The hotel is definitely unique! i requested a non-smoking japanese style room which they did provided! i honestly loved the view of the Lask Ashi from my room! The staff was friendly and definitely helpful! I made a mistake of booking a smoking room, but i needed a non-smoking room, which they easily changed it to that when i emailed in regards of my booking mistakes. Their onsen are phenomenal! they had an indoor onsen and outdoor onsen, tried both and i think i love the outdoor onsen over the indoor ones(just a personal preference) I guess my only downside for this hotel is the housekeeping, i did stay for 4 days and 3 nights, it didnt seem that they do any housekeeping at all? luckily i had some plastic bags that i used as a garbage bags(there was also some garbage can in my room, but it didnt look like its enough, since there was no housekeeping during my stays. The room is a little outdated, could really use some renovations in my opinion. But other than those, i would definitely come back to this place and hopefully it gets some improvements in regards of housekeeping and renovations. Oh, they also have some sort of curfew before they locked their doors. If i remember correctly there are 2 doors that you can get in, the main big door which closes at 21:00 pm, and the small door besides it that closes at 23:00 pm, so if you are planning on staying to this place, those are the hours before they close the doors for the night(Ya, it kind of weirds me out regards of curfew)
