In my opinion, the only benefit for staying at this hotel is its location. The hotel is located directly inside the theme park, which means you are able to roam around the park after it's closed or before it's open, a rare experience you can hardly get in any theme park. It also means you can go back to your room anytime during the day, without even need to exit the park. This is not a small benefit, and that's why I still give it 3 stars. The room, however, was disappointing for a moderately expensive hotel. It was really old, probably never renovated since the theme park opened. I stayed in one of their superior rooms. The decor was plain, and while the room was large, about 1/3 of the space was completely empty and basically unused. The TV was tiny considering the room size, and I wasn't even sure if it's HD. The lobby and the public space didn't look bad, but there wasn't anything cool or fancy. My room faced away from the park, so couldn't tell much about the view. It was quiet though. One thing I was unprepared for was that the hotel didn't have a store. And since all the stores in the park close by 8PM or so, I wasn't able to buy snakes or drinks at night. (There was a minibar in the room, but it was overpriced and was mostly alcohol). If I chose to stay in a hotel outside of the main entrance, I would have access to the convenience stores. The breakfast was overpriced. While the food wasn't bad, it was an average hotel breakfast and doesn't worth 3600 yen. However since you can't get breakfast in the park anywhere else, the other option is to hold until lunch. If I make the choice again, I would probably stay at one of their partner hotels outside of the main gate. Not only are they cheaper, but are also more convenient. TIPS: 1. Since the hotel is located inside the theme park, you can't drive to the hotel or get dropped at the hotel entrance. You have to walk through the park entrance, and reach the hotel either by foot or by taking the park shuttle. If you have luggage, you can have them delivered to the hotel for free at the luggage service kiosk outside of the main gate (it takes 2-3 hours). You can also have your luggage delivered to the entrance at check out, but need to pick them up before 6PM. If you are driving, you won't have easy access to your car during the stay. 2. Unless you arrive after the park is closed, you need a valid park admission ticket on your check in day to access the hotel. You don't need admission tickets for subsequent days (until check out). They are included in your room rate and will be given to you at check in time. You will also get a ticket to the hot spring (only 1 ticket per stay). You have to get there by taking the shuttle bus, and the place is pretty crowded. I think it can be passed.
