部屋からの眺めは素晴らしかったです。設備は50年以上経っているという事で、それなりに傷んでる感じはありましたが、綺麗に維持されてるなと思いました。大きいホテルなので、大浴場や食堂などへそれなりに距離があるところが難点でしたかね。でもとても良い場所だったので、改装後にまた行きたいと思います。

建物や設備は確かに古く、到着時は廃虚かと驚いたが、古い時代の正しいリゾートホテルといった感じで、往年はさぞかし豪華なホテルだったのだろうと思われる。客の使用エリアは綺麗に整備されていた。部屋もゆったりしており、古いが贅沢な感じの設えで、信じられないほど広い敷地内の芝は綺麗に刈ってあり、植木も手入れされていて花を綺麗に付けていた。大浴場は清潔で気持ちよく、朝食は広い会場で十分な品数が用意されており、ゆったり食事を摂ることができた。スタッフも親切で気持ちよく過ごすことができた。6月から休館とのこと（何年かかるのか、復活があるのかわからないが）で、もっと以前から利用すればよかったと残念に思う。 ただ、朝食ビュッフェは9:30が最終受付とのことだったので初日は9時に入ったが、9:30に撤去するのでそれまでに取るように言われ、食べている最中だったのでデザートを取りに行けなかった。9:30に食事の提供を終える事は予め知っておきたかった。

施設が広大なのに比して利用客が少なく運営の厳しさがサービス、施設、スタッフ対応等そこここに伺える。 廃墟探検のような楽しさはあったが、それを期待して泊る客はいないよね。

非常に古いホテルでした。潰れる寸前のイメージです。 室内の家具、備品、特にベッドが小さく寝ずらいベッドで寝具も古い。 全体的に昭和初期のイメージです。 スタッフも挨拶が少なく丁寧なおもてなしには感じませんでた。 リピーター率は少ないと思います。 もう泊まる事は有りませんが久々に最低なホテルでした。
