Hotel Suimeikan

Close to the train station and easy to get to from there. ok price relative to the room size and hotel facilities. The hotel has karaoke free(which was last updated in 2011, but that's still ok). Dinner is rich, tasty and overall excellent. Has sauna in the public baths.

The indoor public baths were dirty(the bath itself, not the whole "room"). Breakfast was boring and not very good(in an extreme opposite to the dinner). Hotel staff was... difficult. I wanted to get a pitcher of water to my room, so i won't need to go 2 floors down and then walk the whole floor to get to the water machine. First, they started by saying it's impossible. Then told me to go speak to someone else. Who also said it's impossible and to speak to the front desk. Whom after i insisted it's not only simple it's easily doable, agreed. A water pitcher, that's it.

It is quaint, does take some getting used to for those not accustomed to shared onsens,Japanese style breakfasts etc. While the common areas are well maintained, the rooms could use some attention.

The hallways smelled if cigarette smoke.
