A route-in hotel with plenty of benefits.This time I stayed for consecutive nights (3 nights).If you change your room cleaning to simple cleaningEach person will receive one bottle of canned beer, canned shochu high, or soft drink for each number of times they clean. (I received 4 pieces this time)In addition, you can receive drink service by making an online reservation. (Coins for vending machines)You can enter the large public bath for women with a special card key, so don't worry.Breakfast is a buffet, and the contents change little by little every day, so you can eat it every day without getting bored.There is also a convenient system that allows you to check the crowd status of the dining area and public bath from your room.For those who probably use it for work, or for excursions for club activities? game? There was a group using the breakfast venue, and they were able to use the breakfast venue smoothly using the system.There was a pub and a convenience store near the hotel, so it was very convenient.Sightseeing in Yamaguchi for 3 nights and 4 days based here. I thoroughly enjoyed Yamaguchi.Thank you for your help.

This is my second time staying here, but I stayed here again because it was a comfortable stay last time. Easy access and ample parking space. The guest room is a twin room this time, and the reception staff is polite and satisfying.

I used it at workThere are day and night shifts, soDue to car circumstances, I had to use my car on night shift.I wanted to leave the key at the front desk since I would be using it during the day.``Because it is a valuable item, we cannot keep it.''When I asked the reason, it was because they had a lot of requests for things to be kept and they were over capacity.After that, someone else went to drop off their work clothes, but they were able to keep them as normal.But I'm worried if it's okay because I don't take notes.Is it possible to store valuables over capacity?That staff member also received a message from above. Is this staff member not good?It's a shame because up until now the staff (front desk, cleaning, food) had been very pleasant.You looked sleepyThe reason why the room got 1 star is because the floor of the room was soaked when I woke up.The staff's response after that was perfect....On the contrary, I would like you to keep my valuables.It's a valuable item, so... is not included in the explanation.It's easier to understand if they tell you that they won't keep your valuables for these reasons.

It is an old type of route in and is relatively good, but the male front cannot be used. The female front desk staff is very nice, but the male staff is seriously terrible.
