"Hilton Odawara is actually located in Nebukawa, about 7-8 kilometers from Odawara Castle. It takes about 2 hours to get there by taxi from Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The hotel is halfway up the mountain, and there are no businesses or restaurants nearby, so you can only eat in the hotel. However, the hotel has many shuttle buses to Odawara and Nebukawa (a small Japanese village).
You still have to stay in a tatami room when you come to Japan, so I chose a mixed Japanese-Western style suite. The room is quite large, with a room with a Western bed and sofa, and a Japanese-style room. The suite has three balconies, all facing the sea with a great view
The executive lounge is quite large, but there is basically no one there. The drinks are not very rich, and there are few snacks
The hot spring is open from 6 am to 12 pm, the hot spring water is very good, and the hygiene is particularly good"
