Hotel berhampiran Doronko, Chino

地點在蓼科平原上，與車站距離半小時車程，山上景色優美，酒店內外環境舒適，是一間有文化和歷史的溫泉酒店，服務員接待殷勤。

今次本人是與家人自駕去長野縣旅行。若不是自駕的話，小水鳥酒店並不易到達。可能四月已過滑雪旺季。路上和酒店周邊的風景和氛圍都是一片冷清蒼涼。酒店據說翻新不久。所以設施乾淨企理。惟獨門前上斜波的樓梯級殘舊不堪。我們訂了酒店早餐和晚餐。食材都是本地新鮮產品。烹調味道尚可。因入住當天只有我們一組客人，貸切溫泉給我們一家輪流包場使用。一般般的沒有什麼問題。整體來說，這小小的酒店，沒有什麼令人不滿處，亦也沒有什麼驚喜之處。

The staff, service, facilities, and room were top notch. Once our stay was booked, we received an email questionnaire. We are both vegan and they accommodated our preference. asking for our preferences. You can select between Japanese and French cuisine. We both opted for Japanese. When we arrived, they staff greeted us kindly and it was a delightful surprise to be led into a room filled with Christmas decorations. We booked the ”Standard Zen Suite” and were not disappointed. It comes with your own private indoor-outdoor onsen. It was heaven. If you are new to onsen, they also provide helpful instructions upon arrival that you can read. It was my absolute favorite onsen experience. There are three different onsens for guests, each separated by gender. They also provide popsicles, hot/cold tea, in addition to the standard shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair tonic, skin lotion etc. When we were there they had two shuttles which ran from Matsumoto Station to pick you up. One at 3:15 pm and another at 4:30 pm. We would both love to return!

一見地味なペンションですが、ご主人の独特の雰囲気、話題の豊富さが楽しみいっぱいでした。食事がないのも、自由な宿と捉えれば最高です。満喫させていただきました。

朝食が良かった。フルーツ盛りができるくらいフルーツが出る。肉、魚、野菜、惣菜があり、フライばかりに逃げていないところが好感持てます。ヨーグルトもあり、連泊しても飽きずに色々食べることができました。 ベットもシモンズでいいです。 椅子もしっかり背もたれでした。 温泉は小さいけれど本物でした。 ウォーターサーバがあったものプラスです。 紅茶、緑茶、ドリップコーヒーが部屋にあったのでお水を貰ってきて飲んでました。 早めに予約するとお得に泊まれるようですが、コスパはなかなか良いと思います。

レセプションは親切な応対。 本館のシングルに宿泊。設備はやや古いが掃除は行き届いていた。 大浴場は6Fにあり、夜と朝で男性用／女性用の入れ替え、露天風呂はやや狭かったが人が少なかったので気持ちよく入浴ができた。 朝食はバイキング形式。和食が中心で種類は多い。パンは3種類と少なかった。 たまたま宿泊した日に諏訪湖の花火大会があり、7階の観覧テラスが開放され、間近で見ることができた。

We decided to stop in Suwa to break up a long drive back to Tokyo. Shinyu looked very good and the price was reasonable. The hotel is renovated and gives a nice modern spa hotel atmosphere. The greeting at the hotel is very nice and the lobby area is beautiful. We felt very welcomed when we arrived. Our room was facing the lake. It was Japanese style with tatami and futons. Nice room, nice view. The public bath was nice. Not huge but felt very good. They have an indoor bath, small outdoor bath, a sauna and a cold bath. Dinner was great, as was breakfast. They were both courses and delicious. Service? Well, this is what makes all the difference. When we book hotels we need to detail my daughter's food allergies which are serious. For this trip we had booked many hotels in a row and for some reason when we booked Shinyu and checked-in we just forgot. It was our fault and when we sat for dinner we saw her prepared meal that she obviously could not eat. The staff at Shinyu didn't miss a beat. The didn't make a big deal about it. No stress. The quickly adjusted and made a wonderful dinner for my daughter and also prepared for her breakfast in similar fashion. Wonderful. Such great service. Maybe the building isn't perfect. But the service was perfect. Shinyu was our last stop on our trip and we left with a smile. Shinyu gets an ”Excellent” from my family.

ウェルカムドリンク、ピザだべ放題、ヤギとの触れ合い、キッズルーム、部屋、全て良かったです。子供達も今まで行った中で1番良かったと満足していました。1点だけ残念だったのが、1階にあるトイレです。子供が食事中にトイレに行きたいというのでロビー横のトイレに連れて行きましたが、結構古く、和式でした。1つだけ洋式の男女共用のトイレがありましたが、これも古かったです。
