Chigusa Hotels, Komono

"Brand new property. Parking available for a charge (limited spaces). Onsen on property, very nice with sauna and cold bath. Beds are firm but comfortable. Breakfast with an additional charge. Japanese style breakfast, so skip if you want western style."

"The hotel itself was pretty amazing (once you find the entrance), with massive clean rooms and good food, with hot spring water directly in the rooms. The thing to understand is that it is in the middle of nowhere (industrial area), with no restaurants around it. It is also a 15-20 min walk from the station and then 20 mins to Nagoya. Or alternatively a taxi for about 9,000-11,000 Yen. Best way is a taxi (GO app) to the station, then train to Nagoya for relative ease and not too expensive. Also, if there is an English version of the TV-Screen ordering system for room service, we couldn’t find it. Quite extensive menu though and we worked it out mainly by picture but hard if you are picky as you don’t quite know what’s coming sometimes. That said, the food was much better than expected. We used it as a base for the family (2 kids, 11 & 8), going to Legoland and Ghibli Park and a daytrip to Kyoto. As the room was absolutely huge it gave a great respite from days of walking and for the price it was incredible. Add the taxis and less so but in the end we were pretty blown away with the value for money."

"Breakfast menu was excellent!"

"Parking spots (Times) are limited, need to get the spot early. Times parking spot is discounted. There are other parking lots available. Cost around ¥2000+"

"The hotel is in excellent location to the train station and Hikone castle. On route there are plenty of good restaurants to have excellent meal."
