Good, compact business hotel especially for the price. Older property but well maintained and room has all the amenities you’ll need (tea, kettle, mini-fridge, slippers, toothbrush + paste, comb, q-tips, etc.). Check in lady was great & explained everything. Hotel also provides printouts explaining things in english.
Very close from JR station. Also close to Lake Suwa. The large public bath has natual hot spring water and almost anytime we can take it. The complementary breakfast is super rich. It's buffet and serving japanese and western, many kinds of dishes.
By Japanese standards it wasn't the cleanest, but compared to hotels in most countries it was still exceptional. There was a stain/spill on my duvet cover and a few areas needed a good dusting. Bed and pillow were a little hard (in typical Japanese fashion, but with no alternatives on hand). Hotel is close to Kami Suwa Station, in a quiet area, great for visiting Lake Suwa
