Compare Cheap Hotels in Hirao

"Room was clean but random hairs left behind. I traveled with spouse and 8 year old child. When I asked for a towel, there was a 100 yen charge so I declined and we shared a towel. When I parked there was no explanation of the charges or how it worked. Very limited English. It’s okay that I had to pay but to call my room at 2200 to have me come down and pay was inconvenient and inconsiderate. If explained, then that could have been arranged during check-in. The room was small for 3 persons and the bed was hard. When they cleaned the room it was left with more random hairs and the bed made but cups were left uncleaned. For a normal hotel service usually those are cleaned being that there are no dish soap in the room or dish cloths. The breakfast was subpar we did not eat it as it was not appealing. The best part of our room was the bathroom. Water was hot and my child enjoyed the bath. When we asked for another pillow a blanket they tried to charge for that as well. Check out was simple however at 1000. We asked for 1100. Came down at 1030 and charged 1000 yen. "

"Very small, but it was a great facility. Able to walk to the 7-Eleven and market get what I needed. Laundry was super easy to use. Would definitely stay again"

"Perfect size room for my stay. Public bath was good with the massage chair. It helped as I have tattoos so was not able to get into bath but the chair was a life saver to for relaxation. Only thing that I had issues with was stay cool enough when I slept due to the unit blowing hot air and not cool."

"Very close to JR station. Many good food choices around the hotel. "

"**The positives: *It was an easy stay, with low-stress check-in and check-out, no 'vacate the room so we can clean,' and a vending machine and shelves of manga on the first floor. *I was able to open the window far enough to stick my head out and get a breath of fresh air, which was nice. *The coin laundry machines got the job done: 2.5hrs, 600 yen, clean and dry clothes.👍 **Neutral: *There was construction going on, but aside from a bit of occasional noise during the day, it was a non-factor. **The negatives: *When I arrived, the room had some REALLY dusty spots, like behind the TV and on top of the mini-fridge. As in, 'years and years of accumulated dust.' I get that those places aren't often looked at by customers, but how hard is to clean them once every few months? c'mon now. *The room and the bathroom felt pretty dated, but everything worked, I suppose. *The bathroom had some mold/mildew along the grout, although a bit of airing out the room helped that a lot. You might try that: Open the window and the door at the same time for 5-10 minutes while you're cleaning it. (...which seemed to be something you haven't done any time lately.) *The laundry room wasn't just dusty....it was kinda filthy. ugh. Someone clean those carpets, please."

"This was by far the nicest room/resort we have stayed in. After being cramped in many Japanese hotels and ryokans, this was much much larger with three queen/full size beds, a 65" TV and an outdoor bath (mineral salts available in the lobby). However, please understand that as this location is very remote, dining options in the area and transportation may be limited. This may be why we didn't see any foreigners there? However, they do provide pick-up service to and from the Shin-Iwakuni station depending on the room you're staying in given you contact them at least three days in advance. Although our Shinkansen was unexpectedly delayed by two hours due to rain/lightning, they patiently waited for our arrival and did not leave us stranded. Perhaps the only downside was that we only stayed two nights as I felt we could've done with some more downtime and taking advantage of the amenities including the bikes and SUPs. I hope to return again soon, staying for a longer time next time. Thank you Marissa Resort for giving us an incredible and memorable vacation!"
