ANA Crowne Plaza AKITA by IHG, an IHG Hotel

Short walking distance from Akita station. Room was nice, but very basic. View was of the building, but I don't mind not having a view. Close to 7-11 which is inbetween the hotel and the station.

Dated

Room is super nice.

We had a terrible smell in the bathroom. The fan wasn’t working so there was a mould smell

Easy walk from the train station and to the park. Breakfast and cocktail hour were great!

Comfortable and pleasant stay. Convenient location and accessible to transportation. Helpful staff, clean rooms and good amenities. Enjoyed our visits to The Lounge. Have stayed with other Crowne Plaza properties before with similar positive experiences.

Great breakfast!

Great Service! Staff are very attentive and polite.

Out of many areas where we went in Japan, Akita was the most unsafe with skateboarders (who were out to pick fights/steal with a dozen or so others) after dark. I was not expecting that. Once we stopped going out at night, everything was fine in terms of safety. They seem to target tourists, where there were plenty. On a side note, the front desk suggested a few places to eat, and the first place we went they gouged us on food we didn't order and it was super salty and not recommended. Another reason not to go out after dark there. The bathroom was tiny, the room was ok. I would not have ordered the additional breakfast as part of the package since we had gotten the room with lounge access and that already included basic breakfast which was good enough for us. The location was good, close to the bus and train (shinkansen) station.

Conveniently located to Akita Station. Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Would definitely stay again

Great service.

Lovely hotel, dining, and rooms

What’s good: location is good, 3 blocks from Akita Station; right next to Seibu store, breakfast buffet was great, bed is most comfortable out of 3 hotels I used. What’s poor: no vending machine for drinks, no complimentary bottled water unless you’re an IHG member, shower curtain does not span the tub so shower splashes all over the floor; I had an accessible room with grab bars everywhere which was nice but why is there a big 6” step UP from the room level to the bathroom??

Hotel was very accommodative of our request for an extra rollaway bed and the room was very large. The only thing to note is that there is no parking onsite and the laundry charges are charged per piece (as opposed to a simple coin laundry). The hotel is very near to food and shopping options and is essentially in the heart of the city. Other than that, we had a very comfortable stay and would definitely book again if given the chance.

Hotel room was a fantastic size, located in centre of Akita so easy to get to transport links and close by for general exploring

My family only stayed one night on our way up to Odate, but the hotel was amazing. Room was spacious, hotel staff was very friendly, and everything was very clean. We plan on staying longer on our next trip in the area.

my husband and i enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend staying there. friendly staff and great location and near the train station.

Good for short stay

Great staff, clean, amazing buffet

Beds were quite comfortable. Good breakfast available. Great location near stores and train station. Air conditioner and refrigerator in room did not work well.
