I visited for the first time in two years during the Obon holiday, but I couldn't check in until 3pm, and ended up waiting until 5pm. No contact during that time. Even when I asked about it, all they said was that the room hasn't been cleaned yet, and they didn't even ask the cleaning staff how much time it would take.The next day I had to wait an hour after my reservation time for breakfast. Most of the food and drinks were gone, and they wouldn't replenish them unless I told the staff.I thought that if there was a shortage of staff, it would be better not to fill the room.We stayed for 2 nights, so on the second day I was in the room when it was being cleaned, and I was shocked to see someone walking through the entrance and hallway of my room in socks and no shoes. I did. I walked on the futon and around the room in those socks. When I warned one of the cleaning staff, she didn't apologize, but without saying a word, she wiped the soles of her socks with a rag and walked across the floor outside into the room again. It's usually dirty.A luxury hotel? Membership hotel? That's what it feels like. It's a shame that you paid so much money to come here.

It's true that compared to the past... it feels less like a vacation (´・ω・`)But I think it's still the best in terms of the convenience of swimming in the sea. After all, being able to go into the sea, go straight to the hot springs, and return to the guest room is great.postscriptThere are some bad things written about it though.I hate to say it, but it has the biggest advantage. it is,There are no Chinese people because it is a membership system.That's all there is to it.Shall we go to another hotel? I'm really glad I stayed at this hotel.
