Hotel is very old but room was big and comfortable with a beautiful view of the lake. Staff was polite and helpful. Satisfactory breakfast.

Rooms and furniture need an update.

Very spacious room with a nice big window and view. Cool showa-era style room

Totally worn down. It could be a great Hotel, but I honestly guess it wasn't renovated since the 70s. Hallway feels like a psyche-ward. I guess all rooms are smoking rooms. Everything yellowed and dirty from cigarret smoke and old age. Hairs in the sink, encrusted dirt in the bathtub. Wallpaper peeling everywhere.

Building was in a great location, near pretty much everything fun, and the room had a great view. Breakfast was great too! The staff and service was great. I felt very welcomed to be there, and enjoyed the staff friendly atmosphere.

The building was old, it was not very clean. I really enjoyed the staff, the area, the front desk staff. With such great staff, and a great area, I was a little sad that the building did not allocate enough resources to having a cleaner building. The outside windows were covered in spider webs and overgrowth. Also, the room smelled like someone had smoked in it. I don't know if there is a smoking and non smoking room selection. This won't deter me from staying again. Because I enjoyed this place so much.

Front desk staff were very polite and the shower was powerful

The places a bit like a prison. It probably hasn’t been redecorated in over 10 years. Everything about it is dated and dirty.
