4S Stay is a great base if you are traveling around in the Ikeda area. It's a home converted into a small hotel with shared bathrooms and showers. It's kept very clean and we enjoyed our stay there. The only downside was there were no TVs in the rooms. Wasn't expecting English progamming as I live in Japan but just having a chance to watch some evening programming would have made the nights a bit more enjoyable and less quiet. For us, if they had TVs in the rooms we'd probably stay there again. For those that don't care, it's a fine place to stay. Expect tatami mat rooms and futons in a fairly simple, yet clean room style.
