Perfect stay. Great food, relaxing atmosphere and amenities. The only point (which is not critical) is the ensuite bathroom that was kind of outdated.

赤ちゃんとの宿泊のため事前に施設で準備できることを丁寧に教えてもらい安心して伺うことができました。食事はほかのお客さまと区切られてゆったり落ち着いていただくことができました。早朝の大浴場はほぼ貸切状態で、広々としてモダンな雰囲気に癒されました、大好きなリファ（シャワーヘッドとドライヤー）にテンションが上がりました。ひとつ残念だったのは貸切風呂が思ったより寛げなかったことです。とは言え全体としては大満足で家族の記念にまた訪れたいと思いました。

素晴らしい宿でした。　特に温泉は広くて、綺麗で最高でした。　平日に行ったので、宿泊客も比較的少ないのか、あの広い温泉を独り占めさせて頂きました。 一つだけ残念なことは禁煙室がとれず、部屋に若干煙草のニオイが残っていたことです。 それ以外は、食事も、部屋の大きさも、景色も、申し分ありません。

お風呂は川沿いのは素敵でしたが脱衣場に椅子があると良かった。階段の途中でも。 食事は部屋食で、種類も豊富でした。 宿までは送迎用バスを利用しましたが、チェックイン前に到着しましたが美味しいレストランがあり、ランチが出来て、早めに部屋を用意してくれて嬉しかった。 スタッフの皆さんなの丁寧さが素晴らしい。

老舗とモダンの融合

歴史ある宿とのことで、事前のイメージは期待薄でしたが、良い意味で期待を裏切られました。 内装のキレイさ、清潔感、食事等ほぼ全ての項目で満点がつけられる内容。 歴史を感じながらも、随所に近代的な設備があり、不便なく快適でした。
