I had stayed at Mitsui Greenland and this hotel on a school trip in the past, and this time I stayed without meals to take shelter from the rain while on a motorcycle tour. It is an official hotel of Mitsui Greenland and is located right next door, making it a very good environment for families and other amusement park visitors. Since it's located in the city, you can choose as many places to eat as you like, which was very convenient for me as I was staying overnight without meals. When I told the staff at the front desk that I came by motorcycle, they allowed me to park at the covered back entrance, which was very helpful.

I went to a BBQ in the courtyard. First, there was one small roaster for four people. There wasn't enough meat and it was empty very quickly. Some of the meat was delicious and some of it wasn't as delicious. In particular, the beef tongue had a strong smell and was difficult to swallow. The French toast afterwards was really bad. I thought, 5,000 yen is not worth it. I don't recommend it to everyone

If you're going to visit Greenland, this is a must. Since it is right next to Greenland, you can enter from the east gate instead of the front gate.

Used by 2 adults and 2 children (3 and 5 years old).I drove from outside the prefecture and bought an admission ticket (for infants) at the hotel reception, which included adults.The day of the trip went smoothly thanks to the phone call I received before the trip to confirm the flow of the day.There were some students on a school trip, so there was a time limit on how long the hot springs could be reserved for private use.I entered right after checking out, so there weren't that many customers, so I was able to soak in the bath slowly.Since I went on a weekday, the hotel was quiet and relaxing.I will use it again when I go to Greenland.

It's a normal hotel, for better or worse. It's close to those who use Greenland, and the rooms are large, so you can relax after playing. The negative points were that the shower head in the unit bath in the room seemed to be broken, so water came out in the direction of the next day and the water pressure was weak, making it difficult to use. I was a little worried about whether it was really being cleaned because the toilet paper was stuck to it and the teacup was covered in dust.

We ate at the restaurant in the hotel. It was buffet style. There were more customers than usual since it was a long holiday. Bread and fries were small, which was helpful since I wanted to eat a variety of things. There wasn't much meat, but pasta and other things. The side dishes were delicious.Also, I deducted points for the fact that the staff took a long time to remove the plates.They passed by my seat empty-handed, and the female staff chatted against the wall.I was a little concerned.

Maybe because there is a hot spring, the bath in the room is dark and old.

There were two grandchildren in a triple room with a cot, which was too small. However, I couldn't find my phone and asked the front desk to search for it.As expected, he found it and gave it to me. I do a good job of cleaning.The breakfast and dinner buffets were delicious with local ingredients.Desserts included many of my grandchildren's favorites, such as ice cream and chocolate cake, and they all came out seamlessly. Satisfied.The souvenir shop also offered discounts to guests.
