Hotels in Saga with Swimming Pools

We enjoyed our stay at Garden Terrace Saga, with its modern rooms and superb service. We arrived after a long day of travels around Saga prefecture. Please note that there is an entrance via Shinei Dori Street, Dive through the red building tunnel, across a short bridge and make a left turn, the hotel is on your right. After a quick check-in process, we were escorted to our room on the 6th floor. Our agent had booked us the honeymoon suite and it was absolutely lovely. After a brief introduction, she left us to our own devices. Upon entry, two large double beds occupied the double ceiling area. This room was at the apex of the Isosceles-triangle-shaped hotel. Beds had clean and smooth sheets and was super comfortable. Bedside charging points are in built into the side table area. A large flat screen TV is mounted on the wall in front of the bed. Mostly local TV channels though! Walking beyond the beds is the make-up table with comfy chair and large mirror. The closest is behind this and you can find slippers, bath robes and the room safe here. There is an exit door behind the floor to ceiling mirrors here too, with staircase leading down. I believe the housekeeping uses this to get into the room. Beware that the door was not locked when we found it. Some added security here for guests would be ideal. Moving back to the main door, and to the right is a small toilet area, separate from the shower/bathroom area. The standard Japanese toilet and small sink is housed here. if you walk to the left as you approach the main door, there is a large sitting area with comfy sofa, and another TV. There is also a 6 seater dining table. The hotel was really good to us and gave us a box of cakes that was left in the man-height fridge. The hotel also notified the Teppanyaki restaurant that I had a bottle bubbly from a previous stay in the fridge. Thus restaurant flipped the beverage menu to the champagne page we were given the menus. We liked this sharing of information! There is tea and coffee making facilities here too. Wifi is standard throughout the hotel and it was pretty fast and strong.. The bathroom is right behind the living room TV. Double sinks and loads to amenities. There was also a bottle of bathing sake for guest use. A rain shower and bath tub is connected to the bathroom. One can also exit the bathroom and into the enclosed balcony area [or go out via the living room]. where there is a large seating area is ready to welcome guests, as well as a jacuzzi. I went down to the gym on the two mornings we overnighted here. The gym is small and narrow with very select machines. One multi function weight machine, two light dumbbells station and one treadmill and bicycle/elliptical [?] machine. There is a small swimming pool and a Sauna cabin next to it. Towels and water are readily available. Our room came with breakfast and they arranged for us to take it in the Eecutive lounge. The breakfast can either be Japanese or Western. We went with we

At first, I thought it was a ryokan with hot springs, but I didn't know it in detail ^^ It's a Japanese business hotel with a lot of banquets. The room condition is similar to a normal business hotel, and above all, the breakfast was Japanese, so I was personally satisfied. When you enter the guided breakfast restaurant, please check the breakfast ticket and guide you to the pre-prepared seat. The staff at the breakfast room kindly guided me and ate well.

There are very few foreign tourists. They are places where local people go to hot springs. Because there are fewer tourists, communication is a bit difficult. A thin man at the front desk will speak a little English, patiently tell us about the hotel facilities, warm smiles, poor communication. At the time, let us draw on the map, the location is far from the Saga JR station, more than 8 kilometers. The hotel shuttle runs every hour, but the shuttle location is very difficult to find. At the north exit, follow the left, semi-circular passage to the side of the road, under a traffic light, there is a North Island dessert shop opposite. The location of the South Exit Shuttle is more concealed. The South Exit is a parking lot, and the parking lot is on the south side of the road. It is basically not visible at the exit. The hotel spa is not bad, there are several, and there are open air. Hotel breakfast is pure Japanese, one person, not used to eat! Dinner is good, there is Saga beef, the taste is good, the mother of the restaurant does not speak English, but the smile of the face and the warm Japanese introduction, I don't understand, but people are moved! There is a children's play area, kids like it! I feel that many locals are specializing in hot springs, and it seems that they are not fully accommodated. It takes about 25 minutes to get to the train station. The traffic jam at the peak of the commute near Saga train station is a bit serious.
