Close train station is 15 min walk. Few restaurants in the area. I arrived 9pm and not able to find some place for dinner. Universal studios are 40 to 50 min away by train 20 min by taxi.
BEWARE in general, especially of mosquitos. We had to leave the main building and transfer to a “new building” and got eaten alive on the 30-second walk over. Outside sure, I get it, but mosquitos were also in our room and we were bit while sleeping. This “new building” also looked and smelled older than the initial building we checked in at. And by the apparent blood squished into the wall, we’re not the only ones who have had the mosquito issue.
The small twin room is SMALL. Pictures do not do it justice. Overall it is old, feels icky, and is not worth the little money it cost. Mold on the shower curtains, dirty walls, the list goes on.
This was a decent stay with some good points and a few areas for improvement. The onsen was a nice feature, though it wasn’t fully operational during my visit in the middle of summer. A cold onsen would have been a fantastic addition to contrast with the hot summer weather.
The staff was very helpful and communicated everything clearly with printouts, making it easy to understand the facilities and costs despite the language barrier. However, the parking cost was quite high, which felt excessive given the somewhat remote location. It would have been much better if parking was included for guests, especially since driving is a more practical option for this area.
The decor had a charming, old-school vibe, but some areas could use updating. For example, the air conditioning was dripping water, so a bit of maintenance is needed. That said, considering the price compared to other options in the area, it was still a pretty good value overall.
I’d recommend it for business travelers who don’t mind the parking cost and are looking for a reasonably priced stay with an onsen!
