Flower Garden

Booked my stay for 2 nights in April 2024. Took about an hour to locate the hotel where there was a lack of visible signage. The hotel is trading as a restaurant with a different name. We drove past the hotel several times and we went to another accommodation nearby to inquire about the location of the Flowers Garden Hotel. The owner was kind enough to point out to the house where the restaurant was. On scrutiny the Flower Garden Hotel was in small prints at the bottom of the restaurant signage. To our surprise our accommodation is on the 2nd level. The lady host was kind enough to have 2 lads to bring up our luggage. We were told that the toilet and bath/shower were communal sharing. For taking bath /shower the facility is at the ground / 1st level. No bath towels were provided. Each guest was given a small face/hand towel , packed together with toothbrush and toothpaste. Being seniors we find it was rather inconvenient to use the shower. We took a decision to shorten our stay to 1 night and booked the Grandvrio Hotel in the Mt Aso vicinity. The noteworthy aspect was that the breakfast we ordered the night before was very good ( presentation and food wise). )
