Hotel Monte Hermana Sendai
Good location next to the station. Smooth check-in and staff were polite. The hotel has a bath that was nice. Wifi was ok but likely throttled, since it was slow at times. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Sendai-nishiguchi PREMIER
Clean, functional, spacious (by Japanese standards) like other Daiwa Roynet Premier hotels. This one is super close to the subway entrance, and only a few mins from Sendai Station.
