      “お湯が最高で、館内もきれい”

      トロトロのお湯である、ということに惹かれて予約しました。 ツインの部屋でしたので、前の人の口コミではかなり狭い、ということで覚悟していましたが、たまたま、ツインの中でも少しだけ広い方の部屋だったのか、とても使いやすくコンパクトでよかったです。 まだ温泉は本当にトロトロ。洗い場もたくさんあり、内湯も露天風呂も大きめでよかったです。 風呂上がりの一口ビールや、ロビーのコーヒーなどの飲み物も充実していました。 晩御飯は牛の焼き肉、ヤマメの串焼きが予想以上に美味しかったです。 旅館周辺には取り立てて何にもありませんが、館内でゆっくりできるのでいいかと。。ひとつ、ロビーのカウンターやソファのところは、くつろいで座って飲み物をいただくには寒いので、飲み物もらって部屋にもどりました。

      今回2度目の宿泊でしたがスタッフの方々皆さんが親切で、心身共にゆっくり出来ました。祖父母の家に帰った様な、ただいま感覚のあたたかいお宿です。

      “部屋にある露天風呂が・・・”

      お宿全体の印象としては、食事の味は美味しく、量も適量、部屋・建物も清潔感があり非常に満足でした。唯一残念だったのが、部屋にある露天風呂の浴槽で、位置的に高いところにあるのに、浴槽がぽつんと置いてある印象で手すりやステップが全くなく、年寄り同行でしたが怖くて利用できませんでした。浴槽の設置位置を半地下みたいなスペースに埋め込み手すりを設ける等して、お年寄りにも優しい設備だったら良かったと強く感じました。

      “半年ぶりの宿泊”

      昨年9月に宿泊した時の感動が忘れられず リピートしました。 受け付けの感じが前回よりも少し残念な感じがしました。 決して感じが悪イとは思いませんでしたが、 特別感が無かったのが残念・・・。 食事案内の方が前回は受付にいらっしゃったのですが、 この方の対応はとても気持ちが良かったです。 食事は朝も夜も本当に最高! これは前回と変わらず美味しく頂きました。 温泉の質もとても良いです。 夫婦で良い想い出が増えました。 ありがとうございました!
