Hotel berhampiran Nagayama Park, Hikone, Shiga

チェックイン前の時間帯でも快く駐車場の案内をしてくださり助かりました。 朝食も多種のパンと飲み物が用意されて部屋で食べるのでゆっくり朝も過ごせました。

清潔、オシャレ、便利、快適！ スーパーホテルの看板がありきたりなビジネスホテル風だが、中はおしゃれでオーガニックや環境に配慮した環境。とても居心地が良かった。　 お風呂はユニットなので、ちょっと足を伸ばして極楽湯というスーパー銭湯へ。ここも最高でした。

３月上旬に１泊しました。米原駅新幹線口すぐなので、アクセスは文句なしです。とはいえテルの選択肢もほぼここ一択です。駅そばにスーパーがありますが、遅い時間には閉まっています。その他、周囲にお店らしいお店はありません。一応駅ナカにコンビニがありますが、夜遅いと閉まっているので、その場合はホテル裏にあるファミリーマートへ。ホテルから徒歩３分くらいです。私はホテル着が２３時を過ぎていたので、このファミリーマートを見つけた時は「神様に会えた」くらいの感動でした(笑)。 室内とサービスは「安心、安定の東横イン」です。それ以上もそれ以下もありません。

I chose Daiwa because of its location is by the lake location and not too far away from Kurokabe distance. Daiwa is famous for good price performance ratio, meaning not expensive room rate yet providing quality room and service. The hotel lobby is grand, and you pick up the bathroom amenities at lobby yourselves. Check in was smooth but you have to bring your own luggage to your room. The hotel charge you Yen 500 for parking per night but give you Yen 500 voucher in return which you can spend in the hotel, not a bad deal. The hotel also provides a shuttle bus service to the Nagahama station for hotel guests if you are not driving. Even taking a taxi from the station to hotel is not more than 5 minutes. The station is just a few minutes walks to the famous Kurokabe Plaza and its surrounding waling streets. Yukata is available on each floor lobby where you pick your selection and size. We were allocated at the corner room which is very spacious, overlooking the lake and the pier, with windows on two sides, and therefore, very bright when the weather is sunny. We reserved a dinner in the booking with the hotel. The dinner is served in the function. It was a multi course dinner with various cooking method of Omi beef, including stew, hot pot and grill, plus a variety of other dishes such as sashimi. Server is very good and the staff are trying hard to communicate with us in English. The onsen on the ground floor is not very big, but the two nights we stayed are Friday and Saturday, so there were extremely many people. There is a souvenir shop which opens until 9pm, a bit early. After we checked out the hotel, we walked around the Nagahama Castle Park which is five minutes walk away from hotel. The castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the sixteen century but the current castle is a re-built. We dined at the hotel lobby tea lounge for lunch. But the meal was probably the worst meal I have ever had in Japan over the years. I think a tea should be fine with a good view of the lake. The location of the hotel, and the service quality makes an ideal choice when staying in Nagahama.

すごく快適でした！ 軽食もあっていいホテルでした

6日間の出張で利用しました！室内は綺麗で過ごしやすかったです。朝食バイキングは料理が毎日変化し、またコインランドリーの台数も多く、連泊でも快適に過ごせました。宿泊したのは本館のほうですが、新館の綺麗な朝食場も使えました。

駅からの近さと部屋の広さはとても良いし周辺もコンビニ・スーパー・飲食店が多く便利。 建物が元々古いのか，古いホテルを買い取ってRemodelしたのか，バスルームに入るのに高い敷居をまたぐタイプな上，お湯と水を別々に調整必要な古い蛇口で使いにくい。更にパッキングの劣化を放っておいてるようなので強く締めないとぼたぼた水音がする。 ロビーのアメニティに耳栓があるのは何故？と思ったら東海道線の音がかなりする。気にする向きの方にはうるさいかも。そのような場合は線路と反対側の部屋を指定するのが良いでしょう。 朝食は無料，言い換えれば強制的に付いてるとも言えるが。。。この手のホテル朝食としては普通。

Very happy with my experience. I stayed one night in late November 2022 while riding the Biwaichi route. Staff was courteous, efficient, and bilingual. Facility was clean and well organized and - importantly - had indoor bicycle storage. For the equivalent of 28 USD (3700 JPY) I got one of the dorm beds similar to a capsule hotel plus a Thai bento of Gapao rice which was delicious. They also have a nice big public bath as well as individual showers, coin laundry, and some snacks for purchase at the front desk. If you're looking for an overnight rest stop while riding, i recommend this place.
