Atami Season Hotel

It was about ten mins or so walk from the station and in a quiet area. It’s also very close to Konomiya Shrine, about 4 mins walk. The food was good and there was variety.

The layout of the property is good but the fixtures, carpet etc need to be updated. The rooms are musty and dusty. I imagine it was a great property when it just opened but it needs a facelift now. There is an Onsen but it seems to not be well maintained.

The hotel is run by old people. I am living in Japan, so I know what hospitality is. On several occasions the hotel personnel was even rude. I asked for the second key, because there were two of us and we wanted to go to onsen, but the receptionist told me “muri desu”, which is a very rough impolite response, like “no way”. I was told that only one key is given per room, which is strange. Other things are really short and early breakfast and dinners. Surprisingly, the hotel does not offer local fruit - mikan, giving instead imported semifresh grapefruit. The hotel lacks good cleaning and does not have any real plants - only plastic flowers and green covers in the installed plants pots.
