Pros. A little outadated but overall good! Comfy bed and clean room!

Cons. It was a bit far from Nara park. I was not allowed to use the spa because I have tattoos, which is common in Japan. It would be good if it was listed as an onsen online instead of as a spa so that it is more clear to travelers that may also have toattoos and cannot participate
