    源泉かけ流しの立派な温泉と美味しい料理に大満足でした!! お酒の値段がリーズナブルなところも気に入りました。 食堂には暖炉があり雰囲気がとても良かったです。冬季は雪深い場所ですが、宿を楽しむには冬に訪れるのがよいかと思います。

    施設自体は新しくはないですが、客室、お風呂、脱衣所、トイレ、廊下など、隅々まで清掃が行き届いていてとても快適でした。 70代の両親(清掃に厳しい)から、 素泊り、しかも22:30〜7:00という短時間の滞在ながら、「快適、また泊まりたい!」とのコメントが出た程です。 お風呂は温泉で24時間入れるし、 広い食堂には暖炉があったり良い雰囲気。 食事が美味しいようなので、 次は食事付きで利用したいです。
