"受付と宿泊場所が別館になります。 受付の対応も素晴らしく、スムーズに対応していただきました。 別館の入り口は狭く2階以降が客室になります。 内装はリノベーションされていて、とても綺麗で広く使うことができました。 浴室も少しコンパクトにはなりますが、コストから考えると十分です。 近くにコンビニなどがないため、ある程度買い物をしたあとに立ち寄るのが吉です。 ホテルから駅を挟んで向こう側にスーパーがあります。ホテルの正面向かい側の道沿いにイベントスペースや飲食店があります。 私はそこにあるTAP8という燻製料理と地ビールのお店が好きで、今回はここに宿泊しました。 またこちらに訪れるときは利用させていただこうと思います。"
