Hotellit uima-altaalla - Shiono Onsen, Kusatsu

"Extravagant and pompous. Despite being relatively modern, the hotel feels dated due to perhaps some desire for old times luxyry. Huge in size and very crowded. The room was literally minutes away from the front desk. Superior twin room was spacious for local standards and impeccably clean. Breakfest buffet seems to favor quantity of varieties over quality. We did like the cat-robot collecting used dishes though. Restaurants appear hugely overpriced concidering the alternatives in the vicinity. The location is very convenient for all purposes however. Would not visit again, would not recommend. Unless you feel the need for some tad overboard pretention. "
