Although the facility is old, it is well-maintained and clean. There is a courtyard on the third floor.However, it is disappointing that there is no outlet near the bedside and the indoor lighting feels a little dim.There is also a convenience store nearby, about a 3-minute walk away, which is very convenient.The breakfast buffet had plenty of variety, and I ate as much as I could, including curry.The problem is that the parking lot is difficult to find. It's behind the hotel, but the road is narrow and right at the intersection, so I think it's easy to miss. It might be a good idea to use Day Service Hidamari as a landmark. I think it may be a regional issue, but there are signs posted in parking lots that warn of tsunamis in the event of a Nankai Trough earthquake.

Since the tour didn't include dinner, I had trouble finding something to eat. Other than that, it's a very normal business hotel.

Even though I made a last-minute reservation over the phone, they were happy to accommodate me.The room was a little more spacious than hotels in the same price range and was comfortable without feeling cramped or oppressive.There is no public bath, but the bathroom in the room was also spacious.Amenities can be selected from the lobby and taken with you.I felt that the staff were very responsive and well-trained.The breakfast was very fulfilling and I was able to eat a lot from the morning. If you have a buffet with round plates, the top of the plate will be messy, but square plates with partitions were a nice idea, allowing you to choose small portions of what you liked.The Wifi was connected well and the response was quick 📱⚡

Stayed in December 2021. Less than 10 minutes walk from Shingu Station. The lobby is nice and the front desk is friendly. A microwave and ice maker are available on the 3rd floor. The room is spacious and although it feels old, it has been carefully cleaned and is satisfactory. Recommended around here
