Loved it!

It’s just a really great experience staying at this hotel. They have thought of a lot of little extras from free ice cream at the reception. Welcome drinks. Someone takes you to your room and shows you around. The gardens are beautiful. The buffet was delicious. And the Onsen room was.fantastic.
