I have stayed at this property several times, although it is showing its age, it doesn't take away all the other benefits the property has to offer. The breakfast buffet was great. I also like that they have an onsen and self-service laundry. I don't know when they took away the free beer after the onsen, and the train station free-shuttle service. All in all, it's still very good value for the money (also, book a larger room if you can, because the regular rooms are really very small)
