I had a great view from my room.The ladies who came to clean the room were very kind.I thought it would be okay based on other people's reviews, but it was totally fine.One thing I thought was that there were no pamphlets about sightseeing spots at all.Overall it was good.

Off-season reservationsI was able to stay cheaply on the top floor with 1 night and 2 meals included.I was able to have a great vacation by relaxing from everyday fatigue in the quiet guest room and the large public bath with a view of the horizon from the large windows.This is also a hotel I would like to stay at.

I will post it so that no one becomes a victim.This is a fraudulent hotel.There's nothing particularly good about it.There are also opinions from othersI will summarize it below (it is a long text, but if you are thinking about using it, please use it only if you are okay with it)① I was unable to get through on the phone, and from the conversation on the phone I could tell that this place was not there.It wasn't a bad response, but rather a hotel operation or a local person talking on the phone.I guess I'm in a hurry, so I quickly hang up the phone.I'm not sure what will happen if I cancel by phone.②The public bath really stinks.There's a strong smell of farm feces coming from the changing room, probably from sewage.Other people have written about it, but I was hoping it was just a coincidence or an exaggeration, but I'm scared of the people who can endure it.It is impossible to charge a bathing fee for this bath.It's a punishment game.The shower in the room is still better.③The hot spring in the large public bath is only open-air, and the indoor bath is probably just hot water.I don't know of such a hot spring hotel, so the open-air bath is also suspicious.The open-air bath you get to your room is just hot water.Please note that there is no specific information on the reservation page.④Cleaning is not thorough.The public bath is the worst, but the shower room is also full of mold.I'm worried about water/mold and dust.④It's been a long time since I parked my car at the entrance and no staff came out.It's fine, but it's not possible for a 4 star hotel, right?Of course, there is no service that will carry your luggage.Also, there is no greeting such as thank you for your hard work when you arrive, thank you when you leave or go out, or hello.They didn't seem to have any bad intentions, but I didn't think they had any intention of providing any service.⑥ I'm disappointed in the interior, which looks like it's a school or a hospital, and it looks like it's on a school trip.⑦The meal was the most expensive kaiseki meal, but it was not worth the price.I'm trying to fool myself with grilled seafood and seafood, but the food is a little weird.The serving staff are fried.It's a pottery. It's rice.I brought the dish without giving any explanation or name.There is no way to cut sashimi.The rice was tasteless.This is lumpy rice that is cooked in a large pot and takes quite a while.The crab rice was also disappointing.I want scissors for crabs.⑧Breakfast is not as disappointing as above, but it is below average.⑨Also, there are some comments saying that the scenery is nice, but that's normal.I don't think it was every day, but maybe because of the location, biker gangs were noisy in the middle of the night.Please do not use it with your lover or on anniversaries.(Actually, I don't want anyone to use it)Mass-produced business hotels such as Route Inn are much better.If Route Inn and Toyoko Inn are 2 or 3 stars, this is definitely 1 or 2 stars.I wonder if there are actually people who don't travel much who would agree that this is a 4 star hotel.This is a bad hotel that needs to go out of business because it makes money at a rate that is not worth it (probably a 4 star hotel).

Stayed for one night. Dinner is a set meal, or kaiseki, but there is almost no seafood, so it's better than simple!The building and rooms are relatively clean.There is a lot of noise in the room (toilet drain sound? gas sound). There seems to be a problem with the architectural design of the upper and lower floors.

I made a reservation from the official website.All requests and questions are ignored.I didn't feel like going so I canceled. I think I didn't waste 66,000 yen.
