Sado, Niigata Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful view of a lake and mountains from our hotel room made our stay very peaceful and relaxing. Hotel staff were very courteous, accommodating, helpful, and friendly. They made our stay very enjoyable."

"Amazing views of futsugama. Plenty of parking. Huge meal with crab! The beach is below but bit of a walk (300steps down). It’s also walkable to onogame. I think you can bus here but they are far and few between. I rent a car if I was staying here. Also they are the only game in town for miles so bring snacks and such. Make sure you opt for the restaurant food or else you’ll be stuck with no food"

"The room was okay but I really enjoyed their big onsen!"

"A family-run homestay. I was fascinated by the ypical Japanese home, the minimal design, sliding doors, mats for beds, the ingenious storage... MY guestroom was Western in every way (tv, upright bed, a.c.) but I enjoyed my insight into real Japanese life. The proprietress is a master gardener, too."

"宿の詳細が記載された上での評価をします。 GW価格だとは思いますが、この宿で何万のお金の価値は無いです。 BBQだからできるからでしょうか、窓ガラスが脂っぽい汚れがあって不快でした。 ゴミはそれぞれで最後捨てるのですが、前の日のものかわかりませんが、ゴミが残ってて不快でした。 宿からシャワー室が離れてますが、夜に入るのは中々勇気がいると思います、少なくとも女性は1人で行くのは怖いと思います。 海が好きな人は、行っても良いと思いますが価格については、普段と同じ価格設定にして欲しいし、GW価格を付けて販売するほどの価値はここにはありません。"

"We are a family of 3 staying one night in a room with private bathroom. The woman that checked us in was polite and helpful. She pointed out the nearest Family Mart where we got dinner and the next morning's breakfast. Since everything closes early near the port the 20 minute walk to Family Mart was the closest place to get food. She pointed out that there was a dining area and kitchen on the 3rd floor so we didn't have to eat in our room. Where they went above and beyond was after we checked out and had returned to Tokyo. It wasn't until that moment that our son realized he left his expensive CRT overnight contact lens in the room. We called the next morning and they had found it in the room. They shipped it to our hotel in Tokyo that day and it showed up the next evening. So thank you to the staff at Guesthouse Zink for helping us out."

"The room was well designed and very comfortable."

"Absolutely stunning and serene property "
