4/5
I stayed for one night in a room with an open-air bath. It was very convenient as it was on the first floor, right near the front desk. The room was clean and there was nothing to worry about. The monuments and design of both the room and the rest of the room were cute and nice!I also used the rented open-air bath for 45 minutes, and the washroom and changing room were spacious and I was able to relax.The breakfast service was sufficient with bread, salad, sausage, and omelet.As for what I'm concerned about,・Walls or ceilings? I could hear footsteps echoing, maybe because it was thin or because it was being renovated.・The provided bath towels were a little dusty and had poor water absorption.・There is no elevator, so you might have a hard time staying on the 3rd or 4th floor, and the inside of the hotel was like a maze, probably because it was a renovated inn that had been expanded several times.Are there people who care? Overall, I think it was very good, including the location near Yubatake!

[Location] Both the bus terminal and Yubatake were within 5 minutes, and Jizo no Yu was also right next to it.[Hot spring] As expected, this is a hot spring in Kusatsu. My skin became smooth.【room】The room was spacious and clean, and there was a basket bag for touring the hot springs. When I went to the hot springs, I got a wet bath towel, so I asked the front desk to exchange it for a new one.【breakfast】I was very satisfied with the bread, salad, coffee, soup, and the question ``Is this free?''This is a hotel I would like to use again.

Previously, I used the open-air bath in a private room for a day trip with my boyfriend.As the end of use approached and I was about to move from the open-air bath to the indoor room, I noticed a worker sitting outside on what looked like an outdoor unit. It seems like it's been there ever since we started using it. I didn't see him peeking at me, but I was shocked to learn that he could have peeked at me and secretly filmed me if he wanted to.At the time, I was so surprised that I just reported it to the front desk and it was over, but even after I returned home, I still had the feeling that someone had actually been watching me.It's unclear whether the outdoor unit is from this store, so the worker may not be from the store either, but since this happened at this store, I'm posting it here. I will do it.

The bare minimum was all there.The rooms are clean, and it's an old-fashioned building, so the footsteps are loud, but it doesn't bother me too much.Yubatake is also nearby, so I recommend it.

I stayed in the best room at another sister hotel, but it was too big and I didn't feel comfortable.The only good thing I can find is the open-air bath in the guest room.I was looking forward to breakfast at our sister hotel.Ichinoyu's breakfast is honestly over.Even if you go to the buffet, the menu is small.There were only two side dishes to choose from: sausage and omelet.There's also one salad and one soup.There was no rice and only two types of dry bread.Very disappointing for breakfast lovers.The problem is that the parking lot is far away.

We used room 000, which has an open-air bath.I think the quality of the hot springs was also good and clean. Room 000 has direct access to the outside, which is very convenient.If we work a little harder on nighttime service, we will have 120 stores!
