Hotel Select Inn Aomori

The staff were like family, they were super friendly and helpful, we left our luggage at the hotel with no charge while we went to sukaya onsen/ryokan for 3 days before returning to Aomori. Free curry dinner (for paying guests) was a really nice bonus for a budget hotel, it was only simple curry sauce with rice but it was a nice touch, we were there in spring so also got free breads and beers/soft drinks daily. Make sure you look up though otherwise you might miss the entrance like we did 🤣 google maps failed us so even though we found the address we couldn’t find the entrance to the hotel easily.

I liked the view from the first room I stayed in. It's too bad front desk moved me to a different room after the first day. I stayed in a smoking room but the after smell was tolerable. The air freshener available in the room was strong enough(easy on the nose) to neutralize the smell of tobacco.

Free curry each night, and sweet bread when arriving was very nice. It was easy to find and check in just be aware that the front desk is on a higher floor after taking the elevator. It’s also nicely positioned close to the fish market.

The boiler broke down, but the hotel provided free tickets to the nearby public bath facility. The staff was very kind, let us keep the luggage at the front desk and helped us check in earlier than usual.

Staff very friendly Free dinner and breakfast included Great location from station
