"I am delighted that we spent 3 nights in this hotel. In fact, I would have liked to extend my stay. The room was spacious, the breakfasts were among the best I have ever eaten in my life, and the hot spring was top notch. I visit Japan every year, and this was among the best. The staff were very helpful with the automated check-in and check-out. The entire hotel is spotless, as shoes must be left at the front and even suitcase wheels are cleaned. Noodles are served in the hotel restaurant in the evening."

"For the price paid, it's quite a steal! It's very near Matsue JR Station, and provides both breakfast and dinner free of charge. Room is spacious and even comes with a sofa! (See photo) A pity that the onsen is under maintenance when I was there. Do note that the lobby and staff counter is at Level 1, while the ground level from JR Station is their "Level 2", in other words, you need to climb 2 flights of stairs down to check in. Not easy when carrying a heavy luggage."

"for the price I paid with free breakfast and dinner, really awsome! the hotel is a bit outdated but it is clean; staffs are nice! parking is 1100 yen per night I stayed here for 2 nights and foods quality are ok; we like the salad and oranges! the only thing is: the staircase from ground floor to the escalator, when I saw that I think why? but then I found out I should bring down my luggages via the garage parking as there is a door, but anyway hope in the near future, the hotel will build an escalator to replace those stairs"

"Atmosphere is amazing!! Your shoes will be stored at the locker at the lobby, going around the tatami floor of the entire building makes me feels like at home. Room and areas through out the hotel is clean and nice. Onsen is top notch. Also a free late night Ramen per night of stays was delicious. However, laundry (drying machine) instruction in english is not correct, plus most front desk personnel does not understand english, which created a bit of a run around to get things right. "
