I came with little expectations, but was really pleased with this hotel. The outdoor onsen is really nice. The corridor is a bit noisy when someone walks by. Some dust and spider webs in the top shelfs but nothing really bad

娘、孫の3世代で2泊利用させて頂きました。 上高地を始め長野の観光するにはとても良いところにあって、都内は猛暑日なのに、エアコン要らずの立地でした！ 老朽化は否めませんが、気にならない位の手入れが行き届いて、インテリアが素敵でした。

施設も清潔で趣もあって良かったし、スタッフの方もとっても感じ良かったので満足しました。 しかし、3組しか泊まっていないのに、3室隣り合わせで入れられてしまったのが残念でした。 一つおきにするとかしてもらえたら良かったなぁ。
