Liked: Staff & service
Fully booked and great value for the price charged. Not a 5 star hotel but for the price it is extremely great. Free breakfast and dinner has tiny portions but great flavours. Introduced me to my new favourite condiments. I am a healthy eater so salad and vegetables were all you can eat and pleantiful. The only thing I did not like was all vegetables were cold but I simply soaked them in hot water I. The bowl and drained it a few times. Seating is tight but works. If you are picky you will complain about something but the same can be said no matter where you stay. Our bathroom was a bit uriny smelling but the Japanese toilet seat was great. Rooms in Japan are tight and small and this is no exception. These Japanese rooms make cruise ship rooms feel big. Anyway I would recommend this place and would stay again

The photos of The breakfast aren't accurate, The breakfast is fine, but didn't see a single egg or a piece of fruit there in whole week. The diningroom walls were really dirty and in our room there was hairs that didn't belong to us. Staff were helpful and nice, though they didn't speak english, but still tried to help as best they could. Onsen was alright
