Kamakura is a beautiful, charming, coastal city with such an incredible history. So, despite the deficiencies of this hotel, we had a blast. Dining and transportation are very limited at this hotel location. If you don't wish or can't make their restaurent opening times, you have to walk 30 minutes to a restaurant each way or wait min. of 15 mintues for a taxi. We went last July and picked this hotel for the beautiful pool , however, the pool was closed the entire time we were there! The staff was very aloof and disconnected and not accomodating at all -- very unusual for us, as throughout our 3 weeks of Japan vacation, every other hotel had remarkably dedicated staff. We will return to Kamakura just not to this hotel.
