First of all, I booked a non-smoking room, but when I checked in, I was given a smoking floor. When I went to the counter, I kept insisting that there was a non-smoking room and there was no room to change. Some money was deducted from the refund. Very poor check-in experience! Please also note that staying guests‼ ️

The attitude was so bad that I couldn't believe it was from a hotel front desk.Do they even employ foreigners?I think there was a middle-aged man with a bad attitude about a year ago.I used to have the impression that there were a lot of nice people, but I don't care because I probably won't use them again.

This style has an open-air bath on the first floor. Dinner at the hotel is nice, but we recommend the hotel's favorite izakaya called Maekawa Suigun 👍

The location is very good, close to Higo-Otsu Station (Aso Kumamoto Airport Station), supermarkets, convenience stores, and restaurants nearby. It's not inconvenient even if you don't have a car.The building is old. The soundproofing is not good and you can hear the noise from the railroad tracks. The saving grace is that the number of trains is small. The air conditioner is also a little noisy.There is a large public bath, and it looks like a hot spring. The washing area is large enough for 6 people.Free breakfast! You can choose your own healthy menu. It opens from 6:30, and 6:30 is probably the busiest time. You can enter without lining up around 7:00.Free welcome coffee available in the lobby.Overall the service is good.By the way, there is a free shuttle bus between Higo-Otsu Station and Kumamoto Airport. It's close to the station, so it's easily accessible from the airport!
