We were in a standard double room with our son. We were just looking for a cheap place to stay since we weren't planning on spending much time at the hotel/inn and the price here was definitely good. The rooms were clean and housekeeping service was good. The AC worked which was great. We didn't always have hot water but taking a cold shower was actually better since it's so hot outside. The beds/pillow were OK - they weren't that comfortable but can't expect much at that price. The breakfast was nice, served daily from 7-9am. No free hot springs are included with this hotel where some other cheap hotel/hostels do include one free trip to the hot springs. They only provide a free shuttle to the free hot springs once daily around 1pm. Overall, for a family trip or a budget traveler, this place was good!
