Hakone Kowakien TEN-YU
Clean room, love the private onsen, breakfast buffet was amazing, endless ice cream was so fun! It was a little tricky to get to on the bus- the schedule is a little different on Sundays (Google Maps was wrong). But we got there and loved it!

Prince Smart Inn Atami
Small but tasty breakfast, good sized and newer room, nice check in staff. Hotel room floors aren’t dirty but could use a deep clean, especially below the toilet.
