ANA Holiday Inn Iwate Kitakami by IHG

When I booked the hotel it was under a different name, however when we arrived to check in to reception on the 1st August, we were told that it was the first day of its new name, Holiday Inn. Staying at the hotel was very enjoyable. It was a brand new refurbished room, with new appliances and furniture. The only thing they didn't really seem to update was the bathroom. It was a 6 min walk to the main JR station and there were great amenities. Black out curtains were amazing and it was cool seeing the shinkansens zoom past from the window. Overall, if we were in kitakami again we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Breakfast was very good with a variety of options. The rooms were comfortable. Overall cleanliness was very good.

Parking space and location. Unfortunately, flower blooming was much earlier than previous years and totally gone by the time we got there, so we arrived late in the evening and left early morning.

Good location near shinkansen station. We were very much impressed by the picturesque river view from the window. Just like a painting. Breakfast was great too!

The reception staff was very kind and helpful. Also, they offered complimentary curry rice, which was delicious.
