The hotel is a bit dated, but the room is spacious and well maintained. The staff is friendly and professional. The lounge on the ground floor is open to everybody. Only some snacks and drinks but it's a good place to relax with friends.

We have a great time stay at this hotel. The front office and the check-in process went smoothly and we have met Mr. Maeda who taking care of us very well. The room was super cozy and we have best sleep after a long drive. The hotel located in the nice area next to the beach and and see Karatsu Castle from the room. We really thank you Mr. Maeda for greeting us and show us a room and even sending us back to the car. You have make this trip memorable and we will definitely back to there again !! Moreover, the hotel was provided the public bath.

I’ve been an Accor member for many years so it saddens me somewhat to say that this property really barely passes, and giving it a three star rating is me at my most generous. I think that the lobby is where most of the refurbishment money has been spent because it looks modern, like a Mercure should, but the rooms are another matter. They have not been upgraded and they looked really really old. I spent two nights there and it was a perfect storm of unfortunate events. The room has no adjustable climate control and so it was quite warm and hard for all of us to sleep. I had to borrow two fans from the front desk, and I slept on the tatami nearest to an open window, The tatami area had no power sockets so I could not charge my devices while I slept. The toilet is also small and plasticky. If you are 6 ft and over, I believe you will find it uncomfortable. While there are washers/dryers available on the second floor, I put in ten pieces of clothing and it still took 90min to get them to 90% dry (I slept at 1130pm that day) The best thing here is the service staff - always ready and willing to help. Food was also what I’d expect from Mercure, The breakfast and dinner were expansive, but there was definitely recycling of dishes from dinner to breakfast. I hope this property gets fully upgraded soon. I will still remain a loyal Accor member but the Karatsu Seaside which is across from this hotel seems to be a more tempting hotel, at this time. I didn’t take any pictures because frankly, I wasn’t too impressed (especially for the price I paid)
