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 The only point (which is not critical) is the ensuite bathroom that was kind of outdated.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。

フロントにある佐勘の歴史を伝承する展示を拝見しとても感動しました。お湯は身体に優しく疲れもすっかりとれました。予約の確認不足で夕食は近くのお寿司屋さんに行きましたがとてもおいしかったです。朝食はお米がとてもおいしかったです。また是非行きたいと思いました！
