Hirata MAPLE Hotel

The supermarket next door made shopping convenient, except during the New Year holidays. There’s also a hot spring about a 10-minute walk away, which helped me relax after the journey. Snow meant I couldn’t get home, so I was very grateful when the front desk let me extend my stay in the same room. Everyone was courteous, and I felt at ease there. I called the front desk about cleaning after 10am during reception hours, and they responded right away. Their thoughtfulness and hospitality really stood out when I had a problem. I’d definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

There’s a supermarket right next to Maple Hotel and a convenience store a little farther away, which is handy. The trip from Izumo Airport takes over an hour by public transport, or a taxi costs around 3500 yen. I was in a smoking room, but it was okay. The air conditioning is centrally controlled, so apparently you can’t adjust the temperature yourself. There’s no hairbrush in the room, but you can buy one at the front desk for 50 yen.

Stayed in November 2024. It’s a standard business hotel, with plenty of parking and supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Breakfast wasn’t fancy, but it was quite tasty.

I stayed as part of a tour and found the hotel nice and clean. The receptionist was very friendly. There’s no large public bath, but a nearby hot spring that allows day visits was nice. I went by myself and felt very happy there.
