I've stayed in various Dormy Inn locations and i'm comfortable with their standard and prices. They have the best locations like near train stations. This specific location is also near the train station. However, the streets were kind'a designed to be confusing as the blocks are diagonals. At first , you might turn at a wrong street.
In any case, the hotel is just walking distance even until the Nagano castle. i'd highly recommend it and will stay again.
There's also an onsen in the hotel itself.there were some freebies, like yakult and ice popsicles, every night which i unfortunately discovered the day after. There were 2 massage chairs on the same floor of the onsen. This then made it my favorite Dormy Inn branch. There were also many mangas which you can read at this recreation floor.
Breakfast was good and filling as they serve local Nagano dishes. You don't need to try hard to find local restaurants to eat these. I had a list of local dishes and fortunately , i was able to tick them off. (except, of course, sake) .
There's also unlimited coffee , tea , ice at the lobby.
There was just 1 staff who was annoying , though she probably thought that she was concerned. i was using the toilet at the lobby and she kept banging on the door. After the third time , only then she asked if I was ok. she could've asked the first time when i replied on her knock !
