"Although the location was nice as it was close to the train station, our shower had dirt and grime all the way up the walls, and we had multiple blood looking stains on our sheets. Staff was nice. Will not be returning nor do I recommend."

"予約していた部屋にトラブルがあり、 部屋をアップグレードしていただきました。 ありがとうございます。 若いスタッフさん達でしたが、丁寧に対応して頂きました。 また、バーベキュー中に、お声を掛けて頂き、 夕日の見頃の時間を教えて頂きました。 チェックイン時に、カフェで頼んだドリンクを オーナーからですとサービスして頂きました。 犬二匹連れでしたが、妻共々気分良く宿泊できました。 テレビが無かったのとWiFiが、入らなかったのが唯一残念でした。 ペット可の部屋からは、海は見えませんが、何歩か歩けば角島大橋、海、夕日が綺麗です。 素敵な対応ありがとうございました。 また来ますね！"
