Can only describe this hotel as a haunted mansion or house of horrors. Our kids called it Luigi’s mansion lol.
The smell of dust and mold was so bad that we had to check-out five minutes after check-in!! Everything about the place was horrific, the lobby was dark and dingy, the lights in the narrow hallways were out, the floors on the building were uneven, and the smell was just awful. The whole building is a health hazard and I cannot recommend anyone go near. I don’t know how the staff are able to work there.
We checked out five mins after checking in and it felt like we escaping a horror house before the zombies came out! Didn’t even stay to negotiate a refund and could not drive away fast enough.
The check-in and check-out processes were quick and easy. The hotel looks new from the outside but carpets, walls, furniture, and rooms are dated. My big room had a great view of the hills, water, and bridge. The hotel is in the small village. The breakfast and dinner included in our room rate were good and tasty. We walked on the beach after the dinner and breakfast.
The good:
Kaiseki dinners were very good and the barbecue was respectable. Staff are very friendly. The community bath is decent.
The bad:
Air conditioning in the guest rooms is quite poor, and in fact inadequate throughout hotel. Landscaping was poor on the beach side of the hotel. They should put more effort into removing weeds and maintaining the lawn. The water slide connected to the outdoor pool is too old and no longer slippery, so it serves little purpose for children. Overall, the physical condition of the facilities cannot be rated favorably. Staff in the restaurant tend to be forgetful, so you may need to repeatedly request the same thing.
