スタッフ対応、食事、宿の雰囲気等どれを取っても大変良かったです。到着した際、遠方から来館したので車のフロントガラスが汚れてしまっていたのですが、スタッフの方が気を配ってくださり翌朝には綺麗になっていました。 ただ、宿泊させて頂いた部屋の雰囲気上なのか何何なのかは分かりませんが、メインの部屋にティッシュ及びゴミ箱が設置されていませんでした。洗面所には置いてありましたが、幼児との宿泊だったので身近にティッシュ等置いといて頂ければと思います。

ゆっくりと、寛げました。露天風呂付きの部屋ではなかったので、大浴場と、内風呂の両方を使いました。大浴場を出たところに、ビールサーバー🍺があり、湯上がりビールのサービスは嬉しかったです。 愛媛のお米、ひめの凛が美味しかったです。

日本の美意識を楽しむ宿
コロナ禍で道後温泉本館などが休業中だったため、部屋の中で温泉を楽しめる宿として、露天風呂付きの部屋を取りました。24時間、思い立った時に温泉に入れる環境は最高でした。しかもずっと掛け流しです。もちろん、浴槽としては特段大きなものではないのですが、お庭の設えと共に温泉を楽しめました。 また、食事は朝夕共に完全に部屋食であり、安心して楽しむことができました。質量共に素晴らしく、和食の仕事を堪能することができます。少食の方は、昼食を控えめにしておくことをお勧めします。 部屋のコンセントは少ないのですが、頼めば延長コードを持ってきてもらえますので、充電する機器が多くても安心です。また、部屋の明かりはかなり控えめですが、日本の美意識の表れ、雰囲気を楽しむものと受け取りました。 ワイワイと大人数で宴会を楽しむような宿ではありませんが、ご夫婦やお一人で静けさ、日本文化を楽しめる宿だと思います。
