For the past 20 years or so, it has been my tradition to stay here at the end of the year. This year, I stayed at the hotel at the end of 2022.I was wondering what would happen to the facility after the management changed, but I never expected it. I never expected to receive such cold treatment.I was treated very well by the previous manager, and I will be coming again next year! I felt like I was being betrayed this year. They acted and behaved as if my stay there was a nuisance, and when I checked out, they didn't even show me their faces even when I looked into the manager's room.Unfortunately, I have to give it a 1 star rating for this stay.It's really a shame that the impression and evaluation of the facility can change so much just by changing the manager.I think the local government is in charge of the facility, but I think they should give some thought to the selection of the manager.What should I do next year?

My brother and sister stayed here for 2 nights. Since we were only staying overnight and no meals were included, we had dinner at a restaurant ordered from elsewhere. The newly renovated building is relatively clean and spacious. The bath is filled with carbonated water. I didn't ask about the accommodation fee, but it doesn't seem that expensive? . The manager also seems kind. Reservations are required, but we recommend it for those who want to enjoy the elegance of the countryside with a river flowing nearby.

This is a place you don't come to unless this is your goal. They will boil fresh carbonated spring water, so please make a reservation by phone at least an hour before your arrival.The bubbles are pretty good and there aren't many people so you can relax.I'd like to stay there someday.

They arrived after 2:00 p.m., and they said they were on time at 2:00 p.m., and that they were re-boiling water for guests staying at the hotel at 2:00 p.m. Judging from the content of the conversation, there is a possibility that we will not be able to enter at 1:30 p.m.

Cold springs will be available until the end of September. It's a really good carbonated spring. Since it is boiled after October, the carbonation will be lost.
