Hotel Sun Valley Annex

Good

If you are looking to stay here, chances are you were trying to stay in Beppu but wanted to save money, and for the price the hotel is fine. First things first, if you are taking the train, it is around a 20 minute walk from the station, but it mostly flat so it is easy. Staff were fantastic, and check in went great. The hotel was probably the best in Beppu back in the Showa Era (there is a second phone in the bathroom), however it is now clearly quite old and has a distinct smell, even inside my room. The carpet in the hallways was in rough shape, though the carpet in the room was clearly much newer. The air conditioner is either on or off, no control of the thermostat, so your choices are on, off, or open the windows. My room was on the 11th floor, so the view was exceptional. Seeing the sunrise from up there made me feel like the room was worth double the price All things considered, the price was fair, the hotel clean, and the service great, with the main downside for me being the smell.
