朝食だけ、不満を感じました。何といっても、「揚げ物が多過ぎ」です。朝からこんなに揚げ物を普段食べないので、正直きつかったです。記憶しているだけでも、白身魚フライ、シシャモフライ、舞茸フライ、コロッケ、唐揚げなど多数。逆に、カレーとか煮込みハンバーグとかの変化が欲しかった。1500円の金額相応かと問われれば、そうでは無いと答えると思います。改善希望。

フロントの男性スタッフがまったく笑顔なく、やる気のない対応だった。質問しても無視され、隣の女性スタッフが回答するような有様だった。 部屋のベッドはなかなか良かった。また、大浴場とサウナの利用があるのもよい。しかしながら、大浴場とサウナの利用が無料なのは1回のみで(2回目は有料)中学生以下は利用不可、土日祝日は20時30分までに入館する必要があり、21時には出る必要があるのは大きな不満。駐車場も立体駐車場なので出し入れに時間がかかり面倒。 西院駅に近く、1階にコンビニがあり、周辺に飲食店が多いことは良い点だが、フロントの応対や大浴場などの制限がとても残念だった。
