Fodor's Expert Review Hotel JAL City Aomori

This nine-story art deco–style hotel curves around a corner just up from the ASPAM building as if it belonged in a periodically snowbound Miami Beach. The lobby is open and bright and has an adjacent restaurant. A prime location makes shopping and exploring the city center easier, and because it's close to the harbor, you can easily walk along the waterfront in the morning. The rooms are spacious, some have sea views and some accommodate wheelchairs.
