Clerks are all very nice, and they have shuttle buses to the JR station. However, foreign tourists with tattoos should note that they cannot use public bathroom, but they will still be charged the service fee of it.

The hotel was very spacious, with the floors and walls of the corridors decorated with beautiful stones, and many vases and paintings on display, giving it a luxurious impression. We enjoyed the banquet meals in the large hall, the large public bath, the game corner, the snacks, and the 17 ice cream vending machine, all typical of a Japanese Showa retro tourist hotel. The female staff in the restaurant were energetic and kind. The only disappointments were the horrible dirtiness of the air conditioner in the room and the female check-in staff member who was in a bad mood. She stood out because all the other staff were smiling.

West Wing 508. It's the epitome of the Showa era. The lady showing us to the room was walking slowly with my brother holding my elderly mother's hand, but she didn't look back and walked a few meters ahead. The door opens inwards so two people can't enter at the same time. The balcony railing is rusty and has dirty spider webs. There are no cups or mattresses in the sink, just one futon. We took them out of the closet and stacked them. It's more comfortable to sleep at home. The water in the toilet is at max, about the temperature of a pencil. The Hiei hot springs are good. Good food and good pillows. You can hear the neighbors a little at night. It was a big difference from Kyo Omi where we stayed a few years ago, but my mother was happy with it.

夫婦で温泉宿を楽しんでおります。大阪からの帰り道に宿泊させて頂きました。5ツ星の宿でグランドホテルと言う名の大型ホテルなので期待はしていませんでしたが、予想以上にお料理は口に合いませんでした。先付けは佃煮のような物、焼き魚や蒸し寿司に乗っている魚は生臭くて食べれませんでした。旅館一押しのコースと書かれていましたのですが、選んだお料理は私達には今まで訪れた温泉宿のお料理でワースト3に入ります。お部屋はお掃除も行き届き浴衣や寝具も湿気なく気持ちよく過ごせました。大浴場も問題はなしです。関西圏の温泉なのでお料理は改善してほしいです。
