I found the free snacks and drinks to be a nice touch. The customer service was very good. The hotel is very close to Gora station, so visiting attractions was easy.

The carpet in common areas was in bad condition. My teen's room smelled damp. There was also a stain in our condominium carpet. The hotel felt tired and not really 4-star.

I appreciated the location. It was a short walk from Gora station. The private onsen facility was nice. There was no reservation system, so I just had to show up and hope it was available.

The layout of the hotel felt old. It was not possible to book private onsen rooms. The massage rooms are on the main walkway! It was quite noisy and hard to relax, as the hotel is very much a family hotel.
