ガーデンホテル金沢

金沢駅至近のホテルで、金沢の観光やビジネスの拠点の一つとしては最適なホテルの1つと言えます。桜や紅葉の季節を始め、金沢の街全体が大いに賑わう時期やイベント開催の時は（他のホテルも同様に）宿泊費が高くなりますが、それ以外は比較的リーズナブルな価格で宿泊できるのも魅力の1つです。
ホテルの外観からも（何回か改修工事がなされているもの）比較的年数を経たような、やや古めかしいホテルであると感じるかもしれません。ロビーや各客室も、綺麗に整えられているものの、ところどころで古さを感じ、清掃では取り切れない汚れも散見されます。そのあたりは宿泊時に特段不愉快に感じる要素にはならないと思いますが、防音についてはやや心許なさを覚えます。廊下や隣室の音はやや聞こえてしまう程度ですが、換気扇をはじめとする駆動音が（部屋にも依るかもしれませんが）耳障りに感じるかもしれません。加えてホテルの目の前は金沢市街の幹線道路であるため、車の往来も多く、特に夜はバイクの音がうるさく鳴り響くことがあります（流石に深夜にはそれらの喧騒は静まりますが）。
意外にもこのホテルは周辺のコンビニエンスストアからやや距離があります。天候が悪い日の食料の調達等は、億劫に感じるかもしれません。
スタッフの接客対応は、特段不愉快に感じるものではなく、一定の距離を保ちながらの接客だと感じました。

This hotel is located very close to Kanazawa Station, making it one of the most convenient bases for sightseeing or business in the city. During peak travel seasons - such as cherry blossom or autumn foliage periods - or during major events when the entire city becomes busy, room rates increase (as is common with other hotels as well). Outside those times, however, the hotel offers relatively reasonable prices, which is one of its appealing points.
From the exterior - which has undergone several renovations - you may feel that the building is somewhat old. Although the lobby and guestrooms are kept clean and orderly, signs of age are noticeable in various places, and some stains remain that regular cleaning can no longer remove. While these aspects are unlikely to significantly detract from your stay, the soundproofing may feel somewhat insufficient. Sounds from the hallway and neighboring rooms can be heard to a degree, and mechanical noises such as the ventilation fan may be bothersome depending on the room. Additionally, the hotel faces one of Kanazawa's main roads, where traffic is heavy; motorcycle noise in particular can be loud at night (though it usually becomes quiet by late night).
Surprisingly, convenience stores are not located very close to the hotel. On days with bad weather, going out to buy food or other necessities may feel inconvenient.
The staff's service is polite and satisfactory, maintaining an appropriate professional distance without being unfriendly.
