forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.23 out of 5 (2,722 reviews). Guests report that the front desk looked after them well even when staying with a child under school age and that they had a comfortable stay, and some mention spacious rooms with a fan. The location is close to central Morioka, which makes it easy to explore on foot. On the other hand, some guests report that the walls seem thin and that they could not sleep because they could hear a child crying in another room at night.

Overview
Hotel Bright Inn Morioka is a business hotel a 2-minute walk from Morioka Bus Center and 10 minutes by car from Morioka Station. Children of elementary school age and under co-sleep free of charge, and rooms range from 15 to 30 sq m in single, double, twin, Hollywood twin and triple types. Breakfast is a buffet built around ingredients from Iwate Prefecture, at 1,100 yen for elementary school children and free for children who have not yet started elementary school. There is no communal bath and no playroom, so what the hotel offers families is the basics, such as free co-sleeping and the option to extend checkout.

Single rooms come in 15, 16, 21 and 24 sq m sizes, with beds either 120 cm or 140 cm wide.

There is also a Hollywood twin room (18 sq m) whose beds can be joined to a width of 200 cm; with a gap-filler pad, families with a co-sleeping child can use it as a king-size bed. The triple room (24 sq m) is a twin room fitted with three 90 cm-wide beds, sleeps up to 3 and works well for family trips. A ladies' floor is also available, bookable only when the guests staying are women. Some rooms can be set up as connecting rooms - two adjoining rooms opened up so they can be used together - if arranged in advance, which is convenient for families. Rooms are equipped with a humidifier and a bidet toilet, while irons and desk lamps are available to borrow.
