This hotel was clean, quiet and met our needs as a family of 4. The hotel does have a charge for kids, as well as, a small daily resort fee, so be aware of that upon checkin. The staff was friendly and provided us tea and orange juice for the kids upon arroval, then accompanied us to our tatami room to answer any questions we had with an English speaking staff member. The tatami room is worth the extra cash, as it has a great view of the lake and has about 8-10 futon mattresses to lay out ( I was concerned about not sleeping well on the firm floor, but double stacked mine had a great night sleep!) To the reviewers talking about this hotel being “old”; yes it’s not the newest hotel (you won’t find that in this town anyways) but it was clean and meets the standards of a typical Japanese hotel and do agree to stay clear of the western style rooms. Stack up on food/drinks from Lawson or Family Mart ( Not a lot of food options around), get the tatami room, go the onsen/sauna and enjoy the view. You won’t be disappointed.
