Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 292 reviews
A 3-star hotel right on Shimoda's beach in Izu, Japan. Guests frequently mention the ocean view and all-you-can-drink alcohol included in the inexpensive buffet meals.
Reviews across sites praise the 'picturesque sea view from rooms', 'new tatami mats, and good soundproofing'. Dinner buffet offers variety with unlimited drinks, earning high satisfaction. Two outdoor baths switch between men and women by time slot.
However, the remote beach location is inconvenient without a car, with limited shuttle service. Some note smoking smells in rooms, shower cleanliness issues, and check-in reservation errors. Building feels dated.
Popular with families, seniors, and solo travelers for a quiet rest.
