Atami Spring Terrace Hotel — Hotel in Atami

We stayed in apartment C for 4 nights (note: their are 5 apartments, and 12 hotel rooms). This place is wonderful! The apartment was very big, had its own little patio with zen garden and a hot tub outside. The tub is covered but you can pull back the ceiling so you can lay back and enjoy the sun.

If you are unlucky enough to be on the third floor or book a room in the villa area, you need to carry your luggage up two or more...

We had a fantastic experience here! The room was very spacious and extremely clean. I loved the traditional style living space. Our room included a washing machine which was very useful after a long day in the sun and at the beach. The hotel is very very close to the station, but on a steep hill. I would recommend a taxi if you have heavy bags, but at night we found the location to be convenient for walking to dinner or bars. The private onsen was a great touch as well - quiet, private, and the perfect...
