I only took family photos, so I don't have any photos of the hotel itself,
but I'll try to break down the pros and cons in as much detail as possible.
The pros are:
It's close to the airport and on the outskirts, so it's quiet. Personally, what I liked most was that the guests were mostly Japanese families, without any crowds. They were polite and respectful, and the atmosphere was great, allowing for a comfortable stay.
The hot springs and sauna are open from morning until late.
There's a souvenir shop and convenience store on the first floor, which was convenient.
Breakfast offers a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, but the menu is the same for all three days, so keep that in mind if you're planning on having breakfast back-to-back.
The cons are:
Because it's an older hotel, the facilities are old and don't feel very clean.
The carpets in the guest rooms, especially the ones connected to the hallways, are obviously dirty.
You have to wear shoes or slippers anywhere except on the bed, which was inconvenient. There seem to be rooms without carpet, but you'll have to look into it based on your personal preferences.
The most inconvenient part of the experience was the walkway.
The walkway between the main building and the annex is long, and the elevators have different floor numbers, which can be confusing (in the main building, you press the 2nd floor button, and in the annex, you press the 3rd floor button).
The annex also has elevators at both ends, one for floors 1-6, the other for floors 2-12. For example, if you're in a room on the 11th floor and want to get to the first floor, you have to take the elevator on the left to the 3rd floor, then the elevator at the opposite end, and then go back to the first floor. LOL
The microwave is only on the first floor, and I had a really hard time using it once. I was a bit confused as to why they made it this way.
And parking is 1,800 yen per day.
There's also a private parking lot right in front for 700 yen.
You can just park in the annex if there's an empty space...
Instead, if you park in the paid mechanical parking lot, they'll check your ticket when you enter and exit, and it takes a long time. Absolutely don't do it.
