Stayed in a twin room.It's a business hotel, so I don't have high expectations.The facility is a little old.The room is not dirty, but there are some spots of dirt.There was no clothesline in the unit bath, so I tried to hang a towel on the shower curtain, but it turned out moldy...Well, it's okay.Breakfast has fewer items than other route inns. The good thing is that there are 3 types of soup.Also, the bed is too hard.It was very hard to sleep because the mat was so stiff and there was only a moderate amount of cushion.It’s a bit depressing to think that I’ll be in this bed for the next 3 days😞The public bath is small but clean.

There is no drinking water in the room, but you will be given a jeton for the vending machine when you check in, so you can get a free bottle of your favorite drink afterwards. The room was not large, but it was clean and the bed was hard, so I slept well. The large public bath is an artificial hot spring using radium bath additives. The bathhouse is not that big. The TV displayed that it was currently a bit crowded, but in reality there was only one user.

As a solo traveler like myself, I was very grateful for the constant support of the staff. It's possible that the breakfast rice I received was "new rice?!", which is available at this time of year.It was so delicious! Although I live in Yamagata inland, I prefer Shonai rice, and I would have been surprised at how delicious it was if it were new rice.

My god this place has an onsen, so already a huge bonus. :) location is really good and lots of isekayas around to drop by for beers and snacks. Also such an aesthetic suburban neighborhood. Family mart 350m away. The staff was super nice and helpful. Onsen has washing machine and dryer inside so I great bonus.Sadly the room had two major issues...the pillow were horrible, lumpy and you only get one! The second was the AC was quite old and really dehydrated me throughout the night. Woke up with a headache, 😔But place still gets 4 stars because overall it was great!

When I try to use the air purifier and plug it into the outlet, the door won't open.The washlet makes a lot of noise, but no water comes out.Beer in vending machines is sold out, etc.It was a hotel with noticeable improvements and repairs.disappointing
