The Kamenoi Hotel in Beppu is convenient, and inexpensive, but it has a few big problems. One of the elevators did not work, and this caused constant congestion and long waits for the remaining two elevators. In fact, along with a lot of the guests, I began using a service elevator, which worked much better. (Too bad for the guests who did not know about it.) And I must say, this hotel is quite filthy and odiferous. Though the staff were nice, and the breakfast buffet fairly good, this is not a hotel I can recommend at this time.
