Kominato 3 Stars Hotels

"The room was spacious and had a beautiful view of the ocean! The staff was also very kind. The room was tidy and had all the necessary amenities and more! I did have a bit of issue is with cleanliness of the building. The building seemed to be a bit old and I wonder if maybe that's what could have affected the cleanliness? The walls in our room seemed to have built up dust which caused my sister to get a bit sick unfortunately. And the armrests on the couch seemed to have some tears on them. The beds were also pretty hard so it felt pretty uncomfortable at night. I think it would need a bit of a deep clean and replacement of furniture (or maybe it needs fixing if possible?) Other than that, the hotel was pretty conveniently located and although it's old and needs a bit of maintenance, the aged decorating gives it a unique character which I really liked."

"The property and staff were great, the issue was that the walls are rhin and kids running around and shouting late in the middle of the night was an issue. I went during march so it wasn't too busy, i would assume it would be even worse during the summer time. The public bath house ,views food, rooms were all great"

"Welcome drink machine at reception area was bonus point, we keep coming back after swimming and dinner. Do not forget your swimsuit, otherwise you will deeply regret to miss indoor swimming pool & spa experience. Delicious Buffet dinner on top of that, they provide free alcohol as well ! Top floor Onsen hit springs were so relaxing ,and the moment of sunset was breathtaking. and they provide so many variety of hair care goods, shampoo and conditioner, therefore I ended up wash my hair several times !"

"This hotel is of incredible value! We stayed here for a surfing trip at Taito beach and watching the pros at the Olympic beach nearby. The elderly woman at the counter who checked us in, was so cute and kind. I guess this was a converted love hotel (similar to a motel in North America). So the room was insanely huge for Japanese standards, and ridiculously cheap (at the time, we paid about 7000 yen for 1 night). If we go back to Chiba for another surfing trip, we'll definitely stay there again!"

"As a foreigner with very little understanding of Japanese, I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful the staff were in communicating with us. The counter staff used voice to text translators to translate their Japanese to English. As we arrived directly from the airport, we were too early to check-in, but Tamura-san was very helpful in telling us about their day bath and buffet lunch package for us to spend the time. The onsen was very clean, and the accommodations were comfortable. Higu-san was exceptionally helpful on our last day, as she went the extra mile to help us call a cab to the Kimitsu highway bus station when our taxi apps failed to get us a booking. She helped us load the luggage on the cab, and even sent us off with a snack! For tourists like me who cannot speak Japanese, their support and kindness was immensely invaluable. Thank you Ooeda Onsen Mongatari (Kimitsu no mori) staff!"
