Tokyu Stay Kanazawa
For a solo traveller it was a great stay. Loved having a washer dryer to catch up on my laundry. Located within walking distance to prime tourist destinations. Deep tub was very clean and perfect to soak in after long day walking in snow and cold. English friendly staff.

Very clean and well maintained rooms with a great location for quick metro access and a plethora of nearby dining. Staff was extremely helpful when it came to helping find places or arrange over the phone appointments since I speak no Japanese.
