"I stayed for two nights. While this is just my personal opinion, I felt the price was a bit high for the facility, especially considering its location.
Firstly, the room was dim. It's possible our particular room was just long and narrow with a small window, but I felt there wasn't enough natural light for the size of the room. On top of that, the artificial lighting itself was also dim, making it difficult to do any work in the room. I didn't see any workspace outside the room either, so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone planning to do work during their stay.
Secondly, the ventilation was poor. As mentioned, the window was small, and its opening was restricted, so there was hardly any air circulation. This might not be an issue for a one-night stay, but those sensitive to air quality should be aware. It was quite disappointing, especially since we came to the mountains to refresh ourselves.
Thirdly, the sauna's location was very hard to find at first. Typically, saunas are near the washing areas and baths, but here, you have to exit the changing room, go through a separate entrance, and then down stairs to reach the sauna area. I should have checked beforehand before heading to the washing area.
What bothered me even more than these points were the inconvenient location and the small parking lot.
This hotel is located more than a 10-minute drive up a mountain road to the nearest convenience store. It takes a similar amount of time to get to other shops as well, not just convenience stores. This was much more inconvenient than I had anticipated.
Also, the parking lot is small. If you're driving a relatively large vehicle, like a minivan, you'll struggle to park."
