Top Matsumoto Hotel Reviews

Richmond Hotel Matsumoto

Richmond Hotel Matsumoto

8/10 Good
"The mechanical parking lots were quite limited and takes a while to access your cars. There are plenty of open air parking lots nearby the hotel which has a tie up with the hotel so that was a good option, if it was not raining. Laundry room information and availability shown on the TV is really helpful for planning a laundry run."
