Rooms
This Japanese-modern hotel with 58 rooms stands 5 minutes by car from Kanazawa Station. Rooms range from the 32 sq m Standard type to the 45 sq m Comfort Deluxe for up to 5 guests and the 45 sq m Triple for 3 guests only. The 75 sq m Premium Twin suits longer family stays, and the 80 sq m Corner Family has 4 beds, 3 sets of futon bedding and a sofa bed for up to 8 guests (stays for 7 or 8 guests require a phone inquiry in advance). When 3 or more guests share a room, Airweave Shiki-Futon four-season futon bedding is used, and every room has its own bathroom with a separate washing area. A barrier-free 42 sq m room is also available.
Dining
Breakfast is served in the first-floor restaurant from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., with last orders at 9:30 a.m., and the Japanese-Western buffet offers around 80 items made with local ingredients. There is a kids' buffet gathering dishes that children love, and the restaurant also has private booths where families can eat without worrying about those around them. The menu carries allergy labeling. Dinner is generally not served, so guests dine at restaurants in the surrounding area.
Baths
On the first floor is Yuya, a gender-separated communal bath fed by subsoil water from the Hakusan mountain range, open from 4 p.m. to midnight and from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. There is no private-hire bath, so a parent and child of different genders who want to bathe together will need to use the bathroom with a washing area in their own room.
