It's like a resort, with big rooms, plenty of parking spaces, and close to the sights. However, the waitress' attitude was a bit impatient to answer questions.

Cosy hotel. Lovely staff!
Hotel is great overall. Give you a nice European feel. I love the small shop and the reception a lot. Room is a little small but you have all you need. The restaurant and bar were great. Breakfast was awesome!
The only thing was the dinner arrangement (I booked half board). It worked like a cash coupon but no one could explain to us clearly. Could have translated it into proper English instead of explaining it verbally.
Our overall experience were just great.
Services were excellent too.

Stay charge on first night was supposed half board . Unlike previous stays , we were told to have dinner at wine bar with a discount coupon of yen 5,000 each instead of the restaurant. Staff agreed to charge each of us (4 altogether) an additional Yen 3,000 to change to restaurant dining . It turned out that the final bill charged us an additional yen 4,000 each plus the original price of the set dinner at Yen 7,800!!! Each of us ( 4 guests) were overcharged by Yen 8,800 as compared to what the staff agreed with us !!!!!!!!!! We were overcharged by at least yen 35,200!!! Excluding tax

If you don’t know Japanese, I don’t recommend you to stay at this hotel. Staff speak no English. The dinner coupon given to us to have dinner at the restaurant next door was in Japaneses only and staff at the restaurant didn’t seem to know (we seemed don’t know too) what to do. We didn’t get to eat our dinner until 9 pm.
The location is far from the train station and sightseeing spots. It is not easy to get a taxi either if you don’t have an app for local taxi. We had to walk. The facility a kind of old and the carpet was very dirty.
the hotel is old style, no elevator, no staff service, nobody help you out for taking luggage to parking lot, not easy to take luggage upstairs. But, I like the room is very big and good styled
