I wouldn't stay here again because the walls are so thin. We heard loud noises from the room next door. They were not foreigners, they were speaking Japanese. We had to call the front desk twice, however they did quiet down after the 2nd call. The onsen is not that great because you just stare at a wall and also on one side you go outside and walk down a steep stair case. Seems like a lot of young people stay here. Pay the extra $100 and stay somewhere else if you want to have a more relaxing and quiet stay. Rooms are old and out dated. The toilet room smelled bad. However, the food was pretty good . . .actually better than I expected for the hotel. Also, they prepared the most appropriate kids's meals. Location is a 8 min. walk down one street to the Yudanaka station, however they will pick you up if you have a lot of luggage and I think they also have a shuttle bus you can take to the monkey park.
