"複数家族で利用しました。一棟貸しとのことで、急な人数変更でも料金の変更がないので安心して予約できました。またオープンな環境に見えてプライバシーが守られているので、ホテルなどで雑魚寝するよりよっぽど睡眠の質はあがります。 各スペースにコンセントがあるのもかなり助かりました。洗面3つ、シャワールーム2つ、男女混合の14名で利用させていただきましたが申し分ない設備でした。駅やコンビニ、パーキング、大型スーパー、飲食店等も近くにありました。人数も多かった為Wi-Fiが繋がりにくい時がありましたが、ボードゲームなども充実しておりデジタルデトックスできたので逆に良かったです。また是非利用したいです！"
