It's a bit far from the station, there are few restaurants around, there's only one elevator so you have to wait during busy times, the breakfast can't be said to have much variety, and the bathtub is not very spacious.　Not too bad,not good.

部屋がとても広くて使いやすかったです。一点あげるとすれば、駐車場の場所を事前に教えていただけると更に良かったです。事前に車で行くことは伝えていたので、その程度のサービスは欲しかったです。晴れていたから良かったですが、この行ったり来たりのやりとりは、雨など天候不良だとかなり大変になるのかなと思いました。駐車場が遠いので尚更事前連絡が欲しいところです。

가성비로 따지면 좋은 호텔입니다 다만 문이 철제라서 그런지 방음이 약한 건 조금 아쉽네요 900엔 조식 뷔페는 퀄리티가 좋았습니다 다음에 또 우츠노미야를 가게 된다면 꼭 다시 머물고 싶습니다.
