"Very smooth check-in. The place was really beautiful. The location was good, too. Quick walk to the red brick area. 20 minute walk to the ropeway. We were there in June, and didn't need to use the fire place, but the smell of woodsmoke was there. During winter, you expect the smell of wood burning, for sure, but I was not expecting that in June. However it didn't bother us since it was kind of like staying at a camping site. Just wondered if this might not be great for some people sensitive to...

The star-shaped Goryokuko was a unique stop we could have explored further. And I should...

"The view from the lounge was fantastic! I enjoyed watching the cruise ships docking. The property is close to the JR train station as well as being adjacent to the morning market. Loved having a washer in the room which was very convenient for my 6 day stay. It would have been more comfortable if they could clean the room and change the bed sheets at least once every three days which is standard practice instead of once every seven days which is too long."
