The hotel is big and the room is big too for our family. The service is really good and they offer free drinks in the lobby. The hotel is old but comfortable. We need to wear our slippers in the hallway because it is a Japanese hotel. My kids enjoyed their comic room even if they don't read Japanese.

Actually its all good ecxept for the check in process. We arrived before 3pm then when the time to check in at 3pm there is a long line in the reception .We had to wait for 35 to 40 mins to received the keys . I think they need to add more staff on their check in process to have smooth check in procedure.

We arrived about 45 minutes ahead of check in time after driving straight from Kansai Airport. The parking lot had about 10 cars in it and the lobby was deserted. I was surprised we were not permitted to check in early and had to wait for the official check in time. Understandable if hotel was busy but it seemed very odd to make us wait. Otherwise, place was generally ok.

運営会社が変わってかなり割り切った運営になっているが、オールインクルーシブや、みんなが使用する共用部分はリニューアルがちゃんとされていて、居心地は良かった。 小学生以下無料プランが開催されていたので比較的小さな子供連れの家族が多く、わちゃわちゃしていたので、ゆっくり大人のリゾートを楽しみたい方は時期をずらした方がいいかもしれません。

４世代８名で３部屋の連泊でしたが事前に２回も電話で部屋の確認をしておいたのに部屋は同じ階ではありましたが建物の端と端に分かれ高齢者には食事やお風呂に行くのは大変な苦労でした。部屋交換をお願いしようかなと思いましたが、チェックイン応対の時間なので諦めました。予約した私が責任を感じて沈んでいたけれど皆が慰めてくれました。部屋割の一件以外は子供達が食事やプールや温泉をとても楽しんでいました。スタッフの皆さんの工夫と努力に感謝しております。
