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.

Clean room, friendly staff. Shops are very close, but set back enough from the main road to be quiet at night.
