      “Exceptional”

      You can't miss this hotel, it dominates the lakeside in Nagahama. Check in was functional and we had a Western room on the 11th floor(1131) with a dual aspect of lake and town.The room had been recently upgraded but the original fixtures had been used. Aft

      “久しぶりに”

      滋賀県でホテルを選んでると、 以前泊まったはずでしたが、名前が変わってる為戸惑いました。 夜、駐車場の入口が分からず1本手前で曲がった所入れずに引き返して駐車場に入れました。 館内はそこまで違いが無かったですが、 あちこちが綺麗にリニューアルされて、 気持ち良い宿泊ができました。

      “リピーターです”

      ホテルの名前は変わりましたが、たまに訪れます。 中風呂、露天風呂にあった時計がなくなったので、あったほうが良かったかな。これからは自分で持っていかなくてはと思いました。ロッカールームの腰掛スペースが少なくなったような気がしました。湯上りはちょっとのぼせて座りたいときがあります。

      “のんびりできました”

      いつも通りホテルではのんびりさせていただきました。 ただ、エレベーターが1ヶ所しかなかったため、満員で移動がスムーズにできないことがありました。それ以外は満足でしたのでまた、行きたいと思います。

      “リピーターです”

      経営が変わるということで、自動販売機がなくなっていて、寂しさを感じるところもありました。その分か、ドリンクサービスなどされていました。新しくなったらまた行きたいです。今までありがとうございました。
