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)

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.

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.

　親戚を訪ねて家族4人で宿泊しました。ロビーでは、お土産の荷物を運ぶ台車を貸していただけたので、大変助かりました。 　温泉は地下だったので、本当は露天がありがたいですが、甘酒を飲んで休憩できたので、満足です。 　朝食が素晴らしいと聞いていましたが、子どもも私達も満足できるほどの品数でありがたかったです。今回は和室でしたが、洋室で宿泊してみたいです。

・車での旅行だったので、駐車場ありの物件(あと価格)で選んだのに、着いたら駐車場いっぱいで入れないって…向かいの市営？の駐車場と提携してるのかで、停めれはしたけど駐車料金に別途請求されるのを知らなかったので、それなら先に買い物等を済ませてから行けばよかったと後悔させられたのとで、印象は悪め。 ・食事も外で済ませての素泊まりだったので、施設のサービスは風呂と部屋以外はよく分かりません。 ・風呂と部屋に不満は特にナシ。 ・寝る頃に隣か上下階の部屋の客が動き回る音？振動？かで、多少五月蝿いなとは思いましたが、それはホテル側の落ち度とはちがうのでやむなしかなと我慢しました。 ・夜中の３時半に、テレビ台に内蔵された時計のタイマー？が鳴り出したので、ムリヤリ起こされたのは何かの嫌がらせかと疑いました。おかげでそこから２時間近く、なかなか寝れなかった。

朝食のバイキングで提供されている料理の種類が非常に豊富です。席が少なく混雑している時もあるので要注意です。 またラウンジでは、この地方の味や各種お酒も無料で楽しめます。開いている時間が短いですが、一度はのぞいてみると面白いと思います。
