The staff was courteous and the hotel was in a nice location. The bath was very nice. The advertisement said we would have a buffet breakfast but instead they served us breakfast in the room next door to us - which was beautiful and very nice. However we had the choice of 7:30 am or an 8 am breakfast, so if you want to sleep later don't order breakfast. My husband needed to stay until 12 noon for an online meeting, but check-out time is 10 am. They charged us 3000 yen to stay an two extra hours - which I thought was too much money and a little ungracious of them.

お部屋は年代を感じられましたが、旅館スタッフの感じがとても良くて、お風呂もお部屋の広さや景色も良かったです。 激安価格の宿泊だったので、旧館ということもあり畳が疲れてたりトイレが昔のタイプなので狭いです。お部屋のお掃除ももう少し丁寧にして頂きたかった点がちょっと残念かな。 新館はHPで紹介されているようなステキなお部屋だったのではないかな、と思います。 家族での宿泊で、小さすぎるトイレやお部屋からの景色やお風呂など、子供達にとってどれも楽しい思い出になりましたよ。 近場のこけし館ではこけし作りをしているおじいさんにホッコリしてきました。 お天気が雨でお散歩できませんでしたが、旅館周辺のお散歩は気持ち良さそうでした。

温泉はとても快適だったが、部屋の水道の水が濁っていたり、そもそも水道の出が悪かったり、トイレの臭気が強いなど、設備の古さのせいか、所々で残念に思う点があった。
