Absolutely loved our stay at the hotel Indigo Gora. We stayed for one night. Highlights were the public onsen spa and the spa tub in the hotel room. We made a reservation for dinner at the hotel and the food was wonderful! Breakfast was also lovely. Staff were helpful and very kind.
Our only negative was the advice from the front desk about suggesting we take the hotel shuttle to odawara, instead of the train. They quoted it would take 45 mins door to door, and said it was faster than taking the train. We allowed loads of time (1hr45mins) for us to get to our Shinkansen train in odawara. The shuttle was as so incredibly slow! Inching along the road, with mostly one way roads so you had to wait for oncoming traffic to pass first. We bus took 1hour45 mins exactly. We missed our train by 5 mins which was very frustrating after allowing so much time to get there, and we had to book another train to Tokyo where there was only availability 2 hours later. Strongly recommend going via the train, it’s much faster than taking the hotel shuttle.
