"The best thing about this hotel is the breakfast which features local dishes. Kome eice is great. And as long as they serve small bowl of soup with Hinai Jidori meatballs, side dish of tonburi and cut nagaimo, I'll always choose this hotel. Staff are always nice and kind. A bit of local dialect that they speak also helps relax my mind. I appreciate the kind service and wonderful time while staying there. Arigato!"

10/10 Excellent
"This is the third Hoshino Resort experience. Expectation was there given the price point this chain is charging compared to other chains. Hoshino always attempts to impress with its settings, however, the garden pool does not show as advertised this time (not certain if they only have the floating lanterns or what during certain season). Regardless, staff are polite and courteous and I found that this time has a major improvement over the cleaning staff (although the property is a bit aged but still managed to keep the condition inside our room). Condensation is a concern in air-conditioned building across Japan, so maintenance staff needs to really check the top floor (where we stayed) for mould build-up by the elevator."
