My wife and I stayed in the Dog Lovers Room with our two Italian Greyhounds. Among the official hotels around Disney, this is the only one where you can stay with your dogs and also use an on-site temporary boarding facility (the Dog Cabin), which was a huge help. There is a dedicated check-in counter for guests with dogs, and we were pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary grooming services such as nail trimming, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression. The Dog Cabin feels very secure with a double-lock system (a key for the dedicated area plus a key for each individual cabin), and it was very clean thanks to regular staff patrols. We could leave them there with peace of mind during the breakfast buffet. The guest rooms are completely separated from the general floors and are spacious enough that even four people could likely stay comfortably. We also appreciated having a separate bathroom with a washing area, apart from the toilet (which is combined with the sink). Amenities were well stocked, including pet pads, wet wipes, trash bags, towels for the cabin, and a water bowl. While you can feel that parts of the building are somewhat dated, getting around can be a little confusing due to the large property and annex buildings, and dogs are not allowed to walk inside so walks need to be outside around Maihama—staff at reception, housekeeping, and restaurants were all pleasant and made our stay very comfortable. In addition to the room rate, there is an extra special cleaning fee (JPY 5,500), a pet fee (JPY 2,500 per dog), and parking (JPY 3,100), but given the peace of mind and facilities provided, we found it well worth it. We would definitely like to stay again.

Thank you for letting us stay in a Room on the 31st floor with such a wonderful view. We arrived at the Hotel at night, and unfortunately it was rainy the next morning, but we were still able to enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Kobe Port. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

This was our first stay in the detached annex called Suimeiso. The room was very spacious, and the in-room Japanese meal was exquisite with just the right portion size. The suite also had both an indoor bath and an open-air bath, so we could soak while listening to the river’s gentle flow. We were also able to use the annex-only open-air bath, and relax comfortably in the lounge. Even our 1-year-old child enjoyed it, and the staff were wonderful. We also enjoyed shopping on-site, the Pierre Hermé café, a tea café, and the library. We would love to try a different room next time.

We stayed during the summer vacation period. There were many families with children, and the pool was crowded, but we still enjoyed it. As other Reviews mention, the in-house Facilities are undeniably dated, but everything felt clean and it was a pleasant stay. There may not be many power outlets. The air conditioning wasn’t very strong, so the Room felt warm. I didn’t have high expectations for breakfast, but it exceeded them—the open-kitchen omelets were delicious, and I especially liked the chilled yuzu ramen. For those who enjoy a drink in the morning, there was also wine available, so I think you can relax. If you’re looking to have fun nearby with access to a pool included, this is a good option. We would like to stay again.

I stayed here on a business trip to visit the Mie Prefectural Government Office. At first I considered staying near the station, but many hotels there don’t have parking. This property offers free parking, and I was also interested in the private bath. They had an affordable room with breakfast included, so I chose to stay here. I accidentally drove past the parking entrance and entered from the MaxValu side. Since there is a 24-hour supermarket next door, there aren’t many restaurants nearby (unlike around the station), but you can easily buy meals next door. I had no trouble finding dinner or something sweet. The private bath was great—I could relax and really enjoyed it. You reserve it by calling the front desk, which is a nice system. Breakfast also exceeded expectations: it seems to be mainly a one-plate set plus egg-over-rice and curry, and everything was delicious. The white rice in particular was excellent. There was a poster saying it comes from contracted farmers; I think it would be even better if that were displayed more prominently. Just one thing: I didn’t realize the bread was placed further inside, so I missed it—too bad. I’d definitely stay again when I come back to Tsu City. By the way, “Shell Reine,” a Mie souvenir madeleine, is also sold at the MaxValu next door, which makes buying souvenirs convenient as well.

We stayed here with four adults—my parents and us as a couple. This was our second visit, and we were able to relax thanks to the seasonal cuisine and wide selection of drinks. Since everyone has different preferences, the all-inclusive plan made it easy for all of us to enjoy both the meals and the baths, making it a truly wonderful trip.

We stayed with four related families, including children aged 5 and 8. Thanks to the arcade and bowling, we had a great time. For the breakfast buffet, we were able to eat as a family in a separate area, which was very helpful. Although the building is old, the room was clean and we had a comfortable stay. Thank you very much.

The Hotel is located due east of Lake Suwa. The main building has windows facing north and south, while the annex (Palace Wing) has windows facing east and west. Summer fireworks go up due north of the Hotel. If you are coming for the fireworks, it seems best to book a Room on the north side of the main building; if you want lake views and sunsets, a west-facing Room in the annex is recommended. (The “Floor Plan” on the Hotel’s official website is easy to understand.) Enter from the south side of the Hotel and head east into the large parking lot in front of the Hotel (south side). Leave your luggage with a bell person and park in an available space. Check in at reception. Your luggage will be taken to your Room on a cart. The Room is clean, stylish, bright, comfortable, and recently renovated. Along the large north-facing window there is a long counter and chairs. To the left you can see Lake Suwa; to the right, beyond the Japanese Red Cross hospital building, you can view Suwa town and the northern mountains. The night view is also beautiful. There is no view from the unit bath. At showtime, lights in buildings around town dim, and fireworks rise due north for about 10 minutes. There seems to be music as well, but it cannot be heard from inside the Room. The private bath “Anzu” is a scenic bath with a large window opening to the north. The private open-air bath “Karin” faces west but is screened by fencing for privacy. Both are spacious enough, have two washing stations each, and are clean. The Chinese cuisine is refined yet easy to enjoy. Most tables are families so it stays quiet, though there may occasionally be groups drinking loudly. The breakfast buffet is also excellent. There is a long counter on the west side where you can dine facing the lake as well (first come, first served). Breakfast hours are set generously long, and estimated busy times are posted as guidance. This Review rating reflects my personal impression assuming “3” means fair value for money at this price point.

Of course, this is an evaluation relative to the price, but it was a perfect score. The twin Room was spacious, the beds were large, there was a large public bath, and the massage chairs were high-performance and free. The breakfast buffet was at a level that’s hard to believe for this price.\nDinner (a boxed meal) was poor, but it saved me the trouble of going out to eat, and the all-you-can-drink option for 1,300 yen included draft beer that was delicious. They also had chuhai and whiskey, among others, but I don’t drink much, so draft beer was enough for me.\nI would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

- The bath was large and very satisfying. - The entrance was a little hard to find. - There were many international travelers.

The Room was clean, surprisingly quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast is included, and there is a refrigerator as well as shared washing machines and an ice maker, which made it ideal for a workcation. Both the station and convenience stores are nearby, and there are plenty of places to eat in the area. A map with recommendations is also available near the front desk. I could choose to skip housekeeping, but fresh amenities were placed by my door every day. I think it would have been even better if there had been an option to decline amenity replacement as well.

Everything was satisfying—I took four baths. However, I felt a bit uncomfortable because staff frequently entered the large public bath changing room. I was disappointed when cleanup started before the final closing time. Still, I would like to stay again. Thank you for your hospitality.

I made a Reservation on IKYU.com, and it was the best Room. The hot spring water was silky and left my skin smooth. A coffee voucher was included as a complimentary service, and I’d like to make another Reservation. If you love cats, it’s even better.

The location was great, and the bed was large and very comfortable. The complimentary breakfast had a good variety of options and was very satisfying. I would like to stay here again.

Although living in Aichi Prefecture, my husband played golf with his university friends in Tsu, and since my parents' home is also in Tsu, we decided to book a hotel near Tsu Station this year instead of staying at my parents' house. We enjoyed exploring the nostalgic streets of Tsu by bike. There are many Business Hotels around Tsu Station, and since we had our car, even slightly inconvenient locations were not an issue. However, we chose this accommodation because it offered free parking, a large public bath, and breakfast service—all at a great value. Except for the front desk staff being somewhat formal without much of a smile (not rude by any means), everything about the Hotel was perfect. As my elderly parents have different daily routines now, I would definitely like to stay here again if I have another opportunity to visit Tsu in the future. My husband also mentioned that he plans to visit Mie University frequently moving forward and would consider this accommodation as his first choice for overnight business trips. Thank you very much!

I had booked for June and was really looking forward to it, but due to flight cancellations caused by a typhoon I couldn’t make it (thank you again for your very kind and thoughtful support at that time). I’m truly glad I was able to visit this October. It’s already autumn where we live, but Okinawa still felt like summer, with cicadas singing—so we could enjoy a late summer vacation. We checked in late, but because the private pool and jacuzzi were pleasantly warm even at night, we were able to relax and enjoy both at our own pace. The morning pool was also wonderful—the landscaping was beautiful, and the scent of shell ginger was so soothing. The room had a microwave, washing machine, refrigerator, and a hot/cold water dispenser, which was very convenient. We also appreciated the drip coffee provided; it would be even nicer if there were Okinawa-style tea bags such as bitter melon tea, turmeric tea, or jasmine tea. The staff were very kind as well. When we mentioned we were going to Kaichu Road, they recommended soft-serve ice cream at the Nuchima-su factory and Kafu Banta. The two-tone blue-and-white soft serve looked beautiful and tasted great with its salty flavor—and the view there was amazing. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

I stayed for two nights. The breakfast offered a great variety of delicious options, and the Room was clean. One small disappointment was that the shower curtain had a slight odor. Other than that, everything was perfect. Thank you very much. I would love to stay again.

We stayed in the Grand Corner Suite with 5 adults and 2 children (ages 4 and 0). First of all, it was very spacious, so even with large luggage it was comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Facing American Village, the view was amazing—an exceptional getaway experience. There were two bedrooms plus a sofa bed in the living room, which made it easy to separate rooms depending on our family setup and schedules. Also, since you take off your shoes at the entrance, we felt safe letting our baby crawl around (and during our stay, our baby learned to pull up to stand). The space was large and very clean, so our baby played happily with sparkling eyes the whole time. After the kids fell asleep, the adults toasted together and spent time as we liked—having drinks on the balcony while enjoying the night view and relaxing conversations. There is also a large public bath, which is great for multi-generational groups because it doesn’t feel crowded. The washer/dryer was a front-loading type and dried thoroughly, which was truly helpful. The kitchen was easy to use, and the refrigerator was large enough that we could shop for Okinawa specialties and enjoy them slowly in the room. The parking is in a multi-story garage so there can be a short wait, but it didn’t bother us. Honestly nothing to complain about—beyond satisfied. We will definitely stay again.

The room was very clean, and I had a comfortable stay. It was great that breakfast was included. There were a supermarket and a gas station nearby, which made shopping and getting around during my stay very convenient. In particular, the female front desk staff greeted me cheerfully and left a wonderful impression. It really brightened my morning. I would definitely like to stay again, and I will recommend it to my family and friends. Thank you!

I was a little worried because I had seen a Review saying it was old, but everything had been renovated and I was very satisfied! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and I left completely full. There was also a dessert buffet and ochazuke as a late-night snack, so you will definitely be full! Our Room had a wonderful view of Angel Road. The bath area was clean and relaxing. I was also happy to receive amenities for women only. Access involves walking up a hill, but it’s close to sightseeing spots and worked perfectly as a base for exploring. We also played table tennis and had a great time. I couldn’t be happier—I spent my stay feeling truly happy. Thank you very much.
