Minamiuonuma Hakaisanson Shrine Hotels

"We tried to cancel the reservation with all or some refund due to death of a family member just a few days before our check-in day. We provided everything we have including death certificate but the facility insisted the whole prepaid fees in full are not refundable. We understand the hotel's policy but rather than show their condolences in any degrees, the hotel letting us not just suffer for lost of life and also financially lost. The hotel has lost their reputation on one of the most important value that a service business should provide to us - hospitality. "
