The seamless pick up at the station and the lovely kamakuras in the hotel were great. Meal service was great. Staff onsite were wonderful and the snow views made everything magical. The town was v quiet so buy whatever you need before you arrive. Also make sure to alert the staff 5 days in advance if u have dietary needs, the reservation/meals team would not accommodate last minute dietary restrictions even if you have legit reasons which tbh was the only disappointment in our almost perfect stay!

乾淨整潔

整體內部乾淨，但沒有太多特色。免費飲品跟冰提供，服務跟餐點也不錯，房間內部偏老舊，浴場不大，內裝普通⋯

名氣雖大，但質素一般！

設施有點舊，房間設計不很貼心。餐廳位於一樓，但沒有電梯或無障外通道，對長者或行動不便人仕就有點困難。
