As for my dissatisfaction, isn't the size of the toilet bowl changing from generation to generation? It's so small that it's very uncomfortable to touch parts of your body when you sit on it. For breakfast, the shark fin soup was typical of Kesennuma, but it was so large that you could barely see the bottom, and the special cup was as small as a demitasse coffee cup. I think they are thinking about the number of people having breakfast, but if they come to Kesennuma, I want them to be a little more particular about the menu and have a sense of hospitality so that they can fully enjoy the food. There were several mosquitoes in my room, even though I didn't open any windows, and I was worried about them even while I was sleeping. Maybe someone opened the window while cleaning, or someone came in from the hallway, but I wonder if there's something I can do about it. Bed mattress is soft. There are several pillows and shampoos to choose from, but I didn't need them. The TV is pretty big, but if you're going to spend that much money, I'd like you to update the other parts.I'm satisfied with the staff service and room cleaning, but compared to other hotels, I honestly don't think I'd stay here much longer.

I stayed on the single onigiri plan.It was a relatively new and compact hotel.Convenient parking right in frontThe bed was comfortable and I could choose the pillows, which was great.The noise in the bathtub is not good enough.The mini ramen at night was also good.I would like a range on each floor if possible.Overall I gave it a 4

When I come to Kesennuma, I will definitely come back again.Even though it was rebuilt after the earthquake, 10 years have passed.Clean and tidy, friendly staff, service, location, value for money... everything...This is what it means to be able to reach the areas that make you itch...When I travel, I always feel exhausted because I can't sleep because my pillow doesn't fit, but I was able to choose a pillow that suited me and I was able to sleep soundly.Breakfast was also delicious.It would have been better to stay overnight...Personally, I would give it more than 5 stars.Please let me use you again. thank you very much.

The hotel is located in downtown Kesennuma, but one street away from Odori, so it is quiet.Parking availableThere is a coin laundry outsideThe room is also cleanAnd the facilities are perfect.However, the negative point is that they don't indicate that code payments are possible, so you won't know unless you ask.
