"This was an awesome semi traditional ryokan experience. I will drop me style room was exactly what we were looking for to break up other more western hotels stays.
We booked breakfast but not dinner as we wanted to explore the local areas as well. Breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast and as I asked in advance for a vegetarian version they accommodated extremely well and we thoroughly enjoyed a hearty breakfast.
While the property itself is a little rundown, the service was amazing, the room was spotless, and the private hot tub was an added luxury.
They also had a shuttle bus to and from the station on command, which proved extremely helpful & professional.
The one negative was that you had to pay an onsen tax on site at checkin separate to the bill already paid. I thought this was quite cheeky given that it’s an onsen hotel and that’s the whole point of coming… there is also no choice - whether you use it or not, you have to pay the tax (only small but principly we were a bit miffed). Also note that if you have tattoos, you can only use the public bath if you have tattoo coverings. I strongly suggest you purchase these from somewhere else instead of purchasing them at the gift centre as they only have one size and one colour."
"Vessel Inns really growing on me. Rooms are usually bigger than most standard Japanese biz hotels with free 'proper' coffee in the lobby an added bonus. Breakfast at the downstairs bakery also good."
"Bedroom and washroom were spacious, clean and looked new. Amenities were great. The hotel has a wide range of facilities, including a planetarium, which we really enjoyed. We had a great time. "
"It's a great location away from the busy life of the city. The lake is crystal clear and great to swim in though we did not see other swimmers. The rooms are small, yet suffice. I'll probably come back again. "
