Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata

8/10 Good

"酒店位置很好，就在山形站旁边。房间还可以，但比较小。停车场的位置和入口非常难找，我们绕了很大一圈才找到。另外，我把洗面奶落在酒店后曾与酒店沟通，但酒店不愿意帮忙寄出，也不愿意接受到付寄送，这点体验不好。"

"The room was just like any business hotel room. It was clean but definitely dated in some places. Breakfast buffet was great. Free refreshments. Onsen was great.
