The Gran Resort Elegante Atami

The hotel is on the side of a very steep mountain. Driving and parking are very inconvenient. It is quite a distance from the business district at the foot of the mountain. The steep stairs going up the mountain are very difficult at night. There is no bathroom in the hotel room, so you need to go to the public bathroom. There are many ants in the tatami corner. The elevator only goes to the lower floors. If you live on the upper floors, you need to carry your luggage and climb the stairs. The two Indian waiters at the front desk had poor English skills and could only barely communicate. The advantages are that there is plenty of sunshine on the terrace, the Internet speed provided by the hotel is good, and the laundry room is clean and hygienic.

First of all, the location of the hotel is very abstract. It is located halfway up the mountain. You either have to climb the steep mountain road for 15 minutes and get there, or you can take a taxi at Atami Station for 680 yen. Secondly, the hotel's additional charges are extremely distorted and unreasonable. The double room is 733 RMB, and the single room is 533 RMB. If you add one more person to the single room, you need to charge 10,270 yen as additional charges, which is equivalent to more than 500 RMB. How is this calculated? I would like to ask? There is no difference between the single room and the double room. The pillows and quilts are placed in the storage room in the room. You need to add 500 RMB to use them. It's incredible. Then there is the bathing charge. I can only say that the countryside is the countryside, and there are really many village rules. It's okay to charge you 150 yen per person for a bath, and it's okay to be a public bath, but there is also a set bathing time. You are required to take a bath before 23:00 at night. It's confusing. Are you teaching me how to do things? Then when it comes to check-in and check-out, you can only check in between 4pm and 9pm, and the latest check-out time in the morning is 10:56am. This is another confusing rule. The front desk girl was even more abstract. She couldn't explain it herself. Even when I pulled her old supervisor out, she still couldn't explain why the additional fee was so high. I'm really impressed by these rural hotels. The good thing about this place is that the scenery is really nice, but that's it. I don't recommend it to people other than those with masochistic tendencies.

The room facilities are relatively old but fortunately they are relatively clean. The scenery is nice but the hotel is halfway up the mountain. Transportation is not very convenient. You have to walk everywhere.
