Tokyu Stay Kanazawa
The hotel was excellent! Great location and helpful staff. It was a plus to have a washer/dryer in our rooms. Breakfast could have been a little fresher. It was nice to have a coffee machine in the lobby all hours.

Hotel INTERGATE KANAZAWA
Spacious room, clean, lovely view. Hotel could do with adding in more laundry machines, however. Lots of competition over those 2 machines.
