This place is a perfect place to stay in the area. Right next to the train station, the staff is extremely nice, the hotel is nice and has everything you need. There is even an Onsen downstairs. Daiso is 5 minutes away. My daughter cut her hair about 2 minutes away. Coco Restaurant is 5 minutes away. ( We had 3 meals here. LOL)

8/10 Very good

The hotel is within a short walk if the train station, and easy to find. The staff were friendly and helpful with some speaking English. Given the overall appearance of the hotel, I was surprised that my room seemed older than the rest of the facilities I saw, but it was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was more expensive than I wanted to venture, so I don't have any experience with its quality.

Best breakfast in Japan

My son said it was the best hotel breakfast he has had in Japan. He even got up early for it. Of course they had him at hamburgers, but there was also eggs Benedict and Japanese specialties like dumplings with shrimp and wheat noodles. And some unusual items like caprese salad. The Western beds were the right height and very comfortable. The room was spotless. Parking is under the hotel and easy to find.

8/10 Very good

Bathroom too small.

The main room was good. Great views and plenty of space to relax. The letdown was the bathroom. It was tiny with very dated fittings and nowhere to put toiletries. It was also at a higher level meaning a really big step down into the main room which was potentially a safety risk.

朝食ブッフェは種類が多いとまで言えないけど、内容は地域の料理を取り揃えており充実していました。洋室の部屋でしたが、清潔で空気清浄機やズボンプレッサーも用意してあり、使い勝手が良かった。Wi-Fiの接続方法が一般に分りくかった。浴場の利用時間が短い。連泊であったが、せめて朝は５時半開始、午後は２時半開始の１２時までにしてほしかった。部屋着が浴衣ではないのは 季節的なものかな？厚ぼったいし、連泊の場合はバスタオル等と一緒に用意してほしかった。フロント渡しでは時間がかかる場合があった。自販機が少ない、せめて大浴場の有る階には設置してほしかった。
