Independent in Yanai from NZ$58

"From the moment we arrived the hospitality of the front desk and the morning breakfast were great. Our room was super clean and as soon as we figure out on how to turn the lights on everything was great"

"Staff is friendly, and the rooms are clean, comfortable and affordable. Extremely convenient and highly recommend."

"Clean room"

"Right in front of train station "

"This is a super cool hotel with a strong historical vibe. The Oki room had a private courtyard and spacious quarters. There are stairs from the entrance and bathroom to the sleeping area, which I mention in case any reader has difficulty with stairs. The staff was very helpful."

"Grocery food was very convenient because the super was across the street. Hot food was also available."

"Clean, close to the JR train station, nice free breakfast, and helpful staff."

"Loved my stay for three days in quiet, relaxed neighborhood enjoying passing of time. Delicious buffet in the morning at the first floor diner. Greatly enjoyed BGM radio playing classical music. Happy zoo and interesting museum in walking distance. Will definitely visit again. "

"This was by far the nicest room/resort we have stayed in. After being cramped in many Japanese hotels and ryokans, this was much much larger with three queen/full size beds, a 65" TV and an outdoor bath (mineral salts available in the lobby). However, please understand that as this location is very remote, dining options in the area and transportation may be limited. This may be why we didn't see any foreigners there? However, they do provide pick-up service to and from the Shin-Iwakuni station depending on the room you're staying in given you contact them at least three days in advance. Although our Shinkansen was unexpectedly delayed by two hours due to rain/lightning, they patiently waited for our arrival and did not leave us stranded. Perhaps the only downside was that we only stayed two nights as I felt we could've done with some more downtime and taking advantage of the amenities including the bikes and SUPs. I hope to return again soon, staying for a longer time next time. Thank you Marissa Resort for giving us an incredible and memorable vacation!"
