Reviews and Ratings
We had a pleasant stay at this hotel due to the reasonable pricing and the lovely outdoor onsen. The coffee shop offered a stunning view, particularly during sunset, which was fantastic. However, the room cleanliness left something to be desired, and the dining options could use improvement.
Our stay had its ups and downs. The traditional Japanese room was spacious and the onsen provided a relaxing experience. However, the noise from tour groups and the faint smell around the property were quite bothersome. The breakfast was outstanding, but getting to town was inconvenient without a car.
Overall, the hotel offers a reasonable price for a stay with unique features like an outdoor onsen and a lovely coffee shop view. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms stood out to me, but the bathroom sizes left something to be desired. Dining was just okay, and the loud tour groups made for a less peaceful experience than expected. Additionally, the remote location made it tricky to explore outside the hotel without transportation.
My stay here was a mixed bag. The outdoor onsen was a highlight, offering beautiful views and a relaxing experience, especially during sunset. While the traditional Japanese meals were lovely, the breakfast didn't quite meet my expectations. However, the remote location presented challenges with dining options and shuttle schedules, which made things a bit inconvenient.
This hotel offers a mix of both positives and negatives. The rooms are clean and spacious, and I really enjoyed the breakfast with its wide variety. However, the smoking odor in the hallways and occasional noise from tour groups were quite bothersome. Additionally, the location is somewhat remote, making dining options limited, which could be a challenge if you're reliant on the shuttle service.
