    Parking was a bit of a distance but not a major issue.

    I loved the onsen bath, cold plunge and sauna. It was very clean and modern. They also had free amenities like razors and so forth. I also appreciated the fact that they had free drinking water available in the bathing area. Staff was also very friendly and the hotel itself is new and well decorated.

    There is no parking lot for the hotel. Customers require to park their cars at the nearby paid parking lots. Even though it's free but it is a bit burden for customer to carry the luggage to the car park.

    The room was great & the breakfast was awesome.

    Lovely new hotel with beautiful onsen facilities (a bonus!). The staff were extremely friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations for what to do in the area (we were visiting a friend from the states and spoke very limited Japanese). Don't miss the bartender and strawberry dessert on the top floor (plus the open air onsen)!

    Aware check out time with all hotel ranges. Might be a Japan thing that the checkout is 10am, but wished it was a little bit later.

    Comfortable bed, great views, friendly staff. Rooftop resting area was also great to unwind after a long day! Overall a great hotel.

    My patner wished there was an extra pillow option . I thought the steak was a bit pricey for what we got in the restaurant but service once again was great .

    Big spacious room . Lovely onsen . Very clean and if you don't mind staying 20 minutes on the train to nagano its perfect. We had the JR pass so we used it everyday

    While the rooms were basically comfortable, for some reason the window was really draughty, so the person nearest it felt a cold breeze all night. Nice that there's a public bath with a view, but it's rather small, so if there are more than a few people in the area, you are very close to them while walking and the showers kind of spray on each other. Also the floor is quite slippery. More than that though, the baths were SCALDING hot -- like it seemed almost like a mistake. The half of my body I managed to get in was bright red like a boiled lobster when I got out. Most importantly, maybe because it's new the staff could use a lot more experience around guests. Many of them seemed just afraid to smile or say hello. They also need to be able to handle problems more effectively. I was not given clear instructions or a map as to where to park, so ended up mistakenly parking in the public lot right in front of the hotel overnight. Only at checkout did they tell me I should have parked in the garage just beyond that. At check-in the front desk staff literally just said 'in the parking area over there' and gestured in the direction where both areas were. I was a little annoyed that at checkout they said they wouldn't pay for the parking and actually started arguing with me about what they told me and blamed me. I had to politely put my foot down and say that it didn't matter what they said they said, if they weren't able to give clear instructions or provide a map as to where to park they couldn't blame me for not understanding. They ended up only paying a portion of my parking because the lot I used by mistake was literally twice as expensive. I think a lot of people might not have been as sanguine about it.

    It's a very new hotel, and right in front of the shinkansen station so super convenient. Very tastefully designed, and the rooms are super comfortable with some nice touches, like a big sink and mirror, wide shower, and toilet all separate. The breakfast was also worth it, and one of the best breakfast buffets I've had at this level of hotel in Japan. Great that they use fresh local produce, and you can really tell. Also the 8th floor lounge is a nice space to hang out outside your room.
