"Hotel Tappi is an outstanding place to stay to relax and enjoy the scenic view of the ocean bay. Superb food choice for dinner. The Japanese onsen was great and relaxing for a stress-free stay. My family and I plan on coming again next year to stay and enjoy the surrounding area. "

"The hotel was fine, but felt 'aimed at a target audience that doesn't include me.' Maybe someone a couple decades older would enjoy this place, though. **Positives: *Spacious room....if you're used to business hotel-sized rooms, anyhow. *The view from the window included a little bit of ocean. *The bathroom floor was level with the hallway, which is a pleasant surprise after getting used to the "step up/down" that is the usual business hotel bathroom. *Bed was comfortable for sleeping on and 'comfortable enough' for sitting on. *Shower was spacious enough to not bump my elbows into the walls, which is always a nice change of pace. **Neutral: *The AC was overly aggressive -- it was other 'a bit too cold' or it was muggy. High-quality problem though, I suppose. *I didn't try the in-hotel restaurant, but there was a fairly long line at 6:30am, so it's popular, if nothing else. **Negatives: *Check-in involved a hard-copy of some sort of check-in record, and waiting for the clerk to my find my record took longer than it needed to. It's 2026 -- computerize, man."
"Clean, conveniently located, and nice hotel. Very professional and warm staff. When I checked in, the staff patiently explained the whole automated process with me with a big smile. Thank you for the hospitality. You have made a big difference."
"This was a strange one. Last year, we stayed at the Art Hotel in Aomori which was brand new. The Art Hotel in Hirosaki is a short walk from Hirosaki station and seems to be an older hotel that has undergone renovation when taken over by Art Hotels. The room was a bit cramped, albeit that there were three of us and that they had to add a portable bed to the room, but the strange thing was the bathroom. It was the biggest bathroom I've ever seen in a hotel in Japan with two sinks and a large shower/bathtub stall. They had a nice breakfast buffet at a reasonable price with local specialties, i.e. apples since it's Aomori prefecture, which is good because there's not much going on in Hirosaki around the train station. But there is a Gusto family restaurant we went to about a five minute walk from the hotel.
Now I want to say something about the staff working there. In a rush to catch a train, I forgot my cane at the front desk and was already on the train when I realized that. My wife called the staff and explained and they packed it up nicely and overnighted to our next hotel. Yes, we had to pay for the shipping, but I appreciate the diligence of the staff in returning it to me."
"If you've stayed at an APA hotel before then you know what to expect (ie. small room, big TV), so I'll just skip to what stood out to me during this trip. **Positives: *Front desk was exceptionally helpful during check-in, streamlining the process. *Electrical outlets on either side of the bed kept me from running a power cable across the bed diagonally or sleeping at an angle, or something goofy like that. *The AC was highly effective, which is always welcome. When it's July, I'd rather have it get a bit chilly than be stuck somewhere where it's too warm. *I plugged my Switch in the TV and played it with no issues. *The bathroom was comfortable, the shower was nice. *A self-serve mini-conbini in the lobby, like at the Ayase location in Tokyo! Fun. I didn't use it, but had a stayed longer, I may have. **Neutral: *I only stayed here a single night so I didn't look into the laundry or vending machine offerings. **Negatives: *This was a REALLY narrow room; I basically sidled in-between the desk and the bed. It made doing Fitness Boxing 3 pretty awkward, but I managed."
"As someone who generally stays at APA hotels and the occasional capsule hotel, I'd consider this room to be "super-nice." It was a like an APA room but slightly more spacious and where most everything in the room was 'slightly nicer.' **Upsides: *The sliding door that separated the bedroom from the entryway went a long ways toward dampening sounds from the hallway, to the extent where I didn't hear anything when I had the door closed. *The bathroom was level with the entryway floor; it had the toilet and shower I've used at newer capsule hotels, but this time I didn't have to share them with anyone. *I didn't use the laundry room, but apparently the washing machine was free and the dryer cost 100yen per 20 minutes. Assuming the drying isn't "the slowest dryer I've yet to use in Japan" then this should come out to being a fine price for laundry. *The TV didn't prevent my from plugging in my Switch and playing some games. **Neutral: *Front desk was on the 4th floor, which I didn't see the sign saying until I'd taken a lap around the building, wondering where to go. *The two vending machines sold 'stuff I might buy,' but alas no hot coffee (which seems to require me to go to conbini for my after-meal cans of hot coffee, in Aomori in the summer). *There's apparently a public bath here, but I didn't use it. **Negatives: My view from the window was 'mostly of a wall,' although there was some cityscape from a certain angle."
"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)."
