We booked the hotel specifically for their amenities unfortunately we were not able to use it. Their pool is not allowing kids after 6pm. The next day, it was closed and reopened on the following day which is our check out day. My daughter was very disappointed as she was looking forward to go swimming. And plus*** if you use their amenities you have to pay apart from your payment of the hotel stay.

Firstly …What VIP privilege was there supposed to be? I didn’t receive any. Secondly.. all the facilities stated for the hotel of “gym-pool-spa” are not free for hotel guests. You had to pay JPY 3300 for 2 hours access. The facility of “laundry” is a dry cleaning / laundry service and not a laundry room. I think it’s fair for hotels to choose what they want to offer but please state it clearly in your app. I wouldn’t have booked this hotel had I known all these were as such.
