Hachinohe Morning Market

The room was actually a trailer- which was unexpected. It was kind of very tight. The sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable and blocked the whole rooms. Kind of tripping hazard if the others want to use the bathroom at night. The facility was very clean. The onsen was very nice.

This APA location was shiny, new and nice all over. My biggest complaint about the stay was with the city and its sidewalks. Read on if you're interested! **Positives: *Various signs of of the hotel being fancy and nice: Slick lights on the keycard scanners, near-silent elevators...and that's all that comes to mind atm. *Hot coffee in the vending machine! That was a nice change of pace, after a week in Aomori where I had to go into a conbini to get a couple cans of hot coffee after meals. *Room was all-around "pretty darn comfortable." *AC was a standout -- unlike AC that you have to adjust every time you notice it's either too hot or too humid in the room, this AC kept the temperature even and super-comfortable, late-July. It even emitted a very relaxing windy sound. **Neutral: * I didn't do laundry, so I didn't notice how expensive it was. **Negatives: *Yikes, the noise. *A ~20min walk from the station to the hotel, with no tram. There might be busses from the station to the hotel; I didn't check. *During that 20min walk to/from the station (and another stroll on another day), I looked for a path that had sidewalk all the way from the station to the hotel (checking the 3 routes in Google Maps); I didn't find one. Not at ALL convenient, when you have a suitcase in tow. You can follow sidewalk from the station to a 7-11 parking lot not far away, cut across it and return to sidewalk...but that's apparently the best you can do, atm. Develop that city please, Hachinohe.
