly staff, big room we have been traveling Japan for awhile now and we are used to the small room no big deal but when we walk into our big room we were pleasantly surprised
Not only did we pay a good price for the room it was big and clean
Only problem was we did not stay longer 10/10

The room is largest among most APA hotels across Japan. Most importantly, the heat can be adjusted even completely turn off. unfortunately, the bathroom water supply was cut off in the morning due to Hotel’s technical issue, which had not been resolved during my stay.

The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant of the hotel was overpriced and the food was not good nor were there decent portion sizes. We booked a non-smoking room but the entire hallway was filled with cigarette smoke. Our room even had cigarette smoke coming through the vent in the bathroom and filled our room with that same smoke. We had the room window open overnight in an attempt to deal with the smoke.

Value for money

The hotel is located at the south side of the train station and is only 5 mins walk away. I had low expectations with respect to the stay as the rates were low. I was surprised with the level of comfort and the room size. The breakfast was basic though. This is my first stay at an APA hotel and I would be happy to stay in another!

They charge 21,620 yen for a room that is barely enough to fit one person. At the same time the Green Morris which is 8 minutes walk away, charges 6,500 yen for a room that is double the size and has the same amenities. Also, breakfast is served in a windowless basement and they charge 1,800 yen for it, while Green Morris charges 600 yen for a restaurant that has floor to ceiling windows and you can see outside.

Quiet hotel near the train station. Has a few dining options around the hotel. Like most small cities/towns, they mostly close early(8-9pm). So eat early, or resort to 711/familymart food.

Hotel is currently under renovations. This has not impacted my sleep/stay. I did not hear any noise during my stay.

Rooms are clean. The staff at the reception are very friendly. They fixed an error for me. I didnt know I selected a smoking room. The receptionst was able to put me in a non smoking room.

I would stay with them again when im back in Totori. Arigatou!

It’s an option if necessary stay at Tottori

The overall feeling of the hotel is just ok, but not comfortable. In the triple room, the room and bed size are big comparatively. One bed is a sofa bed in the triple room. You will feel the folding part of the sofa when sleeping. I don’t know why all receptionists are trainees. A bit hard to communicate in English. Also, not enough parking. But It’s still worth to choose it if you necessary need to stay at Tottori as no choices in here.

The room is bigger than APA Hotels in Tokyo. There is microwave (free use) at the coin laundry room which is helpful if you want to heat up food. The hotel location is strategic with Tottori station, several convenience stores, and post office within walking distance.

Staff's English proficiency can be a hit or miss: generally alright but I encountered one staff who did not even understand \"airport\".

One thing to take note that during cold season, there is no air conditioning with the air conditioning is working as a heater. I would appreciate it if this is communicated to guests during check in.

Inexpensive hotel conveniently located

This is an hotel that might be considered orientated to the business traveller but nevertheless provides a clean, comfortable and reasonably priced stay for the holiday traveller who does not seek a host of frills and extras.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. Our third bed was a sofa bed but was not at all uncomfortable for that.
I was not expecting the car parking charge but having said that, 500 Yen is hardly going to break the bank and many other places will charge double that for overnight parking.
The location, so close to the train station, is very convenient and it was very easy to find a different place to eat within walking distance each evening that we were there.
Breakfast was nothing special but they did have as much crab as one might want; good for those who want to eat crab. No smorgasbord of delights but there was enouh there to give a basic start to the day.
Check out is very efficient and there is a simple key-drop facility for those who have had no extras on top of their initial payment.

Close to the station. Clean. No kombinis nearby. And wow, the bed mattresses were a step above sleeping on concrete. The pillows were miserably small and thin. We were given a room with a view of a construction ladder so we had to keep the curtains closed. Construction started at 7am. Gee, would have been nice to have been alerted. The price was good for ekimae but would not stay here again. The man at the reception area was super nice. The woman obviously didn’t enjoy her job. If you can’t be nice, work somewhere else.

室内やホテルの共有部分は大変清潔です。でもなぜか浴室は、大変清潔なのに、変な匂いがしました。下水の匂いのような、洗濯物の生乾き臭のような嫌な匂いです。下水から匂いが上がってきているのかなと思い、浴槽内にシャワーでお湯を流してみましたが匂いは消えませんでした。
それから、ホテルの紹介に、ホテルに駐車場完備とあったので、もちろんホテルのすぐ横にスペースが十分あると思い安心してこのホテルを予約しましたが、結局は満車で停められず、歩いて五分以上かかる提携駐車場に停めに行くハメに。騙された気分でした。
朝のバイキングは1700円もしますが種類は少なく美味しくありません。肉じゃがという表記のおかずがあったので、蓋を開けると、中身はぶり大根。まぁいいですけど…。コーヒーはポットに淹れてずっと温熱機の上に置いてあるものなので、冷めてはいないが香りは吹っ飛び美味しくない。ホテル近くのファミマのコーヒーの方が何倍も美味しいです。次泊まることは無いとは思いますが、もし泊まることになれば朝食は近所のファミマで調達する方が何倍も美味しく、お安いので、そうするつもりです。アパ社長さんをテレビで何回も拝見して、あの方の展開されるホテルなら、満足度は高いだろうと期待して初めて宿泊しましたが、残念な結果になりました。部屋も狭くて、宿泊費も高い。次どこかでビジネスホテルにお世話になる時はアパホテル以外にしようと思います。
