The presence of cobwebs, particularly around the hot spring's windows, along with neglected areas such as trays and chopsticks, suggests that some aspects of upkeep could be improved. Many guests expressed concerns about cleanliness in specific areas like the large public bath, which was perceived as lacking in maintenance.

Despite these issues, guests found certain amenities, like the personal bathroom within rooms, to be enjoyable, though the hot water situation could be inconvenient. Though the resort's age might detract from its overall appearance, some consider the combination of room features and affordability reasonable.
