Too much money for what you get

Not worth it. Way over priced! We stayed one night. Staff are very nice. But the place is of a by gone era. It’s old but not in a charming way. Showers in the onsen are cold and you have to wait for many minutes in order for hot water to come out. The rooms and elevators are old. the outdoor hotspring is on the top floor with no facilities (you have to go downstairs first and shower) and no real view to speak of. The location is on the main drag which is nice. But it should be 1/2 the cost and even then I’d reconsider for other places.

スタッフの方の対応はすばらしいです。ただ、施設の老朽か、朝食の質をみて価格相応か考えると多少不満は残ります。平日のため、周辺の店舗などはほぼ営業しておらず浴衣で散歩を楽しもうという気持ちもなくなりました。

食事の好き嫌いの好みにとても丁寧に答えて頂きとても嬉しく、家族に合わせたメニューで大変美味しく頂きました。コロナ禍の中、宿泊者が少なかった様で、部屋のグレードも無料アップして頂きました。女将はじめ、中居さんや清掃の方もとても温かい雰囲気で、2泊したのですが、ゴロゴロしたい様子を悟ってか布団の上げ下げも聞いてくださったり、のんびりと過ごすことができました。お風呂は小さめですが、浴場と屋上露天風呂があり、源泉掛け流しでとにかく温まります。 雰囲気の温かい旅館です！
