Maruka Ishigakijima
快適に滞在できました。 観光ではなく仕事でしたので、料理がてわきること、洗濯ができること、ゆっくりお風呂に入れることなど、普段の生活をそのまま持ってきたような滞在がありがたかったです。 また利用したいです。 欲を言えば、枕元にライトがあると…（あったのかもですが、わたしが見つけられなかっただけかもしれませんが）。 場所もバスターミナル・バス停や繁華街から近く、すぐ近くに地元スーパーがあることもよかったです。

Spartan but decent size room. My interaction with the staff was good. 5 minute walk from town center. I will stay there again on my next trip to Ishigaki

大きい施設、美味しかった朝食、アメニティにも困らなかったし、お水もいつも補充され、良かったです。一つ言うならばシャワーの排水口が詰まってて嫌でしたが、伝えたらすぐに直してもらった。
