26.06.01I stayed here for one night after a fishing trip on the Ibaraki coast and really enjoyed my stay.
The hotel is definitely from the bubble era and shows its age in places, but that is part of its charm. It feels like stepping back in time, with interesting architecture, hidden rooms, a chapel, and lots of character that modern business hotels often lack.
The room was clean and comfortable, the bath facilities were excellent, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated the breakfast staff, who made me feel very welcome with their warm smiles and attentive service.
The free ramen in the evening wasn't the best meal I've ever had, but it was a nice touch and appreciated after a long day.
For the price, I thought this hotel offered excellent value. If you are looking for a modern luxury hotel, this may not be for you. If you appreciate character, good service, and a glimpse of Japan's bubble-era optimism, I would happily recommend it.
