It's convenient to have free shuttle to and from the station. Even it's out of the shuttle bus service hours, we could hop on a taxi and travel to amd from station for free. Staff members are kind and helpful. The dinner and breakfast were enjoyable. Highlight was the onsen which was relaxing. The room was quiet and neat. Value for money. Would recommend the hotel.
