小さい子供連れでの1泊でした。チェックインの時間15:00に着いたのですが部屋の清掃がすんでいなくて1時間ほど待たされました。ラウンジがあってウェルカムドリンクが提供されていましたが1時間の待ち時間は少し長すぎると思いました。お風呂は綺麗で快適、朝ごはんのビュッフェも美味しかったです。少し奥まったところにあるので館内にコンビニか軽食を買えるところがあると良いと思いました。近くに食べ物を買うところもなくひとり七千円のビュッフェの夕食しかなくて少し困りました。結局は国道を歩いてイタリアンレストランに行きピザをテイクアウトしました。次はきっと泊まらないと思います。

Nice resort facilities
Unfortunately I was stuck with a smoking room, which smelled..well as you'd expect. Ignoring that, it was clean and comfortable. The room was decently spacious given the price. Faciltiies were good as it is a resort hotel. Being Urabandai, they aren't that ready for international tourists so some basic Japanese would go a long way.

An OK place to stay, safe and clean but dated
Overall the stay was ok. They had free hot tea which was great when it was so cold out, but the room was very dated. Also, (just FYI) the hotel staff doesn't speak much English and you need a dinner reservation if you want to eat at the hotel- becides a little restaurant near the back of the hotel (which was good!)

到着早々のチェックインの要領の悪さに驚きました。 カウンターは3箇所、行列は2列。片方の列は2箇所のカウンターで対応しているのに、もう一方の列は1箇所のカウンターでしか対応していないのに長時間並ばされる上にスタッフからのフォローもなし。痺れを切らし何人かのお客さんが改善を申し入れましたが中々聞き入れてもらえず、ようやく聞き入れてもらえたらスタッフからは「互い違いに1列になってください」とのひと言だけ。お客さんも戸惑いながら並び直していました。 その後の大きな不満はありませんでしたが、このインパクトが大きかったです。

料金がリーズナブルにも関わらず、食事や飲み物、酒類の種類が豊富でとても満足しました。夏休み中もあってか、毎日満室との事で、チェックイン時間までに掃除が間に合ってないとの事で、チェックイン時にフロントに長い列が出来ていてどの方も手続き後部屋に案内されるまで40-50分程待っていた。スタッフ不足状態が感じられた。 改善されるともっと満足度が上がると思いました。
