We stayed at Dormy Inn Kanazawa Hotel. It was $250 for 2 adults for two nights. It includes buffet breakfast, public onsen baths, free washer, dryer (need coin), & free snack and alcohol. There's even a manga reading room for you to relax after taking a bath.
The food was overall better than expected so that makes me want to go back! I especially love their freshly cooked local specialty omurice during breakfast. I really enjoy having free ice cream and snacks after taking a bath late at night too, that was my favorite part of staying there. We even got free soba as night time snack.
Their baths and sauna was good enough but not too memorable for me since I have been to traditional ryokan with better onsen so I can't remember much about the baths, but I still enjoyed it. It's hard to find real onsen inside city area anyway so this was better than nothing. I really appreciate that Dormy Inn offered onsens! The onsen was clean and definitely helped rejuvenated my energy from the long travel.
The room was roomy enough for luggages to be layed out unlike the small room at APA Hotel at Tokyo. The double bed was comfy enough and fits two adult, pillow was OK, the room and bathroom did smelled a bit but not as bad as when I was staying at Okuninu Onsen Kaniyu so it was tolerable. I find it funny yet innovative they placed an emergency water jug next to the toilet in bathroom. There's even emergency supplies and potty corner inside the elevator in case you get stuck!
This was definitely a great hotel chain to stay at in Japan. I'm so glad I was able to find this kind of hotel with onsen! Not many offers that! Everything was clean and overall stay was very comfortable. I definitely would stay at another Dormy Inn again for when I'm in the city!
