I stayed here to go to USJ.The room above the room we had originally planned to stay in was vacant, so we moved to the top floor for the same price and were able to enjoy a beautiful view.The bathhouse was also very spacious and the hot water was good enough to soak my tired feet.Personally, I was very happy that both the hair dryer and curling iron were ReFa.

All the staff were very nice, and even though it was the busy season, they were smiling and spoke kindly, making our stay very pleasant.I received a handwritten message card for my child's birthday, and it was heartfelt and I was able to receive very wonderful service.The location was great, the public bath on the upper floor and breakfast had a great view, and I was able to enjoy an extraordinary experience.I would definitely like to use it again!

There was also a convenience store near the park, which was very helpful.This time I visited by car. This is a parking lot exclusively for the hotel.If you check in around 2:30 pm, it will cost 3,500 yen until 2:30 pm the next day.From there, parking fees are charged in 200 yen increments, but there is a ceiling of 3,500 yen.Even if you check in at 3pm, I think it would be a good idea to park your car in the morning and walk around Universal Walk.

It's convenient to go to Uni.It was a plan to stay without meals.The rooms are clean and the bath and toilet are separated, which is nice.The shower head and hair iron were made by RiFa ◎Unfortunately, there are not many electrical outlets around the table.

I stayed here while going to USJ. You can walk to USJ in a short distance, and the location is perfect. There is also a natural hot spring and a sauna, which are available for an additional fee, and as someone who loves hot springs, I was very satisfied. I would like to stay again.

I wonder if there is dust or rice grains on the carpet and they are cleaning it? I became worried.In addition, there were leftovers from previous guests in the fridge, which was disgusting.The location and customer service were very good, so that was my only regret.

I came to USJ in Osaka for the first time from Hokkaido. I decided to go here because it was within walking distance, had good reviews, and was reasonably priced. It was close enough to be seen from USJ, and the room was spacious.The water pressure in the toilet was weak, probably because I stayed on the 25th floor.I was disappointed, but the staff were friendly and I was able to leave my luggage in a locker for free even after checking out, which was great. I would like to stay again.

First visit since before the renovation about 15 years agoI thoroughly enjoyed sightseeing both inside and outside the hotel.Unfortunately, I arrived at USJ at closing time and had to wait over 20 minutes to check in on Friday night.
