You can probably see from the score that I don't rate this place that highly. I'll let the facts speak for themselves:
- When I checked in, the floor of my room was completely covered in pieces of chocolate cookies. Clearly it had not been cleaned!
- I had asked for a non-smoking room, which this apparently was, but it stank of smoke!
- When I asked to change rooms, they couldn't change me, but gave me something to spray in the air instead - it was a can of furniture cleaner! That was pretty funny.
OK, the good news is that it is quite close to a tram stop, so you can catch one into the centre of town quite easily. You can also walk to some nearby convenience stores. I think that is all the good news.
There was a communal hot bath on one of the floors, I had a quick look but a large crowd of kids had just arrived and had taken over the floor pretty much, so I didn't explore further. It looked a little grotty though.
Overall, not much to recommend it and I wouldn't go back. I'd probably choose something in Dogo Onsen instead, which is a charming little hot springs town.
