環境乾淨舒適,職員有禮。溫泉小巧但乾淨,遇上人多時會比較擠迫。期待下次有更多時間可享用旅館早餐及設施。

素泊り→朝食オプションで

ダイハツの保養所として運営されている施設ですが、一般客も利用できたので、お邪魔してきました。 おもてなしサービスという点ではあまり期待はできません。ビジネスホテルのようにお客は勝手に来てのんびり過ごすっていう感じです。ただし、ホテルのスタッフの皆さんはとても親切で、並のホテルよりも感じは良かったです。 最近改装されたようで、派手さはないものの、館内はエントランスから清潔で過ごしやすい空間になっていました。期間限定のウェルカムドリンクサービスがとてもありがたかったです。ぜひ、今後も続けてほしい。 お風呂は浴槽が2つとシンプルですが、金の湯、銀の湯の双方が楽しめ、露天が金、内湯が銀でした。泉質はよく、カルキ臭もないので、まったりとリラックスして癒されました。 レクリエーションとしてカラオケ、麻雀卓、卓球台、漫画(主にジャンプ系の有名どころが多い)、貸し出しのボードゲームなど。あとはマッサージチェアが無料で使える、プールがある、など。巣ごもりで過ごすのにちょうどよい施設だと感じました。 周辺に飲食店やコンビニは無く、繁華街まで歩ける距離ですが、傾斜のきつい坂があるので、小さい子供連れやお年寄りは厳しいですね。 チェックイン時に朝食を付けてもらったのですが、朝食ビュッフェの料金が子供も大人と同額だった点だけ、宿泊体験としては星マイナス2くらいのショックでしたが(朝食そのものも3000円弱払うほどの内容でもないので)、それ以外は総じて満足いくものでした。繁華街で美味しい朝食食べられる店が見つかったら、リピートするかな、と思います。もしくは、子供料金は半額にしてー…涙
