バスタオル、歯ブラシのアメニティがありお風呂も3つあったので待つことなく利用ができた。洗濯機、乾燥機もあって夏の旅行にはかなり役立つと思います。素泊まりで利用しましたが持ち込みで食事も出来そうだったので次回も利用したいと思います。

築80年程との事でしたが 全体的にとても清潔で快適でした。 簡単な調理ができるように一通り揃ったキッチンもありダイニングテーブルもあったのでそこで食事もできると思います。 売店などはもちろんありませんが車で5分にコンビニがありました。 (宿には自販機がありました) 無料駐車場あり。 駅から徒歩1分程。

周囲に食事出来る施設がほとんどないのに、食事の提供がない。自転車で琵琶湖一周していたが、朝食が出ないのでおにぎりを買うために自転車往復6.6km走らざるをえなかった。また自転車で近くの気軽に夕食が食べれる所は１軒しかない。更に普通の宿ならあると思っていたタオルや浴衣の提供がないのも驚いた。
