The room and breakfast are limited, but I like the large public bath in the winter, so I always stay here during the New Year.

9/21, First time on the first day of a three-day holiday, first stay with 3 children. I was a little nervous because it was empty at a time when it was usually full, but I chose it because it was a Japanese-style room with meals included and was cheap.My impression is that this is probably a facility where elderly locals repeatedly use the baths. Stay overnight next.First of all, the location is near the interchange, so you have to go in the opposite lane to enter, but since you were traveling by car, it's a very convenient location.Parking is free and there's plenty of space, but it's quite crowded.At the front desk, you must take off your shoes and put them in a locked locker, which can be a bit of a pain for people with a lot of luggage.Since you have to take one pair at a time, it is not possible for families to pack together. The key will be collected at check-in, so you don't have to worry about losing it. There are usually two people at the front desk, and often three, so it's relatively smooth. The impression I got when I entered was that it was an old hotel.There are two elevators, which are quite slow and poorly coordinated. The Japanese-style room is the type where you enter and use the key stick to turn on the power. First of all, I was concerned about the smell, was it cleaning? It was so strong that I thought it was a cigarette for a moment, even though it was a non-smoking room. The room is sufficient for sleeping, and has a toilet and sink. The air conditioner was installed and I was surprised at how big it was for the room. The refrigerator is a rectangular one, but the output can be adjusted, which is nice. The pillows on the futon are unique and have a lot of round plastic balls in them, making them very sticky. There is one window and a safety bar, but people can pass through it, so it's a bit dangerous, so be careful if you're bringing children.The noise from the cars didn't bother me as much as others said, and since I was on the 5th floor, I could definitely hear the surrounding noises.The loungewear is green and has a very unique pattern, making it a bit difficult to wear.There are no lockers for your keys in the bathroom, so you have to leave your keys in the locker at the entrance using your PIN.The men's and women's baths change places depending on the time.The changing room was the worst ever, first of all, it was so smelly! ! ! ! Are the lockers for day-trippers and overnight guests different, and day-trippers have locks? Comes with a lid. The guests are perper. The lockers of day-trippers smell really bad, and the smells of overnight guests are pretty bad too, even though they're swapping men and women.It might just be a coincidence, but I feel like day trippers are used by touring people, old people, and dirty people.The bath is large and slippery. There are bathtubs with different heat levels. The sauna is hot and of average size, but there are no mats.I thought it could be used for everyday use as long as it was cleaned and cleaned properly.

I stayed here for one night on August 25th. It's near the Iida Interchange on the Chuo Expressway, making it a great location if you're coming by car. This time I used the train because I wanted to cover the entire JR Iida Line, but there are also buses from the station, although they are less frequent. I checked the time in advance, so I didn't have to wait long, and I was there in about 3 minutes from the bus stop.Although the building is not new, it was kept well-maintained and there were no problems.The breakfast is sufficient for a free breakfast at a business hotel. Of particular note was the handmade curry with a lot of ingredients, which was so delicious that I ended up ordering more.There are no tall buildings in the area and there is a good view, and I was able to use the day-trip hot springs attached to the hotel, so I think the cost performance is the best (I stayed on a Sunday, so a special discount was applied online, but I stayed on a weekday) Even the regular price is cheap enough. Considering the price, I thought it would be ok to give it a 5 star). I would like to come again if I have a chance.

I'm glad that I'm taking a day trip bath early in the morning.
