Horror hotel. Checked-out 5mins after check-in.

Can only describe this hotel as a haunted mansion or house of horrors. Our kids called it Luigi’s mansion lol. The smell of dust and mold was so bad that we had to check-out five minutes after check-in!! Everything about the place was horrific, the lobby was dark and dingy, the lights in the narrow hallways were out, the floors on the building were uneven, and the smell was just awful. The whole building is a health hazard and I cannot recommend anyone go near. I don’t know how the staff are able to work there. We checked out five mins after checking in and it felt like we escaping a horror house before the zombies came out! Didn’t even stay to negotiate a refund and could not drive away fast enough.

施設が古いのは仕方ないが、掃除が行き届いていない。 また、節電の為か部屋の蛍光灯が１つ外されていて、暗かった。 スタッフは皆さん感じがよく、しっかりとされている印象。 たが、レストランでは人数不足からか、あちこちからクレームを受けているのを見て、せっかくのご飯が楽しめなかった。スタッフの方々の責任ではなく、配置人数と客質の問題か。 料理はとてと美味しかっただけに残念。 コロナ禍から立ち直っていく過程かと思うが、人数の補充、施設メンテナンスの質の向上を頑張ってほしい。 重ねて言うが、ロケーションは最高、料理も最高、スタッフもよく頑張っている。 たまたまかと思うが、客質は相当に悪い。 次があれば、屋外バーベキューを利用したいが。。

Hotel with a view!

The check-in and check-out processes were quick and easy. The hotel looks new from the outside but carpets, walls, furniture, and rooms are dated. My big room had a great view of the hills, water, and bridge. The hotel is in the small village. The breakfast and dinner included in our room rate were good and tasty. We walked on the beach after the dinner and breakfast.

口コミなどから建物自体は少し古いのかなと思っていましたが、うまく工夫して改装されていて清潔だったのでほとんど気になりませんでした。 景色と日当たりのいいお部屋がとても良かったです。 乳児連れでしたが、ロビーにキッズスペースがあったり、食事会場でもバンボチェアを貸していただけたりと助かりました。 食事も品数が多く、質・量ともに大満足の内容でした。 お魚も新鮮で美味しかったです。 スタッフの方も感じが良く、普段あまり感想を言わない夫がとても良いホテルだったと何度も言っていました。 要望を言うなら混浴の露天風呂が朝も営業していたらなお良かったです。 総合的にコストパフォーマンスが素晴らしく、とても満足な滞在でした。 また泊まりに行きたいです。

Leaves a lot to be desired.

The good: Kaiseki dinners were very good and the barbecue was respectable. Staff are very friendly. The community bath is decent. The bad: Air conditioning in the guest rooms is quite poor, and in fact inadequate throughout hotel. Landscaping was poor on the beach side of the hotel. They should put more effort into removing weeds and maintaining the lawn. The water slide connected to the outdoor pool is too old and no longer slippery, so it serves little purpose for children. Overall, the physical condition of the facilities cannot be rated favorably. Staff in the restaurant tend to be forgetful, so you may need to repeatedly request the same thing.
