4/5
It is very unique in that it has a government office and a gymnasium attached to it, and is said to be a successful example of public-private collaboration in the region.However, there are some things that I feel are lacking in the basic aspects of an accommodation facility. The thing that bothered me the most was the "sound". The room had zero soundproofing, as I could hear the person next door clearing their throat and the Shinkansen running nearby.I also got the impression that the cleaning was not done properly. This is a big negative point as cleanliness is one of the most important aspects of accommodation. Additionally, it is inconvenient to only provide slippers, even though it is assumed that guests will be walking around the premises. I think it would have been a little more comfortable if I had at least brought sandals for inside the hotel.The meal itself was buffet-style, and there was a wide variety of choices, but the lack of cleanliness may dampen your appetite. I was wondering if staff with experience in the lodging industry are involved in the operation of the accommodation facility. Simply creating a superficially fancy facility with the feel of a community center will not satisfy users.Access is very good. There are tourist attractions, restaurants, and supermarkets nearby, so I felt it was very convenient. However, as the population declines in the future, maintenance costs may become a burden. The future management policy will be questioned as to whether this location can be utilized as a tourist resource.During times when many families stay, children's voices and footsteps can easily be heard. During my stay, I was also concerned about the noise coming from the room next door, and I feel like my vacation was a little ruined. The sound issue is a big issue for accommodation facilities, so I think it needs to be improved.Although the design of the facility is new, I got the impression that the construction costs were kept low. The walls are thin and the noise from the next room can be heard, making it quite stressful for guests.It is unusual for a building to have such noticeable roughness despite being relatively young. I wonder if it was built with the image of a club or athletic club training camp in mind? Since this is not the Showa or Heisei era, isn't soundproofing required for individual private rooms?I feel it has potential, but I wonder if it needs to improve its quality as an accommodation facility.The rates are reasonable and the cost performance is good, but there is a need for a full range of services and facilities to ensure that guests have a comfortable stay. We need to create an environment that makes tourists and business users want to come back. We look forward to future improvements and hope you have a better experience on your next visit.

Children who appeared to be on a training camp were playing soccer on the lawn, but none of their parents were watching.No one pays any attention to him even if he runs out onto the road chasing the ball.
