Hotel Inn Tsuruoka
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.25 out of 5 (4,056 reviews). Guests report thoughtful touches for families with babies and toddlers, such as children's towels being provided and the staff chilling ice packs for them. At the breakfast buffet, families could try Yamagata imoni (a local taro stew) and build rice bowls with the toppings they liked, and reviewers say their children happily ate it. On the other hand, the communal bath has few washing stations for the number of rooms and can get crowded in busy periods, which is worth keeping in mind.
