Umi-no Hotel Isaba — Hotel in Numazu

Took my parents here for a couple of days stay, with my husband and children. The hotel is in a nice location by the sea, a little out of town with a nice view of the bay. Mt Fuji can be seen from nearby and is a beautiful sight. The rooms and hotel are a bit dated and decor of average taste. There was a shaggy round carpet under the coffee table which looked to be from the 70's. We booked rooms with private baths, which were nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was pretty good, but nothing was outstanding, as I've come to expect from japanese inns, especially for the price we paid.

The clear assets of this pricey place are the onsen/thermal baths, also in every room , the great Japanese dinner (be open to dancing abalone, the famous and gigantic local crabs, etc.) and the very friendly and supportive staff.
