Cleanliness
9
Multiple reviews note rooms and public areas are very clean and modern; guests repeatedly describe rooms as spotless and well maintained.
Service
8.8
Staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful and attentive (room upgrades mentioned); one note implied minor inconsistencies ('most of the staff was nice'), hence a slight deduction.
Location
9
Excellent for Shimanami Kaido cyclists and very close to Imabari JR station; convenient for restaurants, parking and local sites — repeatedly praised in reviews.
Room Quality
8
Rooms are modern and comfortable but several guests mention limited space (18 m2), tight when bringing bikes and small double bed for children, so quality is good but constrained by size.
Amenities
9
Strong amenities: onsen/public bath, sauna, bike racks, free drink bar and even complimentary draft beer; laundry available though one report mentioned washing machines not cleaning properly.
Value for Money
8.3
Many guests call it great value or affordable, but at least one review felt it was expensive for what it offered, so overall value is positive but slightly mixed.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Breakfast is repeatedly praised (buffet variety, tasty) and complimentary drinks/beer are appreciated; overall strong F&B impressions from multiple guests.
Overall Experience
8.7
Overall very positive — many guests describe a wonderful stay, especially for cyclists and those seeking onsen/relaxation; a few minor issues kept the score just below top marks.

Great stay after Shimano Kaido!
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean. Staff were helpful when we needed extra pillows. Well located if you need to drop off your rental bicycles after your Shimanami Kaido ride - 5min walk away. Onsen was small but well appointed. Will return to stay after our next bicycle trip.

Cons:

Generally all good. Breakfast was a little basic but adequate.

Pros:

The hotel is new, facilities are modern and clean.

Cons:

My family of 5 was split into two rooms which i did understand when booking it as there are no large rooms, however the double room was tiny! Not enough space to open a suitcase, small rooms are common in Japan but this was alot smaller then we had in other place, it was manageable for 1 night but would have been hard for an extended stay.

Onsen facilities on site looked incredible but i did not use them as there was a lack in guidenance for a oversea visited like myself who has never used an onsen. Maybe a information card in each room with further instruction on onsen use would be helpful as i did not want to offend or distrub the locals using the onsen

Pros:

We liked the breakfast selection, a good mix of Japanese ingredients. Also the welcome drinks. The hotel was in walkable distance from the station.

Cons:

The room was very cramped and one side of the bed was against the wall which made it hard for the other person to get up during the night.
