Hotel is located at a convenient location. It is close to Nagano station and there’s an option to take the sheltered path from Midori mall to reach the hotel. From Midori mall, there’s also a linkway (not sheltered) that goes to the Don Quijote (Donki) Nagano Ekimae Store. It’s not crowded like the Tokyo stores and although it’s not a mega store, I feel the variety is sufficient. We stayed 2 nights at the hotel. We have previously arranged to have our luggages delivered from Kyoto on 15 Apr to reach the hotel on 16 Apr. The luggages arrived before we check-in and we were impressed the hotel staff helped to bring it to the room when we arrived. Although the hotel is not very new, the room was clean and well maintained. Basic amenities such as toothbrush/ toothpaste, comb, shavers, shower caps were provided, that was similar to their Tokyo branch which we also stayed at during this trip. We went on the Kamikochi hike and one reason we chose this hotel is because 1 of the pick-up point is right at the hotel lobby which is very convenient. You can see it on the left once you step out of the hotel’s main entrance. Breakfast was also very good with a wide variety of food. What struck me was the variety of sauces that were available, also the toppings available for the yogurt such as jellies and jams. Apple juice that is one of Nagano’s speciality was also available in a bottle. The mini swiss rolls were nice too. There is also a live egg station present. However, it was not available closer to the end time of the breakfast buffet. The restaurant was also quite spacious which we appreciate.

An enjoyable stay but rooms for improvement noted during my 2 nights stay. Location --------- Great location just next to the station and easily accessible with the need to climb stairs or walk in the rain to get there. Room ------- Room is spacious but a little dated. The bed is hard. I mean really hard. It was not great to sleep in. I have stayed in JR hotel chain around Japan and this is the most uncomfortable bed I have slept in. Shower is great. Water pressure is excellent and temperature is consistent throughout the shower, however the tap does not have hot water and the water is too cold to wash up in the morning. Service -------- Nothing to complain but nothing that is so memorable to me. Hotel comes with amenities and complimentary water during my stay that are refilled daily.
