整體都蠻不錯的。飯店的人員也都很親切。 溫泉的話偏燙，不喜歡太燙的溫泉的人可能會有點可惜。

和風モダンの部屋だったのですが畳の上にベッド置いただけでベッドも小さくあまり寝られなかった。風呂はいいのですが、値段に合っていないと思いました。食事は普通に美味しいです。

当日は雨降りでした。 雪害防止のためと思われますが、屋根に雨樋がついていないため、泊まった部屋の窓の外に玄関の金属屋根があるため、そこに垂れた雨音が一晩中気になったのが残念でした。雫が落ちる部分に音消しの何か対策されていたらよかった。 趣や食事、接客など申し分なかった事から余計勿体無いと思いました。

酒店非常近藏王吊車，走路約5分鐘。 有專車接送來往藏王溫泉街或公交站。 溫泉十分舒適但需走一段室外的路。 前台工作人員十分友善。

服務非常非常好，很親切。 旅館造景精細，值得好好欣賞。 晚餐與隔日早餐豐盛，小胃的人就可惜啦～～～
