The price is cheap and the location right on the beach is great.It's a bit far from the downtown area so it's quiet, but I think you'll definitely need a car to go anywhere.There are a lot of ants and some cockroaches.In general, this is an old accommodation.

Even though we were told three days ago that there was no bathtub, we couldn't find a place to stay for 9 people, so we decided to stay overnight. There was no bathtub, and there were supposed to be two showers, but the shower and bathtub had been removed. Even though there were 9 people, there was only one shower, which was extremely inconvenient. I feel like I've been cheated somehowThe doors in the toilet and shower room are poorly constructed and do not close properly.The outlet is also loose, and if you plug in a slightly heavy charger outlet, it will come off on its own.The living room is very large and the air conditioner isn't suitable for it, so it doesn't cool me down much even in this heat.There is no closet or chest of drawers, so you have to take out your clothes from your suitcase every time, which is inconvenient.The balcony was the deciding factor in my decision to stay here, but the legs of the counter, chairs, etc. were rotten.I think it's because it's the peak season, but I'm paying a moderate price, but I wish they would at least fix the problems before renting it out.And everything is stressful. Traveling is stressful...First of all, it's unmanned and doesn't suit the staff.There are some people who write in reviews that the staff is good, but I wonder if they know who they are and what they don't need.The only good thing was the location.

The location is great, just a short walk away is the beach, where you can play in the water. It's a great place for a vacation.Check in and check out of the room are self-service using tablet input, which is very suitable for tourists who don't like to interact with other people.The room is generally very clean and has many facilities that are used in daily life such as microwave, water dispenser, vacuum cleaner, etc. Unfortunately, there is no washing machine or dehydrator.However, the window in the bathroom has good lighting, so you can dry the clothes in the sunlight. In summer, it will take about a day! (I went in mid-July) You can also see the stars while taking a bath.The disadvantage is that the sofa feels dusty and lint-free and has not been cleaned very well. The same goes for the bed in the master bedroom, which may still smell a bit musty.But the tatami is great! Very comfortable to lie down on.

Loving it! We took the Japanese style room which is more like a mini apartment, with a kitchen, huge refrigerator, and a washer cum dryer. Very good facilities. The beds were comfortable too. It's a great find!

Stayed with my dog.The beach is right in front of you, so it's great for a walk.Many amenities for pets are also available.I was shocked to find a small cockroach in my room because the guest room was on the first floor and there was a restaurant next to it. Other than that it was good

Stayed at this hotel in mid-November this yearI didn’t expect that there would be an additional charge of 1,000 yen for parking. I have never encountered this in other hotels~We stayed in a sea view room, as shown below. We had to walk from the lobby to the upstairs of the restaurant across an alley. The only overall access control was the code lock on the room door. I didn’t think it was very safe.When checking in, you have to fill in everyone's information from the machine and take your own passport photo. The photo displayed by the machine is very blurry. I don't know the purpose of taking a passport photo of this quality.As soon as I entered the door, I saw a bag of garbage on the sink. Apparently the cleaning staff had not taken it away. I was dumbfounded.Next time, there are six people staying, but only two double beds are prepared. I have a question mark on my face.Later, the staff came to the tatami to replace two mattresses... This should have been prepared in advance.The stopper in the bathtub was broken and water kept leaking from the cracks. I couldn't take a good bath. It's strange that Japanese people don't like bathing very much. How could they leave this problem to their guests? I can't figure it out. They came in to fix it but couldn't fix it anyway.Next, there is a bar next to it. The music is always playing at a low level at night and can be heard in the room. I remember that I could still hear the music until 11 o'clock and felt that I couldn't sleep peacefully.The overall accommodation experience is not good. I will never stay like this again 👋
