"There were just a few English speaking employees, Iwata was one of them and then the facility was a little dated but they tried hard to keep it up to par; our first room was clean except that the bathroom had a rotten wooden panel that I discovered was the cause of the smell, so after spending time with 3 people for a few hours I had the room changed to a newly refurbished and clean one...maybe because of the whole situation I got some allergies going, not pleasant. The outside area is kept clean but there were some visible area (from the windows) that looked in shambles considering that the lake & mountain views were nice, so I pointed that to the manager and staff. Dining is limited and there is JoJo restaurant near by/across the street that hit the spot. The Onsen area was good and my wife used it many times, so communication had his changes and beware of the older rooms that might have some issues that should be addressed asap with pictures with the staff."

"Our one night stay at Shirasagiyu Tawaraya was wonderful! We requested pick up and drop off at the station and this is pretty much necessary unless you take a taxi. The driver was very nice and found a tiny pin that came off my backpack without me even knowing it was missing. This is the type of attention to detail that is fantastic about Japan! The gentleman who talked us through check in and gave us info on meals, baths and so on was helpful, kind, and also funny. We LOVED our room and amenities. We got one of the newer rooms with access to a lounge with coffee, tea, soda, water, juice, and some alcohol. There was additional space to relax and take in the river and forest view. And it had a message chair. We used that a lot and only saw one other person enter the lounge to get a drink during our time there. Our room had a partial outdoor bath and it was wonderful. We also reserved and paid an additional fee for a 45 minute bath that had an indoor and outdoor. So glad we did this! The ryokan is on the river and we spent some time walking the trail. It was beautiful but there was remaining snow and quite a bit of water so had to be careful We did not find any open shops so decided to just focus our time relaxing in the baths and massage chair. If we would have spent a second night we would have looked harder for some local shopping areas and restaurants. We had dinner and breakfast at the inn. It was very good and the staff was fabulous. We enjoyed our relaxing stay!"

"We loved our two night stay here! We had just stayed a few nights in ryokan, which we love but it was nice to have a couple nights in a very nice and comfortable hotel room. We booked a corner room with windows on two sides over looking the station, mountains, and city. We also paid for the breakfast buffet. Both choices were so worth it! Only additional things I wish were in the hotel are a public bath and laundry room. The staff was fantastic, the building perfectly located for quick access to trains, buses, and taxis, which are very necessary here. Restaurants and all kinds of shopping nearby. There were even stalls set up outside and inside the mall across the way for local vendors. Fukui is fabulous! We booked the Dino Liner and Prefectural Dinosaur Museum ahead and these were the main reason for our visit. The Hokuriku Arch Pass is very worth it and gets you out of some of the normal tourists spots. We would visit Fukui again, stay at the Marriott and enjoy more of the city and surrounding areas. Thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome to their City! "
