Would return in summer to use pool
Great value, good quality buffet breakfast and dinner included worked out to be a cheap weekend away. Need a car, we hired from Tokyo the drive wasn't too difficult. Or can get train and get car hire in town. Building condition not great but would have extreme weather making upkeep difficult. Comfortable and warm room. Would stay again.
Frankly, before this trip, I was very nervous after read lots of bad comments on internet.
However, this hotel is much better then those bad comments.
1. The location is easy to reach by car and easy parking. Nice and quiet country area.
2. It is old but the hotel still looks fabulous. I did agree that pool is not that clean but it’s Winter.
3. You can find lots of sweet services in the room. They did try their best to offer the best to customers.
4. The breakfast is awesome. The old waiter helped us to bake the bread and bring it to table gently.
So, if you plan to drive a car to visit there and don’t have much budget, this one will be very good choice to stay.
