The Kakegawa Grand Hotel offers spacious accommodations and some great features, including a generous breakfast buffet and convenient access to local attractions. However, the air conditioning system can be challenging during extreme temperatures, and the decor feels a bit dated. Overall, it's a solid choice for travelers looking for a good base in Kakegawa.
