Review summary for: 本庄バニラリゾート
Positive Reviews
Excellent value for money
Many guests praised the very low rates, calling the price remarkably good for the room size and features. Several noted weekend bargains and overall strong cost-performance for the stay.
Spacious, well-equipped rooms
Rooms were frequently described as large—some suite-like—with extras such as jacuzzi/jet bath, karaoke, a portable speaker, massage chair in some units, TV streaming services and VOD, making stays comfortable and entertaining.
Good cleanliness and ample amenities
Numerous reviewers reported clean rooms and plentiful amenities, including toiletries and available rental shampoo/beauty items. Some guests specifically highlighted tidy rooms and well-maintained bathing supplies.
Friendly, responsive staff
Staff received repeated praise for helpful and polite service—quick email responses, assistance with check-in or door issues, and good handling of lost items (including shipping them back) were mentioned.
Complimentary extras and breakfast options
Guests appreciated complimentary offerings such as free coffee (from machines), bath additives, and in some plans a morning service or breakfast. These small extras added to perceived value.
Negative Reviews
In-room remote/tech problems
Several guests experienced unresponsive remotes (TV, lighting, Netflix/YouTube/VOD) or limited functionality, which reduced convenience and required manual adjustments in some rooms.
Nature of property not obvious to all guests
Some visitors were surprised to find this is a love-hotel/hourly-style property (reception layout, in-room vending, themed signage), and felt this should be clearer on listings for guests travelling with family or expecting a traditional hotel experience.
Location and access limitations
A number of reviewers noted the hotel is relatively far from the train station with few nearby shops or restaurants; limited street lighting and an underpass at night made walking feel less comfortable without a car.
Occasional maintenance and cleanliness issues
While many found rooms clean, some reported dust, stray hairs, insects, or minor mold in baths, and several described parts of the building or corridors as showing age or needing repairs.
Practical inconveniences (stairs, locks, noise)
Issues included no lift (stairs required for heavy luggage), rooms where internal locks or doors were awkward and needed staff assistance, noisy water dispensers or ventilation at night, and limited clothing storage/hangers in some rooms.
