Clearly serves a specific market and they seem very happy, however I wouldnt recommend for foreign tourists. Rooms are outdated, AC doesnt work, and overall not a particularly comfortable stay. It is low cost howeber, and for the price I think its fair.

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The view of the sea was lovely. The onsen was fantastic! I got there about an hour before check-in and they let me into my room early which was nice. The location is a bit challenging for people without cars but it can be done if you don't mind walking a lot. It's about 20 minutes, mostly uphill, from the train station. There is a bus that runs occasionally between the hotel and the train station. A taxi costs about 800 yen.

Very nice resort-hotel, great view from the rooms and great onsen. Great souvenir shop at the hotel. Rooms are large but with poor decor that was probably done during the bubble years... Hot-spring is GREAT with beautiful view over the bay. In the parking lot of the hotel I noticed one evening a deer and a wild rabbit, that was a nice surprise.

Best hotel in Wakayama

This is the best hotel in Wakayama. Unfortunately, transpiration around the hotel is very limited. For people with cars, it's not a problem. For Japan, the room is very big and clean. The food is a bit expensive, but service is good.
