Mitsui Kanko Hotel

We were there 27-28oct. The hotel is a little far from the ferry terminal, but the sea-facing view is excellent. There's a small provision store right next to it, where we bought cup noodles and ice cream, and a bus stop beside the store. A bigger supermarket and restaurants are along the route to the terminal, about a 5-10 minute walk. Our ferry was cancelled on checkout day, so we had to stay another night. The staff were helpful and accommodating despite the communication gap, and a translation app worked. They helped us change rooms and gave us lots of information. Even with the cancellation, they still ran the shuttle to the terminal so we could find food. Notices in the lift also covered ferry cancellations and the bus shuttle. It was off season, with only this hotel and another dorm-style place available. The hotel was operating with minimal services: no room or dinner service, just breakfast.

The meals were great, with a traditional set Japanese dinner and a mixed breakfast buffet, and the hotel sits right on the water. The rooms are spacious by Japanese standards. I was surprised to find just one pillow, since I'm used to sleeping with five, but everything else in the room was fine. Some reviews are a bit harsh about the Wi-Fi. It doesn't reach above the second floor, but that's how it is. This place isn't run down. It's not a five-star hotel, but it's more than I expect from a three-star place.

Some of the Google complaints are fair, especially the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms, though I think the reviews lean unfairly negative. The hotel is clean and modern, the food was delicious, and the hot spring bath was clean too. Service was attentive and helpful.

Handy spot near the ferry terminal, and there's an onsen at the hotel. Wi-Fi only works in the lobby, though, not in the rooms.
