Book Hara hotels

Ok

When I reserved the Suite Room through Expedia, the check-out time for this special room was 11:00 a.m. However, when we checked-in at the facility, the from receptionist instructed us that 10:00 a.m. was the firm check-out time, no exceptions. My wife was feeling ill, so a later checkout time would have been much better. The Dinner buffet restaurant seating was extremely slow, even though we had a time reservation. Breakfast buffet seating was even worse. We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. We wanted to play table tennis, and we asked 3 different times throughout the evening; however, we were told that the tables had already been reserved all through the evening hours. Each time (4 times) that we physically checked, no one was using the table tennis tables. There were 2 tables, both unoccupied all 4 times that we checked. Terrible service!

Good

Good, compact business hotel especially for the price. Older property but well maintained and room has all the amenities you’ll need (tea, kettle, mini-fridge, slippers, toothbrush + paste, comb, q-tips, etc.). Check in lady was great & explained everything. Hotel also provides printouts explaining things in english.

Breakfast is fabulous.

There are a lot of clutter in the hotel lobby, which makes it feel messy. The hotel looks a bit old, though it is clean. I arrived at the hotel after 10 o'clock at night. When I entered the door, I couldn't see the check-in counter. I went to a counter on the right. There was a card showing “ 百名湯認定証 ”, and add water room “加湯室” was behind the counter. I was about to search everywhere I could in the hotel, when suddenly I saw a man at the far end of the left side, so I chased after him and asked if he was a hotel staff. It turned out that the checkin counter was on the left, and I turned the wrong direction and went to the right. I was indeed frightened at that time when I couldn’t see anybody. Checkin was smooth with the help of the staff. If I haven’t been to the wrong direction, everything would be fine. The breakfast is delicious, and it is a semi-self-service style. Milk, rice, miso soup, bread, tea, etc. are all available for self-service. The mountain view from the restaurant is great.
