HOTEL AMANEK Kanazawa
Really nice spacious and clean hotel room. Soundproofing is needed on the windows, and blinds or curtains to block out the sunlight coming in. Good selection of breakfast buffet options.

APA Hotel Kanazawa Chuo
The breakfast was amazing and the kitchen staff went the extra step and made ochasuke (tea and rice soup that this Japanese American guest loved and reminded her of the food her grandmother made) The kitchen staff was the best! Ichiban!!! :)
