"コテージはとても素敵でした。お部屋は広々としていて、畳の部屋も心地よく、ゆっくりと過ごすことができました。小鳥のさえずりが聞こえる静かな環境も最高です。虫を心配していましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。 ただ一点、非常に残念だったことがあります。チェックイン時に、1泊あたり3,300円の暖房費を別途請求されました。正直なところ、この金額は少し高すぎると感じます。もしExpediaの予約画面に事前に記載されていれば納得できましたが、現地で突然支払う形だったため、あまり良い気分ではありませんでした。予約時の料金に含めるか、事前に明記してほしかったです。"

10/10 Excellent
"My wife is a Sendai native so we come twice a year on average and have stayed in many hotels. This was hands down our favorite stay to date. The location is fantastic, incredibly convenient with all the shopping including retail, restaurants, pharmacy, grocery and atms including two 7/11 ATM floor two at the bottom of the elevator just around the corner for US visitors. You do not have to leave shelter to get to all trains and most subways. The hotel room itself was amazing, great views, comfortable beds and a great bathroom with a jetted tub on the premium room we booked that was a nice improvement for us over the public baths some hotels offer. The lounge was great for relaxing and getting a free coffee. The staff were all polite and offered excellent service, room service requests for amenities were almost Mr. Deeds fast lol, if you know you know. This will be our one and only from now on when visiting family in Sendai. Thank you for an incredible stay."
