At first we were hesitant about the quality of the hotel because there were not many reviews on trip.com. Later, we decided to stay at this hotel after seeing many good reviews on Google and Japan Hotel Reservation Network. The staff are very kind and friendly, the room is comfortable and there is a private bath. Because we checked in on Christmas Day, the hotel also arranged a bingo game, and every participating guest also received a gift, which was very happy! We chose a room with two meals, and they also got a big chicken spleen for Christmas, which was very filling and satisfying! ! A very unforgettable experience. The room is as good as the picture. I will choose this hotel next time I come to Shirahama! The quality of one stay and two meals is also very high! The bear bison and abalone are really delicious.

Overall, I was extremely pleased with the hotel. It's essentially a one-stop shop for food and beverages. Breakfast and dinner menus changed daily, and they offered afternoon tea, complimentary ramen available after 10 PM, a wide variety of snacks, and an all-you-can-eat minibar in the room. There was no need to even leave the premises to fully enjoy our stay. We timed it right to get the private hot spring key and enjoyed a relaxing soak in the private bath. The natural spring water truly makes a difference! My only minor suggestion would be for a more complete sea view from the room. The room we were assigned this time had a slightly obstructed view, and I hope on our next visit we can be allocated a room with a truly panoramic sea view.

Despite a three-night stay, I definitely wouldn't recommend this hotel! Let me be clear about some major drawbacks: First, there's the steep uphill path leading directly to the hotel. Don't tell me taking a taxi solves the problem. While you *might* be able to catch a taxi to and from the hotel or main attractions (if one is available), getting to the beach, Lawson (convenience store), or any restaurants means you absolutely have to walk up and down this very steep and challenging slope. Had I known about this significant inconvenience in advance, I absolutely would not have booked here. As previous guests have noted, the room had a distinct, unpleasant odor, almost like salted fish – I guess we can just pretend it's a seafood hub. On top of that, there were urine stains on the toilet bowl. Despite them knowing we were checking in with children, no children's amenities were provided. You might wonder why I didn't just ask the **front desk**? Well, that leads to another huge point of frustration. The front desk staff's efficiency is absolutely abysmal, and communication was practically impossible, even with translation software. When I inquired about children's toothbrushes, their baffling response was, 'I booked children to stay, so I can't refund the children's money to me.' After going back and forth with them to no avail, I gave up and ended up having to buy toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers for the kids myself. The room's soundproofing was incredibly poor. Children yelling was the least of our concerns; we could clearly hear people walking around upstairs and even the creaking of hinges when neighbors closed their doors. The pool was crowded, chaotic, and most importantly, quite dirty, with sand clearly visible at the bottom. To be frank, while I haven't stayed at a vast number of Marriott hotels, I've certainly experienced a few. This, however, was by far the worst Marriott I've ever encountered, which is particularly shocking given that it's in Japan, a country celebrated for its meticulous standards.

The highlight of this hotel will be the seaview onsen. It’s huge with 3 floors. Service is very welcoming. The lobby, lounge area and restaurant are all very bright, modern and stylish. The rooms are however like entering a different world from 30 years ago, which definitely needs a major lift. The stains on the brown colored carpet are very eye catching. The beds are comfortable. We tried both the breakfast and dinner buffet, I suggest you may try to eat outside unless you really want to stay in the hotel for the rest of the day.

While the hotel has a charming vintage feel, it's impeccably maintained, exuding a refined elegance. A bus stop right outside offers easy access to various attractions, and we could even walk to Engetsuto Island, which made getting around incredibly stress-free. Both breakfast and dinner offered a rich and diverse selection of dishes, perfectly satisfying our palates. The onsen (hot spring) experience was an unexpected delight; going in the early morning felt like having the entire place to ourselves, offering a serene and truly relaxing escape. The hotel also offers private family onsen baths available for reservation (for a fee), lasting 45 minutes per session. This was an absolutely perfect choice for those of us who prefer to avoid crowds. The Shirahama Station Onsen Association occasionally runs a free shuttle bus, though it seems there are only two departures in the afternoon, and they leave as soon as they're full. If you plan to use it, I recommend checking the Onsen Association website in advance. Overall, this stay far exceeded our expectations.

Close to Bus stop, Lawson and many restaurant nearby. Staff are very nice and helpful. Room is fairly clean but it smells like its not yet been used for a while, old and not eough air flow. Even the air freshener machine cant help. Also, there is no lift to annex building, be aware if you carry large suitcase.

Very good, superb visual sense, unbeatable sea view, the hot spring is also very good, very comfortable indoors and outdoors 👍🏻 There are many varieties of breakfast, and the variety of fruits is surprising, fresh and delicious!

The hot spring is very good, the room is consistent with the picture, the service items are introduced in detail, there is a private bath but no public bath. The beach is opposite the hotel🏖️

Very good. The service of the store is very good. The front desk can speak Chinese. The people are super gentle. The sea view is worth it. It is very beautiful. It is very comfortable to soak in a hot spring after a day of shopping. Recommended! (The room is a bit big and may be a bit cold. Then my friend and I are not used to the Japanese breakfast. But it is still very convenient and comfortable to eat in the morning. It depends on your opinion.
