It was nice to be able to eat on the terrace with my dog both at night and in the morning. Seasonally, it's neither hot nor cold outside. The room was a little smelly. Does it smell like half-dried?You can go directly to the dog run from your room's terrace, and the dining venue also goes outside from your room's terrace. The only passageway in the hotel that your dog can walk through is the one leading to the room. I think they are very considerate of customers with animal allergies.

I have already written about the atmosphere of the room and the food, so I will write a review from the perspective of raising a child.[Visited on October 13, 2024, 2 adults and 1 5-year-old child]Meals are buffet-style, and baby food for 5, 7, and 9 month olds is also available. (Baby food is bottle type)For children who have finished weaning on baby food, we also have side dishes for children such as sausages and scrambled eggs.In the changing room of the bathhouse, the women's bath was a large bath on this day, but there were two baby cots and a trash can for diapers.In the bathhouse, there is a baby chair with a backrest for babies, and a small bath chair for infants.In addition to the adult shampoos provided, shampoos such as Asience were also placed at the entrance. There are also foaming shampoos for children.Our family stayed in a twin room.There was a sofa that was a little smaller than a single, so two adults slept on the bed and sofa, and the child slept on the bed. I think even preschoolers can sleep perfectly without co-sleeping!Yukata and slippers for children are provided in the room. The slippers are a little big for preschoolers, and the slippers are small.There is a large yukata for children on the floor where the public bath is located.Toothbrushes are the same as for adults, so if you're concerned about them, it's better to bring your own.It depends on the room, but the room we stayed in had a bathroom and toilet, and the floor was tiled.

It was my first time staying here with my dog.The view was nice near the sea, and it was a pleasant walk.I hope I don't have too high expectations for the food! lolI was happy to be able to enjoy breakfast with my dog while looking at the ocean.The dog run wasn't that big, but we had plenty of fun.I was worried because the key to the entrance was just a string.It was a bit disappointing that the building as a whole and the rooms were old, and that the cleaning was not done properly.Also, there are quite a few insects everywhere...lolIn the end, it was a fun trip, so I look forward to improvements in the future!

Be careful as there are many false reviews.The food is extremely bad. Just by looking at it, it doesn't seem fresh, watery, and tastes bad. No matter how you look at it, it's strange that it's being rated so highly. The guest room was a knockout with a musty smell and a rundown condition. If you've seen something scary, give it a try.

There was a barbecue smell inside the building, but the room was fine.However, the cleaning was not very good.The pool is almost completely reserved.

Even though it's October, the lingering heat is 30 degrees, abnormal weather? When I stayed there on a weekday, it was crowded with many elderly guests enjoying their stay.This is a popular hotel, with many repeat guests enjoying delicious seafood cooking, a hot spring bath, and a dog run where you can stay with your pet (dog). Being able to offer such a wide variety of dishes at very reasonable prices is probably an effort that makes many guests want to stay as a popular hotel.Nepali levan? He has 6 years of experience in the hospitality industry, and is very attentive in dealing with customers, quick and kind, and is wonderful.This time I stayed in a deluxe room with 3 beds, the room was spacious and comfortable, and I enjoyed the large TV, probably 50 inches in size.I also recorded the breakfast this time, so please refer to it when making hotel reservations here in the future.Thank you again for your help this week. Just like before the May holidays, many customers were enjoying delicious food and the sunset over the Pacific Ocean even on weekdays.Summer was just around the corner, and we were cleaning and filling the pool to prepare for the start of the swimming season.The weather was nice at this time of year, and we were able to eat grilled seafood BBQ on the terrace, so it was very comfortable and we didn't have to worry about smoke.The staff is very kind, the accommodation fee is reasonable, and there are plenty of facilities (Wanwan Square) that can be enjoyed by dog lovers who are repeat customers like Ichigo. I am planning to visit again.I stayed here for the 30th during the Golden Week holidays, and I stayed at a reasonable price. Perhaps because there are still many repeat customers, even though the restaurant is full, there are many seafood dishes prepared, and I am grateful to the chef for his hard work in making sure that even many customers were not undercooked.The staff were very attentive and kind, so I felt at ease. There was a safe in the room, even if you had a lot of money...? I'm not sure if it's okay.There have been comments that the building is old, but the rooms are clean and quiet, and I think there is no problem with the accommodation fee, so I stay at the Changhaku Hotel several times a year.Located in the best location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the hotel is proud of its seafood dishes such as Isoyaki (BBQ), scallops, oysters, turban shells, etc., while drinking locally brewed sake, and for dinner, we serve dishes with all kinds of food you can't finish and delicious seafood soup stock. You'll be amazed at what you see, and because you can stay at a very reasonable price, it's always crowded with many repeat customers. However, the time limit is 90 minutes, so it may not be enough for those who drink alcohol. Especially for elderly people, the JR bus service from the city center goes directly to this hotel, so it is very convenient and recommended for guests who do not have their own car.There is also a dog-friendly DogRun plaza and a separate hotel where you can stay with your pet. (Everyone comes by car)Also, I wanted to eat seafood, take a leisurely soak in the hot springs, and watch the ships passing by on the Pacific Ocean and the Nozaki Lighthouse, so I stayed here consecutively from last month.There are great benefits to staying here, as you can enjoy seafood dishes like this in the city center without having to worry about returning home while soaking in the hot springs.You can enjoy delicious food and enjoy a slow-life to the fullest.

The meal was sumptuous.The receptionist at the front desk spoke so fast that I couldn't understand everything. Deadly.What is a “resort”? It was a room that you could imagine.Well, it was worth the price. That's what it feels like.

This time I wasn't staying for the night but was using Dog Run, so I couldn't see the rooms, but from what I saw, the outdoor pool looked beautiful and several families were enjoying it!There are two Dog Runs, a small space and a slightly larger space, and the smaller one was mowing the lawn.I ran it in a wide area, but it looked like the lawn hadn't been mowed yet, so my little dog could see the grass, and in one spot, a large dog 💩 had been left alone in the grass, so I was glad I didn't step on it without noticing. !Well, it can't be helped since it costs ¥500 per dog per day, but how about leaving your dog alone?

Dogs allowed - The guest room was not deodorized and the smell of the dog from the previous day's guest remained, which was unpleasant.

Meal ★★★★★It was super awesome.All-you-can-eat oysters, scallops, and shrimp grilled on the stove, rice bowls that you can make your own using fresh seafood, and clam rice cooked on the spot over candlelight.I think the dishes are unbeatable at this price. The whole family was very satisfied.Room ★★★★⭐︎It was a family room, but it was spacious, very stylish, and clean.Unfortunately, the weather was so bad that the charm of the ocean view was halved.I would like to come again when the weather is sunny.Service ★★★★★I felt that the employees were very polite and kind.Although there were many non-Japanese people, I felt they were very considerate and I had a good impression of them.Bath ★⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎I felt this was the only regret.The men's bath was a square bathtub measuring 2 to 3 meters square, and there were seven showers, two of which were out of order. Also, while the other facilities didn't feel old, the bathroom was undeniably old and seemed to lack maintenance.The weather was bad and the view wasn't great, so when I checked in and entered the room, I lost all of my expectations.I heard that the women's bath was better than the men's bath, so I was hoping for a change of rooms in the morning, but that wasn't the case...I would like to at least ask for maintenance and changing times in the morning and evening.Overall review ★★★★⭐︎I was very satisfied with everything except the bath.The food in particular is excellent, and I think it's worth staying for this alone.Thanks to all of you, we had a wonderful family trip.We would love to use you again.Next time I would like to see the ocean view on a clear day...

The view was great, the pool, dog run, hot springs, massages were great, the buffet was delicious, the cleaning was good even though it was old, the service was good, and the staff were very nice.But the facilities...I can't believe it's from the major MyStays group, which is a shame.The bathroom sink, furniture, floors, doors, mirrors, etc. are in worse condition than in a private home. I couldn't relax in the room because I was worried about various things in the room.I'm sure it will become a very popular hotel once it has been renovated with the latest facilities.He has a lot of potential, so I want him to do his best.Looking forward to the future!

There are only a limited number of accommodations where you can stay with your dog, but the dog floor at Shirahama Ocean Resort has a variety of dogs staying there every day, so you can be sure of the cleanliness, etc.Honestly, I wasn't expecting muchI was happy with how clean and attentive it was.Enjoy delicious food and view the oceanI had a comfortable time. I would definitely like to repeat it.

The grill is large and easy to grill. The food is luxuriousHowever, the bath is small. If it's better than other public baths, 5 stars is not impossible.If it's a resort hotel, it must have an open-air bath.

Bad place① BathtubThe sliding door of the bathroom was hard to open.I was confused, thinking it was broken, but the person staying there told me that if I pulled hard, it would open. When I asked my wife, she said the same was true for the women's bath. The bathroom mirror was also dirty. There were parts where the temperature adjustment and switching levers were broken and unusable.②ReceptionWomen are unfriendly.They didn't say anything until I told them I was planning to stay there. I think that in the customer service industry, if someone brings in a large bag or something like that, we assume that the person is a new arrival and say something like ``Welcome''.When I was leaving after paying the bill, I said thank you in a small voice at the last moment before leaving the exit.The reception desk is the face of the place, so please keep it bright and cheerful.③RoomThis time we stayed as a family of three. In the image, there were three normal beds, but in reality, one bed was like an auxiliary bed.The lighting in the room is dark.I would like it to be a little brighter.good place①I was left with a good impression as the staff at the dining area gave a cheerful and very kind explanation.It was good that there were many types of all-you-can-eat. I think it would have been even better if there was a little more seafood.Finally, based on opinions such as reviews,I would like to see improvements.Thank you for your support.

In the public bath, the shower was broken and there were places where the water only came out slowly.The comforter in the room was not laid out properly.I think it would have been easier to use the toilet if there were child-friendly trays available and scaffolding.

The air conditioner in room 107 leaks so badly that it needs to be renovated? I don't want to visit unlessOther than that, I had a good time with my dog without any problems, and the food was delicious and the staff made a very good impression.Anyway, please do something about the air conditioner. Everything is ruined. It's so ruined that I want about half of the price returned.

I was able to use a room with a panoramic bath with my pet.The rain leak (or rather, the water leak) was severe. The entire area near the window, which was supposed to have an ocean view, was completely destroyed. From 3 a.m., rainwater started dripping, rather than dripping, and my luggage was submerged in water. (The children's clothes were completely destroyed on the way home...) Their white shirts turned dark brown from the dirty water. (I threw it away when I got home). The caulking on the windows that were stuck in place had completely deteriorated, and water would normally seep in, flooding the floor. My wife and I moved the pet's bed and belongings in the middle of the night, but even after that, the sound of water dripping in the ceiling continued, and I couldn't sleep with my wife until the morning because I was afraid of not knowing where the water would come from next. I didn't.When I looked at the ceiling again the next morning, I saw that the ceiling panels had corroded and turned over due to repeated rain leaks, and the walls had changed color, so the hotel was definitely convinced that it was the culprit. If they knew that, I wish they would have told me, ``Please don't leave your luggage here because it will leak,'' and I would like them to give me a refund for that level of leak in the first place. It's still acceptable if it's a cheap plan for a room with a reason, but I feel like I was scammed.■RoomI understand that it can't be helped because it's old, but at other hotels, even though they are old, you can see the hard work and ingenuity of the employees, but this hotel shows that. I can't feel it. It's completely negligent to leave behind things that can be instantly cleaned by cleaning, such as dust in the room or black mold on the bathroom or air conditioner fins. It didn't seem like we were understaffed. The room air conditioner did not cool the room at all due to insufficient airflow.■FacilitiesI am satisfied with the pool, including the response from the lifeguard. Separate changing rooms for men and women, coin lockers, showers, inflators for flotation devices, and beach umbrellas are available.■Customer serviceI feel like the staff at the fast food restaurant are more polite in their language.The morning greetings were more like greetings from an athletic club. I felt that this was not the fault of the employees, but rather the responsibility of the management and manager, who were willing to maintain this level of cleanliness.In this day and age, you should be able to learn customer service etiquette without spending any money using free materials such as YouTube. Really disappointed.■CookingBoth dinner and breakfast were buffets.I could feel the ingenuity and dedication that went into each and every item.I felt that they had put a lot of thought into how to make the restaurant feel local and enjoyable while keeping costs down.■ThroughoutI get the impression that they are sitting cross-legged with the excuse that ``it can't be helped because the facilities are old.'' I feel like they should focus on things like cleaning and employee training, which can be done without spending money.I think it's a scam to not notify them in advance of a leak of that level.

It was a sudden trip during the peak season, so I thought it would be unavoidable to pay a bit of a premium, but it turned out to be a rip-off.The room had a strong musty smell as soon as I entered. When I asked the front desk, they said I could move to another room, so when I checked that room, there was a really strong musty smell.I had no choice but to stay in the same room, but in addition to the musty smell, the air conditioner, ventilation fan, and curtains were also dirty, making it extremely uncomfortable.Most of the bathrooms in the rooms have capsule showers. There is no changing room, so there is no space to change clothes or even place a towel.Since the accommodation fee was expensive, I was hoping for just food, but that was also terrible. There are only three types of Hamayaki: small oysters, scallops, and crab legs that are so thin that there's no place to eat them. It's more luxurious to buy sashimi at the supermarket. I can't believe this is a hotel so close to the sea. There are many hotels that offer luxurious boat meals even for 10,000 yen per night.Fried foods are also crunchy. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet style, but there was nothing delicious about it. When I looked at the menu to see if they had bottled beer, the menu table was so dirty that I didn't want to touch it.That's over 30,000 yen per person. Impossible.I don't want to stay there again even if it's less than 10,000 yen.
