Connective way to what??

I would like to kindly ask the hotel reception desk to verify that translation. It’s in an onsen hotel in Japan.

Here's a somewhat literal translation for the readable bits:

本館連絡通路 (ほんかんれんらくつうろ) - Pathway to Main Hall Reception*

*I'm guessing on this one from context, since the kanji used is 連絡 which usually means to contact

サウンドバー - Sound bar

展望大浴場 (てんぼうだいよくじょう) - Large bathing area with a view

As for the 'main erection' translation, I'm guessing it's from the kanji 本館 which means main hall or main building. Hence, it's the main erection. I think the translation got too fancy for it's own good!
