Yamagata Eki Nishiguchi Washington Hotel

Nice location easy walk from jr station but too small bed

* Building connection to JR Yamagata Station * A lot of shops and eating place nearby * Reasonably priced * Room is clean and staff is attentive * Walking distance to the bus terminal

* Room is quite small * Lobby is on top floor and elevator to rooms can only be accessed from the lobby so you need to take the elevator twice every time you go out or come back.

The view was spectacular if you like being high up. It was very conveniently located. The staff were very friendly. It was clean.

The beds were very small (as expected for a twin room) and VERY close together - the room was sized for a double bed with maybe 10 cm between the two twins, and the duvet didn't have a cover on and kept sliding off the bed during the night. A friend in a double room had a cover on his duvet as he was in a double room. I'm not sure why the twin wasn't provided with them, especially considering it was more expensive than two double rooms. Also, it was a non-smoking room but still tended to smell of smoke at times (thankfully not at all times).
