"Basic, very, very small room - even without luggage it is difficult to move. Nice view on the sea but only from half of the rooms - I saw only a fence. Too expensive for such room. Helpful staff."

"良かった点 ワンフロアでとても広く小さな子供が暴れてもあまり気にしなくてよかったです。 プレイルームが別部屋にあり、時間を気にせず遊べるのが最高でした。 また宿泊横に温泉があり、割引券もあったので入浴は温泉に入れるのが良い点でした。 悪かった点 建物が古い為か部屋全体がカビ臭かったでした。 臭いやアレルギーが気になる方にはちょっと。っていう感じでした。"
