Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kanazawa

I was positively surprised with my stay at this hotel. I booked last minute for the Japanese holidays and there were very few of options left in the city. I expected just a clean, basic stay in very budget hotel, but it turned out to be a great and quite comfortable experience. I'm not sure if it's because it's Japan, but this hotel felt much better than other similar options I've stayed in the past, like Ibis. It was extremely clean, the bed comfortable enough bed (though the pillows were quite high), and the water, lighting and temperature control were very modern and made us feel at ease. The location is another highlight. Easily accessible from the station by taxi or bus, close to the fish market and within walking distance to many other attractions. The surrounding area is also modern and pleasant to live in. The staff's English was limited but service was polite and very good, as you would expect in Japan. The only downsize is the room size. It's really small. While it feels cozy, so it's not suffocating for 2 people, a large suitcases it will take up most of the floor space.
