Bathroom too small.

The main room was good. Great views and plenty of space to relax. The letdown was the bathroom. It was tiny with very dated fittings and nowhere to put toiletries. It was also at a higher level meaning a really big step down into the main room which was potentially a safety risk.

This place is a perfect place to stay in the area. Right next to the train station, the staff is extremely nice, the hotel is nice and has everything you need. There is even an Onsen downstairs. Daiso is 5 minutes away. My daughter cut her hair about 2 minutes away. Coco Restaurant is 5 minutes away. ( We had 3 meals here. LOL)

The hotel is within a short walk if the train station, and easy to find. The staff were friendly and helpful with some speaking English. Given the overall appearance of the hotel, I was surprised that my room seemed older than the rest of the facilities I saw, but it was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was more expensive than I wanted to venture, so I don't have any experience with its quality.

Best breakfast in Japan

My son said it was the best hotel breakfast he has had in Japan. He even got up early for it. Of course they had him at hamburgers, but there was also eggs Benedict and Japanese specialties like dumplings with shrimp and wheat noodles. And some unusual items like caprese salad. The Western beds were the right height and very comfortable. The room was spotless. Parking is under the hotel and easy to find.

・車での旅行だったので、駐車場ありの物件(あと価格)で選んだのに、着いたら駐車場いっぱいで入れないって…向かいの市営？の駐車場と提携してるのかで、停めれはしたけど駐車料金に別途請求されるのを知らなかったので、それなら先に買い物等を済ませてから行けばよかったと後悔させられたのとで、印象は悪め。 ・食事も外で済ませての素泊まりだったので、施設のサービスは風呂と部屋以外はよく分かりません。 ・風呂と部屋に不満は特にナシ。 ・寝る頃に隣か上下階の部屋の客が動き回る音？振動？かで、多少五月蝿いなとは思いましたが、それはホテル側の落ち度とはちがうのでやむなしかなと我慢しました。 ・夜中の３時半に、テレビ台に内蔵された時計のタイマー？が鳴り出したので、ムリヤリ起こされたのは何かの嫌がらせかと疑いました。おかげでそこから２時間近く、なかなか寝れなかった。

高めの宿泊代を支払っているのに、ほとんどがセルフサービスで（食事はバイキングで片付けも自分でやる）フロントの対応も不快、こちらが聞いた事に対し親身に対応してくれず他人事な態度にがっかりしてしまいました。色々なホテルに宿泊させて頂きましたがこんな最悪なホテルは初めてです。 宿泊代が安くてのこの対応ならしょうがないと思いましたがぼったくりにあった気分でした。二度と泊まりたくないし人にも絶対お勧めしません。
