Rooms are comfortable although the furniture is quite old-style. There is a public bath inside with sauna and hot/cold pool. Breakfast is excellent and offers a very varied selection of foods to try.

Please check this as a warning for future guests.9/14(Sat)Stayed as a family of 4 (me, wife, 2 year old son, and wife's younger sister)Book a standard triple room with 3 single bedsMy wife and her younger sister went there because there was a one-off concert. During that time, my son and I were planning to kill time and eat at a commercial facility near the hotel, and then return to the hotel and put our child to bed by 9pm.I am writing this because there was a problem with the equipment and the subsequent response was the worst.・The room was not cleaned properlyFrom 20:00 to 20:30When using a unit bath with a toilet, bath, and sink in the room, I fill the bathtub halfway with hot water and take a bath with my child. When I finished washing and pulled out the stopper, the water didn't drain properly and overflowed. Water flooded to the bottom of the toilet and sink.I moved to the entrance with my whole body wet and changed into pajamas and a hairdryer on the spot. The hair dryer was delivered to the door, which was helpful.・The response after informing the front desk was poor.Around 20:30-21:00I immediately called the front desk and asked to change the room, but they said, ``We are fully booked, so we cannot move you. We will come to clean it right away.'' So I asked them to clean the drain as an emergency measure, and they said, ``It's okay now.'' Please be careful when using the product.'' I was relieved.There were two alternative proposals that were rejected for the following reasons.I somehow managed to get into my room, so I asked for help and had it cleaned.1.How about using the public bath?(Can I take my 2-year-old to the public bath? Both of my family members are girls when they come home, and it's late at night, so I'd like to take them separately if possible.)2. There is another room where you can only use the bath, so why not use that? (This was so poorly explained that I didn't understand what it meant. I thought there was another room.)Around 23:00My wife and sister came home, and when my wife took a bath, we found ourselves in the same situation as before. This is no good. I rushed to the front desk to let them know, but I had to wait at the front desk for about 10 minutes, probably because they were understaffed.The person who came out as the person in charge was the front man who had cleaned earlier. Even if I talked to the same person, I couldn't get my point across, so I asked for another person to be in charge."Please wait a moment while we check the situation."After confirmation, first word"It looks like we'll be able to find a suite room, so how about we move there?"Ah, I'm being licked. I thought. Don't kid yourself.I also get angry when people say things like "I did my best to find a room." If there was space, it would have been better if they had told me before 9pm...the two girls had not yet returned and their luggage had not spread out. It didn't take much time to move, and the child had just barely gone to bed, so I was able to move.Are you asking me to move after 11pm even though I risk waking my kids? Do you want us to pack up our expanded belongings and move again?I thought this is what it means to be surprised and laugh.After discussion, it was decided that the accommodation fee would be refunded, but I can't afford it at all, so I am writing here.I'll forget about it from now on.Since it is scheduled to close soon, I don't think there will be any new or repaired equipment, but I recommend that those who are planning to stay here from now on do so with at least a little caution.

Anyway, it's a wonderful hotel and I hope it doesn't disappear. There is no hotel in Tachikawa where you can see a Japanese garden like this. It's a hotel that we want people from overseas to stay at, so it's a shame that it's gone.
