My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the historic charm of the place was delightful, and I enjoyed the private hot spring experience immensely. On the other hand, some aspects really let it down, particularly the cold service I encountered at times. While everything looked unique and cozy, it felt like some improvements were necessary.
