(Review) Toyoko Inn Sendai Higashi-guchi No.1 - Miyagi, Japan

Sendai has many hotels or accommodations near train station and shopping centre. Normally, the rooms rate on weekends is higher than the weekdays. Therefore, I chose Toyoko Inn Hotel Sendai Higashi-guchi No.1 because of the location and price. Please make sure that you book the right one. There are 2 buildings; No.1 and No.2. They are in the same area. Some of you may heard about Toyoko Inn Hotels which are the business hotel and have many branches in Japan with reasonable price. Toyoko Inn always include the breakfast but differ by each branch. 

Access
