Kamenoi Hotel Atami Annex

Everything—the Room, baths, lobby, and more—has been renovated, and it was clean and very pleasant.Compared with the main building, it was quieter with a calm atmosphere.The bath at the back had three pot-style tubs, so I could soak alone and relax.However, I was bothered by an odor coming from the drain in the washing area.In the semi-open-air bath, if you stand up you may be visible from a nearby balcony window of Nakagin,so if that concerns you, it may be better not to stand up.All of the baths have handrails,which made it very nice because I could bathe even with mobility issues.All of the meals were delicious.Dinner was beautifully presented, and I could enjoy a relaxed mealwhile taking in the wonderful view from the window.As for service, the driver on the bus ride there was a little intimidating, but everyone else was excellent.They saw us off for our return bus with smiles and waves.It was disappointing that the Room was hot and uncomfortable to sleep in, but I would like to visit again.

We had a wonderful time.The Room was very clean, and the meals were so plentiful that we couldn’t finish everything, which was very satisfying. The simmered spiny lobster in the special kaiseki course was especially delicious, and our whole family enjoyed it. The only disappointment was that the Onsen didn’t have a bubbling feel or seem to flow up naturally; it felt like still, filled water.
