Mercure (Accor) took over hotel in 2023? Tsme reviews are now dated. They have renovated some of the rooms and facilities already. More are planned. Large Onsen on B1 is both indoor and outdoor. They have a massive eating area. Star gazing, sunsets, sunrise. It’s all there.

We stayed one night and found the views in the morning spectacular. Parking was easy and free. The complimentary evening snack bar and night cap was a hit. Rooms were relatively clean, but a bit worn. Some rooms are smoking and others non smoking, so some occasional second hand smoke in the hallways. Seems like a family hotel. We did not have any meals here.

I am disappointed with my recent hotel stay. The accommodations were far below my expectations. Several aspects of the hotel fell short, impacting the quality of my visit. For example, never make up our room, not providing an extra bottle of water, a very old interior design, and not functional HVAC system. I would not recommend this particular hotel to other travelers. I hope the management takes steps to address these issues.

Too noisy in lounge though it is free, it is not a place you can relax and enjoy your stay. Room did not provide teapots, cups and tea leaves which are basic for traditional Japanese onsen. Onsen bath did not provide towels, combs etc. The worst is no one prepares the futon bed and you have to do it by yourself - never experienced in any one of onsen hotels that I stayed in the past 20 years. Highly not recommended if you are looking for experiencing a Japanese onsen, this is a fun place for children resort only.
