Perfect for people who like cheap and retro items! . When I was a kid, we were poor, so I feel nostalgic for it.

I think you can use interns from Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, so that they can help you improve the quality of cleanliness of your hotel, I think that is the solution. Don't close it because you are useful.

I was thinking of using one room for two people.There was no reception desk, and keys to all rooms were left in the room.It's like a haunted house.After exploring the inn, I decided not to stay and canceled.When I checked the room, the key didn't turn and I couldn't lock it.The men's restroom on the second floor had no electricity, and the women's restroom on the first floor also had no electricity.It seemed that only showers could be used in the large public bath,I think it would be too scary for normal people to use it at night.

Even when I tried to check in, the staff never came out.Just when I thought they had finally come out, a Chinese man wearing a T-shirt and shorts came out and dealt with the two groups that came after me. (I don't think it would be a good idea for the two groups that came after me to push me away and go to the staff...)The charcoal I bought at the front desk was so damp that I couldn't light it using the Chukkaman.Force a fire with a cassette stove!The shower room is full of mold...The floor is squeaking and I don't know when it will come out...The air conditioner is broken and only blows wind...It is the ultimate in no maintenance.A private room costs 2,500 yen, which is probably cheap if you just sleep there.Also, it was used by a group of student clubs, so it might be suitable for that type of group.It happened that the hotel in Hirosaki city was empty during the Nebuta Festival, so I used it, but... I don't think I'll visit again.

I try not to give one star unless there is a serious issue, but I will give it one star.This rating is based on having stayed at over 300 nights in hotels and over 150 different types of hotels.There are too many hygiene issues.I know the prices are low and the location is good.I fully understand that the person who helped me on the day was not a bad person. However, the area under the bunk bed in the room probably hasn't been cleaned for months. It was full of dust, dolls and souvenirs that I don't know who left behind, and a yellowed ball of tissue on the chair in the room.Breakfast was said to be free, but there were two bags of 8 slices of bread several days past the expiration date in the fridge, and a huge jar of jam. The grate of the toaster is burnt and there are holes in it. Naturally, the customer base was the worst, and there were two things that I can't write about here.There are reviews saying that there are other expensive and dirty accommodations, but if you don't give this one a 1, there is nothing else you can give. I don't mind if the walls are thin or a little dirty, but this is the worst ever.Whether you are aware of this or not, this evaluation takes into account the employee's kind attitude and service on the day.

You can stay overnight at an unbeatable price even in the surrounding area.It doesn't feel clean, but it has flavor.They also have barbecue sets and mopeds available for rent, so I thought it would be fun to stay there for a few days and experience life there.

Unfortunately, the rooms were moldy and the sanitary facilities were very dirty.I think sleeping there is bad for your health.But the lake is super beautiful!
