Chisun Grand Nagano
Comfortable bed and good shower, large room, great location and very central. Nice extra amenities too. There is storage for luggage after you check out so you can explore before your next transit, but it is first-come first-serve where you lock your bag up in their lobby.

Convenient location, very walkable. No dedicated drop off points which can make loading and unloading of suitcases difficult.

Mercure Nagano Matsushiro Resort & Spa
The room was spotless, the bath was clean and wonderful . The buffet was amazing ! Only reason for one less star than perfect was that it was super crowded and the elevators could not handle the needs of all of the guests . We took the stairs several times
