APA Hotel Takaoka Ekimae

Nice rooms but a bit on the small size (true to pictures). Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a public bath with water from a source (can't remember where) which was a nice touch and definitely enjoyed by Japanese people. There are laundry facilities which are relatively well priced.

Good location close to the station, APA Hotels are comfortable and nice. The attention was good as well. This Location in particular has an Onsen type of bath on the second floor, which sounds amazing, sadly I couldn't try it this one time, but it was one of the reasons I booked it in the first place. I had an amazing view from my window. Note that you'll hear the train and the announcement of the station, I'm very sensitive to noise, but this didn't make me uncomfortable in the slightest being on the 10th Floor. I would recommend this APA hotel!

Its about 2 minutes away from the train station, so there is many food available. The hotel has only 10 over parking lots, staff was very kind enough to share all the nearby parking before hand which was extremely helpful. The tap water is delicious haha, its tasted even nicer than the bottle provided! The bath was big enough as well, even though there was many people but it felt comfortable. Love the bed and the pillows, always have neck issues but its actually quite good, thought of purchasing it online! Check in and out was extremely smooth.

The hotel is well located and very close to the railway station by walk less than 5 minutes. Very convenient if you need to take train to other areas to commute. The onsen in the hotel is superb with long open time that can help relax my body after a whole day visit in the city. The room facilities are very comprehensive. The bed and pillow are very comfortable.

I have stayed here twice now, and the staff have been very accommodating at every turn. You can update the number of people in your room until midnight, and they made it very easy to ask for a late checkout (you can select a button on the TV in your room to extend by 1-3 hours). Everything is very clean and feels new. The TV in the room is huge! The room is small, but the bed is lofted so you can put your luggage underneath. It makes the room feel a bit bigger. The bath isn’t particularly fancy, but it’s comfortable. I like to be able to check the crowd level from my hotel room before I go bathe, and it’s nice to go there in the yukata provided by the hotel. The location is great if you are going to travel by local train the next morning, as it is directly next to Takaoka station. There are also a lot of nice bars and restaurants within walking distance.
