cold roomunusual bathroom
The allocated room was quite disappointing. it was situated in the annex, and the temperature was uncomfortably cold. the bathroom had an unusual design. It functioned as a wet room, but the bath drained into the area next to the toilet. this design meant i risked getting my feet wet each time i used the toilet. the room configuration needs reconsideration.

The futon beds in the Japanese-Style Standard Room Main building Non-Smoking were surprisingly comfortable! The breakfast buffet offered BOTH western and Japanese delicacies. I also used a discount coupon in the hotel shop.
The hotel is a fifteen minute walk from the station, and I had luggage.
