Hotel Alpha-One Tottori

They provided POLA amenities, which made my stay comfortable ☺️

I used this as a base for trips to the Tottori Sand Dunes and Sakaiminato, and I’d stay here again. I booked a deluxe single room through Agoda for two nights, room only, and was glad it came to under 10,000 yen. The hotel is near the station, with restaurants around it. The amenities were enough, and the room wear was comfortable. It’s a little old, but very clean, and the heating kept the room comfortable.

The breakfast had lots of choices and was really delicious, so I’d recommend it. There isn’t a large public bath at the hotel, but a natural hot spring bath is within walking distance, and I was able to enjoy that too. My room and unit bath were clean, and the refrigerator was surprisingly quiet.

I stayed in a single room from December 21-22, 2025. It was a compact business hotel with the usual easy-to-use layout, though the room was a bit small. There was a luggage rack, which I liked, and the room had a telephone, tissues, hair dryer, a mug and glass, kettle, trouser press, hangers, refrigerator, shoehorn, brushes, and deodorizer. The bathroom had one glass, rinse-in shampoo, and body soap. There was also a radio and clock by the bed. The heating was centrally controlled, but I could switch it on or off, and the room stayed warm even without it in winter. Each room seemed to have its own Wi-Fi network with a password and good signal. There was also a LAN port and cable at the desk. The in-room TV had regular channels and hotel information, and could mirror a phone for watching YouTube. I could listen to AM, FM, and background music in bed. Self-service amenities and small snacks were on the first floor. The restaurant there served breakfast and dinner, though the dinner menu in the room was for a light meal. Laundry service was on the 2nd and 3rd floors, with vending machines on each floor and an ice machine in the hallway. There were several parking spaces at the hotel, a free lot, and an arrangement with a nearby lot. Show your parking ticket at check-in and they’ll take care of it for free, then return it at checkout. One partner lot is right beside the hotel and accessible through it, so check which lot is affiliated. The downtown area and a Lawson convenience store are close by; the station building is a little farther away. At check-in they gave me a hot or cold towel. They hold different events too, and I got a raffle ticket that was apparently good for a prize at checkout the next day. I forgot about it and missed out. They also gave me a hand warmer when they heard I was cold. I got the impression the hotel was making an effort to attract customers.
