The air conditioner was switched off during our stay, not because any issue but on the hotel choice. I find quite dishonest that the room is still advertised as having air con for reservations during the dates that the management knows it isn't going to work.

On the first morning we easily pu...

The onsen and relaxation facilities were a real bonus after a fu...
