The room, bath, and toilet were all very clean and my stay was very comfortable.
The accommodation was as expected. The same care was given before, especially to the cleanliness of the room and the facilities. It was a really relaxing stay. I will bring my grandchildren next time. To all the staff, thank you for always doing your best and with pride at this wonderful “Hana no Yu”.
