"訳ありの和室に家族で宿泊しました。室内にはお風呂が無くて壁が薄い部屋でした。(チェックイン時に説明があります) 確かに隣の部屋の扉を開ける音も聞こえましたが、寝るだけと割り切って宿泊したので全く気になりませんでした♪ 宴会をしたいグループにはお勧めしません。そういうホテルではないです。 壁紙が部分的にはがれている所もありましたがトイレは新しくてキレイです。 訳ありですがそれ以上にサービスが良いので満足です。 夕食はカレーがサービスで食べれます。(おかわり禁止)おかわりをしないかチェックしているスタッフの👀は少し気になりました。 朝食は美味しいです😋 大浴場のお湯はけっこうヌルい♨️です。サウナ好きは満足出来ると思います。気になったのはお風呂に飲料水がないところですかね。 館内にアルコールの販売は全くないです。チェックイン前に購入しておくか、近くのコンビニで買うしかないです。 不便な点もありますが、不便さを上回るサービスがあるので気持ち良く過ごす事が出来ました♪"
