agree  Geraldine Oudin: There is a slight difference between an inn and an hotel, which is why I select this answer. A look at the brochure should enable you to tell the difference and chose the appropriate term.

neutral  humbird: Common translation for 旅館 is "inn", namely "Japanese inn".
12 hrs
  -> Thank you for your remark. I know that 旅館　is "inn" but since "inn" is a type a hotel, I considered that the initial translator might have chosen hotel instead of inn.
agree  ProTranslator: This is most likely correct, especially if it was originally translated from Japanese to English by a native speaker.
