???, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall it is really an excellent hotel. Many of the rooms should be updated, but still they are adequate and spacious. The breakfast area can be busy, but there is a large adjacent room with plenty of space. The hotel staff were great. The onsen has a spacious indoor bath and plenty of washing areas. The outdoor bath is very pleasant, just be careful walking on the stone surfaces. The staff takes good care of the onsen and sauna. The location is good. You can walk to Nagahama JR station and the old town area is just beyond. The lake and the large beautiful next door park and castle is good for walking. There are not many restaurants open at night in central Nagahama, but you can probably find something.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The 5 stars is based on the Expedia value and I arrived after dark. With current exchange I paid $46usd for a standard double room. The property has blemishes but it was a tremendous value (even before exchange). My experience was one night and I didn't soak in the public bath. But the residents appeared to enjoy it. I would definitely look at this property again if I'm in Nagahama.

夏休みの宿泊という事で、すごい客数でした。 エレベーターも食事時は満杯。 食事も遠いところから取りに行かないといけませんでした。 それ以外は問題なしです。 食事の内容は満足です。 海外の方が少なかったのも良かったです。 混雑時以外に行きたいです
