Staff were friendly, the free breakfast was really good, there was also surprise free curry dinner (??) while we were there so that was a nice bonus. Onsen was nice and quiet.

Incredible value. Made is feel like special guests. Two people showing us to our rooms. A shuttle driver running after us to offer a ride to the train station (we didn't know there was one). Fantastic open bar cocktail hour. Delicious breakfast buffet.
