The Gran Resort Elegante Atami

The facilities inside were very clean and nice.

I think it was a hotel that was worth the price. The breakfast was delicious.

The building is a bit old, but the interior is fine. The rooms have balconies with ocean views, but you need to ignore the telephone poles in front of you. The public bath is okay, but the problem is the pool floor is black, making it hard to see the steps. I accidentally scraped my calf and had to give up on soaking. The breakfast was decent. The hotel is located on high ground with narrow roads; driving up there was a bit nerve-wracking. People used to driving on main roads should probably avoid it.

I didn't have high expectations after looking at the Ctrip score, but many hotels were fully booked that night for the fireworks display, so I came to this hotel. It was actually OK. The room is not small, the terrace is super large, you can see the sea, but it is blocked by high-voltage wires. It's not far from Atami Station to the room, 10 minutes away, but you have to walk up the stairs or take an S-shaped road, which is a bit painful to carry a suitcase. There is no bathroom in the room, only a public bath. There are very few people and it is almost reserved. When I checked in at around 6:30, there was no one at the front desk. I had to call them to come out. It was a bit strange. And they also stipulated that the door is locked from 11pm to 6am the next day and no one can enter or leave.

The hotel is a bit old and located halfway up the mountain. There are not many choices in the convenience store and the location is remote. Although there is a special car to pick you up, I personally think it is more suitable for self-driving tours. The view from the room is nice.
