The hotel is extremely convenient being connected to Sendai JR station. Like other major stations in Japan there is a plethora (thanks 3 amigos) of shopping areas. This includes S-PAL, Yodobashi Camera, and PARCO. That's not even including the shopping streets such as Clis road which are just a short walk away. Everything you expect to eat is around including specialties such as Gyutan and zunda. Ramen, tonkatsu, gyudon, udon, pasta, pizza, steak, hamburgers, bento, and anything else you could ever ask for is within walking distance.
Despite being located amongst all the action, the hotel room is incredibly peaceful. Barely any of the station and street noise makes it into the room and there's a beautiful full length window that looks out over the east side of the station (we may have just been lucky in getting an east viewing room). From there you can watch passively as taxis line up in a synchronized performance all with practiced precision and uniformity. We even got front row seats to a live performance 2 singers were having right outside the station a few nights in a row (this was the only time you could really hear something).
Yamato transport is conveniently within the train station so you can send your luggage in advance to your next destination. That way you can jump onto the shinkansen worry free. Just be aware that anything going to Narita/Haneda airport needs to be dropped off 2 days prior to your flight!
10/10 would recommend! Love this hotel!
