Neat hotel
Pros:

The free transfer bus to the railway station is great. You can book it and get a trip to the centre of town to access trains, buses, ferries to the islands and the ropeway.

Cons:

We were unprepared for the step-up to enter the small bathroom, but managed it ok. It might be hard to access for older folk.

Great staff and a place to begin or end a long journey
Pros:

This is a business-style hotel and very comfortable. The staff were amazing at this hotel and helped us with the baggage transfer for our next hotel as we had not used the service yet. They helped us prepare for the shimanami kaido and helped make our journey a success :)

Huge thanks to the staff at this property!

Pros:

Good size room with a fridge and kettle, and pyjamas provided. A little bit removed from the main sights of Onomichi but still within easy walking distance of the train station (JR rather than Shin-Onomichi).

Cons:

Quite a tall step to access the ensuite bathroom, something to be careful of after a shower or when needing the toilet at night.

This was a great way to begin our trip and would stay again when returning to Onomichi.
Pros:

The location was central, close to Onomichi Station, walking distance to stores, and a Lawson next to the hotel. The staff were very good. A front desk person spent a lot of time helping us get prepared for the Kaido bike ride and assisted my wife understanding the route to the bridge. The person went out and took pictures of key turns that my wife would take to drive the car to the bridge to Mukaishima. This was beyond expectations but much appreciated.

Cons:

The only thing was that the hotel felt a bit dated.

Skip this hotel
Pros:

It's clean

Cons:

1) terrible location: 20 mins walk from the local Onomichi station (not shin-Onomichi station) to the hotel, going through a row of warehouse, completely deserted at night. The last public bus is around 8pm. The last hotel provided shuttle (which only runs once per hour after 7pm) ends at 9pm
2) speaking of the hotel provided shuttle, they did not inform me that it's only by online reservations and with a weird schedule: it runs in the morning until 10:00 a.m. twice per hour, stops running between 10am and 3pm (so don't count on it if your train arrives to town at that time), then runs twice per hour from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. then
only once per hour from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
3) when I first checked into my room, before unpacking, I noticed that the mini fridge in the room makes a whining noise. I reported it to the front desk, they advised me to unplug the fridge. I ended up sleeping with earplugs!
4) not related to the hotel, but know that Onomichi restaurants close by 9pm so there's nothing to do. Also, aside from being a gateway to the inter islands cycling route shimanami kaido, it is not as scenic/beautiful as nearby historic Kurashiki, mainly because of the numerous port cranes that ruin every Onomichi scene looking out to the sea!
