いい意味で驚き。 普通のビジホだと思ったけど、大浴場と朝食がいいとこんなに違うのかと思った。しかも値段も大して変わらない。これなら断然スマイルホテルの方が良いと思った。 施設の古さは多少あるけど、十分清潔だし、スタッフのサービスも良い。駐車場は満車だったけど近隣に駐車場がある。 他と迷ってたら、一度泊まってみてください。

川口付近で泊まるには最適なホテル

ホテルは不可な部分がなく、ほとんどの宿泊者が安心して過ごせる環境です。 バスルームの水圧が少し弱いくらいがネガティブポイントでしょうか。 こちらのホテルの特筆すべきは、朝食です。 ビュッフェで選べるおかずの種類がとても豊富です。 泊まる際に、朝食をつけない選択肢はないとおもいます。 是非、朝ごはんをしっかり食べて出かけたいホテルです。
