Ageo Tobu Hotel ★★★

"I stayed here alone, a woman traveling from the countryside, to see a concert. It's about 10 minutes from Saitama-Shintoshin Station without transfers, and since it's adjacent to Ageo Station, it's right outside the ticket gate. Even though it was my first time, I had no trouble finding it. There are convenience stores, cafes, and restaurants nearby. I don't normally smoke, but this time the only room available was a smoking room, so I chose that. I was worried about the smell, but it was kept clean and I didn't find it too much. It does smell, so I think people who are sensitive to smells should avoid it. It's not the latest hotel, so I wouldn't recommend it for people who are particularly fastidious, but it was well-cleaned and, above all, the front desk staff were very kind. The station was clean and the area seemed safe, so I would definitely stay here again."

APA Hotel Saitama Ageo-Ekimae ★★

Hotel Route-Inn Ageo ★★★

"It was very conveniently located about a 5-minute drive from my destination. However, there weren't many restaurants nearby and the building was old. I've been using newer Route Inns recently, so I really felt the history of the hotel."

Hotel Mates Ageo ★★

"Perfect. Beautiful."

Musashino Grand Hotel and Spa ★★★

"This hotel comes with a voucher for "Hanasaki no Yu," one of my favorite natural hot spring bathhouses in the neighborhood. It seems to be run by the same company. I've been interested in this hotel for a while, but the hotel and the hot spring are a 5-minute walk away, separated by Route 16, which is quite busy. You can see it from both sides. Apparently there used to be a shuttle bus, but now there isn't. That was a problem, but this time, I had the chance to stay for a night, and I got a plan that included a bedrock bath and breakfast. The hotel is located along the national highway, near an industrial park, and there is almost nothing around. There is only a ramen shop next door. There is a large parking lot, and you basically come by car, but it is about a 5-minute walk from Yoshinohara on the New Shuttle. The lobby is stylish and city hotel-style. The rooms are spacious, the beds are Simmons, and I think they are well-cleaned. The double-glazed windows mean you don't have to worry about road noise. There is a massage chair in the room. The hot spring has an Asian taste (Vietnamese?) concept, and there are many types of bathtubs and the spring quality is good, so I recommend it. You can bathe as many times as you like during your stay, but you will need to get a bathing ticket from the front desk each time. The bedrock bath area is not large, but it is comfortable. What's nice is that the drink bar is included in the price. We had dinner at this restaurant. There was a wide selection on the menu, and the hotel also gave us a free drink voucher. You can walk between the hotel and the hot springs by crossing the footbridge over the national highway. If you are lucky with the season and weather, I don't think it will be a problem. However, this time, it rained, which was my biggest concern. I was worried about this because of the rain. The landing of the footbridge was flooded. My shoes got wet... You can also go by car. You will have to go under the national highway. Breakfast is a buffet and is available to non-guests as well. It seems that the price has increased recently, but it is 1,700 yen for guests. There were many ready-made dishes, so I thought it would have been fine to just stay overnight."
