A friend of mine has been staying here for a long time. One day, his son collapsed and was admitted to the hospital. When my son contacted the hotel, they said they wouldn't give any consideration and insisted on charging us a cancellation fee. How about being a human being before a hotel?

I stayed here while traveling by car.Although it's far from Okayama Station, there are plenty of free surface parking lots, so you can come and go as you like.The twin room was spacious, clean and comfortable.The restaurant is home to the popular Zona Italia from Furutadai, Hiroshima, and seems to be visited by many locals.I didn't have a meal this time, but it seems like you can have breakfast there as well.

A very large and expensive hotel. I had no choice but to use it because it was specified by the company. The room is spacious, clean, and relaxing. There is a power switch and outlet next to the bed, which is convenient. However, some of the lights (on the desk side) cannot be controlled from the bedside, so you need to turn them off before going to bed. The breakfast is buffet-style, and although there isn't a huge variety, there are dishes that you'll want to eat in the morning. The sweet and spicy stew of chicken and vegetables was delicious.The location was quite far from the station, so we took the bus.My room was on the east side of the 10th floor, and I had a nice view of the morning sun.There is a Royal Host and a convenience store next to the hotel.

You need to have earplugs ready.The refrigerator and air conditioner are so worn out that they are making a loud noise.

Stayed there during Golden Week in May 2014.I'm a local, but I use this place because I want to relax. It felt like a hidden gem.Good points・I was able to spend a very quiet time. Also, the bedding was moderately soft and I was able to sleep soundly.- Convenient as there is an outlet near the bed and even a remote control for the air conditioner.・In addition to face towels and bath towels, hand towels were provided, which was good and hygienic (high rating points).・Employees were kind, courteous, and had a good impression.・Breakfast was served in a plate format, drinks such as juice and coffee were self-serve, and the venue was large enough that I was able to spend a relaxing time. Also, the choice of music at the venue was excellent.What was not good about it・It's a little far from the station.・The noise from the air conditioning throughout the building is a bit worrisome (a point mentioned by others).Although it is a little far from the station, it is highly recommended as a place to stay when you want to spend some time relaxing.
