A cozy place for a work meeting, a somewhat delicious breakfast, a set schedule, a full plate for business people, air conditioning and heating pads, as in winter it is not at all pleasant

Accommodation fee is cheap and good. Under the National Accommodation Support System, if you have proof of coronavirus vaccination, you can stay overnight for around 4,000 yen, including dinner and breakfast. You can also get a 3,000 yen coupon as an extra.The food is average. It's like a daily set meal. It may be difficult for people who are particular about their meals and menu items that they cannot normally eat. The rice comes in a bowl and will fill you up. Well, I ended up paying an additional 2000 yen after drinking sake and bottled beer.The rooms are air conditioned and have free Wi-Fi (password required). Each room is less than 10 square meters in size. 3.6m x 2.7m (6 tatami). There was a TV, but there were almost no channels on it. Was Karuizawa like this? Is it just here? It would be nice if each room had an internet TV. You can buy a 32-inch model for around 30,000 yen.The men's toilet in the shared toilet has a heated toilet seat and a washlet (it's common to find toilets without that feature at prices around here). There are two toilets, one of which doesn't have a door for some reason. It is completely visible from the side where the small part is added. Well, as long as two people don't go in at the same time (surprisingly, two people went in the next morning. I left the restroom so they wouldn't look inside lol).The bath is a family bath with an internal lock. However, the lighting in the bathroom is very dark. Maybe it's intentionally dark. When you open the bathroom window, you will see a parking lot. There are blinds so no one can peep in, and you can't see it from outside either. Usage hours are from 17:00 to 22:30. After that, you can use it, but only for showers. You can only use the shower in the morning bath.Within walking distance, there are surprisingly many convenience stores, home improvement stores, ramen shops, liquor stores, clothing stores (Shimamura), 100 Kin, hair salons, docomo shops, and drug stores.Staff service is average. Basically, there are no employees in the hotel. Press the call button at the front desk and someone will come out from the back room. Wait a moment. If it does not appear after waiting, press an additional button. There may be only one staff member serving the food. I'm alone except for the kitchen, so it might be a one-off operation.I can't say it's the best service, but it's a ryokan that's worth the price. B&B? is. After about three years of self-restraint due to the coronavirus pandemic, go to travel and a nationwide accommodation support system have begun. We all (accommodation facility side, user side) want to overcome this difficult situation and get back on track.

You can stay cheaply in Karuizawa. The room was bare bones and didn't even have an air conditioner.
