There was not much to like about this hotel. Pillows were like sacks of hard beans, the outdoor onsen was dirty and the food was clearly the worst I have experienced in eight trips to Japan. We were misled from the time we arrived, as we were told there were no restaurants in town. We later saw that was not the case. It was all a ruse to get you to buy dinner at their substandard restaurant. The whole building looked run down and smelt stale. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

使用済みシーツが普通に畳まれてセッティングされていて、他のシーツ類もそうではないかと疑心暗鬼になりました。怪しいのもありました。 フロントスタッフはいないし、フロント周りも汚いし、浴衣コーナーもぐちゃぐちゃだし、人が足りなくて回っていないですね。泉質は良かったですが、お客さんのマナーも悪いせいか、洗面台に髪の毛はたくさんあるし、使用済みタオルは散乱しているし、酷いかったです。

Nice Onsens

The gentleman at the front desk from Guatemala was very helpful. I loved the onsens here … especially the mixed outdoor one at night. It had a nice vibe. It was walkable to 7/11 and other places in town. Parking was tricky in the evening, but managed to figure it out. The room was fine but a bit dated.

The Japanese style room was so neat. The problem was the hotel is very old, the walls are stained and dirty. There was hair all over the tatami mats, not ours.The fridge had food in it from a past guest. It is an old facility that needs major renovation and more staff to clean it.
