Izu Matsuzaki Sou (Izu Matsuzaki Inn) — Hotel in Matsuzaki

This was my second time staying here and the second time that I have had a pleasant stay. It is located about 3-5 minutes from the Matsuzaki Bus Terminal on foot and next to Matsuzaki Beach. The staff didn't speak English, but everyone was nice and tried their best to be accommodating. They did have a pamphlet in English that talked about the hotel and showed various things to do and see around town, so that was convenient.||||The hotel offered both traditional Japanese style rooms with tatami mats and futons and western style rooms with beds. There was also an option for a room with a view of the town or a view of the bay/ocean which cost a bit more. I opted for the western style room with the town view which was less expensive and resembled a typical room and bed you would find at a business hotel in Japan, clean and decent. The provided amenities (towels, robes, slippers, etc) were on par with that of a business hotel as well.||||Be aware that this hotel has a curfew. Other hotels I have stayed at in Japan have a similar rule, so this wasn't surprising to me. Maybe this was so that they could cut down on staffing costs or curb late night mischief? I don’t know. Anyway, the guidebook in the room stated 10pm, but the front desk said 11pm. Always better make sure and ask the front desk if you decide to step out and want to come back late. You don’t want to be hanging out late at a nearby restaurant or beach and then come back finding the front door locked and the lobby lights off.||||Not really being a seafood fan, I never tried their dinner courses. I did however try their breakfast which was laid out in a buffet style on the second floor dining room daily from 7am to 9am. The food consisted mainly of Japanese dishes which were overall good. Not something to write home about, but good enough to satisfy an empty stomach in the morning.||||The highlight of this hotel I think has to be the onsen (hot spring) on the top floor. Both the indoor and outdoor onsen offered spectacular views of Matsuzaki Beach and Suruga Bay. On a clear day during sunset it can get quite picturesque!||||This is always my go-to hotel whenever I visit Matsuzaki and still will be for the...

I recently stayed at this hotel and was quite disappointed. While the breakfast was supposed to be included, it was severely lacking. Despite having set meal times, there was no effort to replenish the food, and by the last serving, only bread, milk, vegetable, and soup were available. Considering the high prices for both the accommodation and meals, the quality simply didn't match the cost.

Additionally, while the onsen was nice, it wasn't particularly impressive. On the positive side, the rooms were newly renovated, but I found it inconvenient that there were no en-suite bathrooms. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless significant...
