Tohoku 2015 東北の旅 - Toyoko Inn Sendai Higashi Guchi 2 東横INN仙台東口2号館

Stayed 11.10.2015 (Sun)
Reserved thru' Toyoko Inn website.
- Single room = 7,128 yen
- Twin room = 9,288 yen



My top pick for accommodation is still Toyoko Inn whenever I plan a night stay in a city area in Japan; and so far, it has not left me disappointed. Currently, Toyoko Inn has a total of four branches in Miyagi Prefecture and all four are located in its capital city of Sendai. Three of them are located withing walking distance away from Sendai JR Station (at least 5 minutes walk) and another one is situated near Hirose-dori subway station 広瀬通駅 (just one station away from Sendai subway station).

Different. Chose Toyoko Inn Sendai Higashi Guchi No. 2 東横INN仙台東口2号館, which is just separated from its sister branch (Higashi Guchi No. 1) by another building, because the desired room types were not available in the other two. The room type, design and the services offered in every Toyoko Inn follows the same model and does not differ really much. Toyoko Inn Sendai Higashi Guchi 2 is situated in a residential area, therefore noticeably quieter at night. One notable difference for this particular branch is its external appearance. The distinctive shades of brown which Toyoko Inn typically utilised as the main colour scheme for its hotels, is replaced by grey colour. Despite the less familiar colour scheme, it is hard for the large, recognisable signboards found on the roof of this 8 storey tall building to go unnoticed when trying to locate the hotel.
