Negative Reviews
Issues with bath/sauna equipment
Several guests reported malfunctioning or unavailable equipment — broken saunas, non‑working jet baths, or sauna features that lacked clear instructions; one also noted uncomfortable plastic seating in the sauna.
Outdated entertainment and limited TV options
A number of reviewers mentioned old karaoke machines and limited terrestrial TV channels (NHK unavailable for some), and some suggested adding modern streaming services like Netflix or anime platforms.
Occasional housekeeping lapses or missing items
A few stays experienced cleanliness concerns (noticeable dust) or missing/sufficient drinkware (e.g., only one sink cup for three people, fewer coffee servings than expected).
Signage and wayfinding can be confusing
At least one guest found the approach signs unclear and accidentally entered a different similar hotel, suggesting entrance/signage could be easier to follow from some directions.
Limited in‑room fridge/storage space
Some guests found the mini fridge small, which makes storing multiple brought drinks or food items difficult; room configurations also varied so not all rooms had expected features like jet baths.
