Dormy Inn Nagano Zenkounoyu Natural Hot Spring

8/10 Good
"The best thing about this hotel is its location (incredibly close to the station) and its staff (friendly and very helpful). It is a very tired looking hotel so really needs an upgrade. Same format room as every other Dormy Inn one I have stayed in."
