There was also a large public bath. It happened very slowly.Free tea, coffee, body towels, etc. were provided which was very helpful.I felt that both the guest room and the bathroom (unit bath) were spacious.Breakfast included Chinese food and was very delicious. However, I felt like there weren't that many items. The taste was very good.Thank you for visiting us again.This is my second time using it.This time it was disappointing.①When I used the shower in my room in the morning, the water pressure was very weak. There was so little pressure that I was worried that there would be no hot water. There may have been a lot of people using it at the same time, but the pressure returned after about 10 minutes.② Regarding the breakfast...I called around 9 o'clock and...it seems like they don't replenish it, or there are tags with product names, but they never replenish it, or there's only the last one left... It was difficult to eat, or rather, difficult to pick up. I was looking forward to Chinese food, but shrimp mayo, mapo tofu, and gyoza were missing for a long time.The location was close to the station, and the front desk staff was kind, but it was a little disappointing.

Business stayBreakfast was not what I expected, but it was very delicious. I ended up eating more food than usual because the staff recommended it...There were a lot of items, so I chose one bite at a time.Be careful not to eat too much...lolThe breakfast is the best at any hotel I've ever stayed at.The jets in the public bath were also nice.

First of all, I was surprised that there were so many types of amenities to choose from at the front desk! I had a cafe latte, and I was also given shoe shine.Next, I was surprised at how large the hot springs were!The most surprising thing was the breakfast!Not only was there an incredible variety of items, but the shrimp mayo, shumai, mapo tofu, and spring rolls were especially delicious.The above three points are similar to those found in resort hotels. I want to come again.

I've stayed several times, and I'm very satisfied because the food is different every time, so I never get tired of it. Most of the food is handmade and there is a large selection. …

Right next to Iwakuni StationThe hotel is a bit old and the rooms are small.However, there is a spa, and men's carbonated springs and women's saunas are on even-numbered days, so they alternate between even-numbered days and odd-numbered days.Breakfast is early at 6:15am.It's a buffet, so it's good to have a large selection of items.The breakfast venue is on the 9th floor, so the view is spectacular.It was a cheap and enjoyable hotel.

The front staff was very kind and helpful.The large public bath is an artificial hot spring.reasonably goodGender rotation system on a daily basisThe breakfast venue is on the top floorThe view is goodYou can choose as much as you want from Japanese, Western, and Chinese.Although it is a slogan, it seems that Chinese food is the main food.Unfortunately, the food is coldIf you stay for consecutive nights, the menu may change.I get bored because there is almost no change in fried food.Also, the staff in the kitchenyelling or loudlytalking in ChineseI heard you sayIt was very unpleasantThe staff at the hall were nice.
