I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel is quite functional, but it felt a bit outdated compared to modern options, and the cleanliness wasn't up to my usual expectations for Japanese standards. On the plus side, the staff was welcoming and the location offered easy access to plenty of dining options nearby.

I found this hotel to be a pleasant getaway with spacious amenities and a relaxing onsen experience. The staff, especially Kato, made our stay enjoyable, going out of their way to assist us. However, another stay I had in a different hotel was disappointing due to outdated rooms and no Wi-Fi. Overall, while the amenities and location were appealing, cleanliness and modern decor left something to be desired in the second hotel.
