Hotels Near Shiojiriekinishi Park in Shiojiri

I booked the previous night for early check-in this time and booked a total of 11 nights. As with the last time I stayed, the staff were very kind. The coin laundry had a detergent that can be used for free. There were many kinds of free rental goods for hangers, mirrors and other fixtures used in the room, and we used them conveniently. The sushiro in front of me and the cow horn in the same premises were used, but the convenience store near 1 was closed and only that was inconvenient. However, I think the hotel itself is 100 points full.

This hotel was booked as part of tour of Japan and we were there for only 1 night. As a solo traveller I was allocated a single room which was very small. It did however have a large bed which based on the space available was probably too big for the room. In order to get my case open to just get a small number of items I needed for one night I had to rearrange the chair and table so I could get the case open. The “closet” if you can call it that, was so small it only had 3 hangers and was probably only about 18inches wide right next to the door. I wouldn’t want to stay in this room more than one night. On the basis you pay a single supplement I find it poor that we solo travellers are given such small and inadequate rooms. In addition, as a tour from the UK, hardly anyone spoke English so it was hard to get the staff to understand when something went wrong, like my kettle which wasn’t working. In credit to the Reception staff, once I finally managed to get him to understand the problem he resolved it very quickly. Finally when we went to breakfast at 7.45am they were already full and we had to wait about 10 mins or so, then a number of the breakfast items had run out. There were 2 coach tours in and they didn’t seem to be able to cope or cater for the amount of people there. I did find the staff very friendly and helpful, so it certainly isn’t their fault. I wouldn’t recommend it for solo travellers.

This Hotel is only a 5 minute walk to the main station making it ideal for travellers using public transport. Its quite a modern hotel with well furnished rooms although probably better suited for single occupancy as the bed is against the wall making a difficult exit for one of you during the night. If you stay less than 3 nights there isnt a maid service but you leave your dirty towels and rubbish outside your room in the morning and clean towels are there upon your return later in the day, initially we thought it a bit odd but it meant we didn’t have to tidy our room before the cleaners came in lol. There is a coffee service in reception in the mornings and the hotel does provide complimentary items i.e. hair bobbles, razor etc. We were room only here so cant comment on the food.

I chose this hotel in front of the station for the next day to use a car rental. It is a hotel of the Alpico Transportation Group. The receptionist is on the 2 floor. Check-in requires a machine hand input by yourself, and all payments, card keys and breakfast tickets are out of the machine. So payment is prepaid. It depends on the way of thinking whether it is troublesome or convenient. 1 person 8000 yen with breakfast. There was Wi-Fi, the room and the bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable and there was no particular dissatisfaction. There are also restaurants and taverns in front of the station for dinner, so there is no worry.

Check-in uses an automatic check-in machine, but even when I entered the building, the front desk staff just looked silently and didn't even greet me. Also, the guests who tried to check in at the front desk were cold to use the check-in machine. (If you don't support check-in at the front desk, you don't need ２ people at the counter. １ Why don't you stand at the person check-in machine and guide you?) Alpico Hotel Group ”Shoho” It was the decisive factor to use the large bath, but only 10 people can be used per free transfer bus １ flight (１ day ２ flight), and there was no explanation from the front staff. The rooms were not cleaned, dust was accumulated on the desk, refrigerator, and the head of the bed, and the mirror was not wiped. (I went to the front desk and borrowed a rag and cleaned it myself)

We stayed 2 nights at Premier Hotel Cabin. The location is great, just across the train station. The staff are attentive and accommodating. Special thanks to Front Desk Tsunoda-san. He took the initiative to help me call the courier company for my missing package, and liaised with the receiving hotel to ensure safe delivery of my luggage. Breakfast was mostly Japanese style which we liked. We stayed in small Double room which is a bit outdated. Shower tub and sink too small and not good to use. Should get a revamp.

The employee 々 was kind and polite and very sensitivity. However, since it lives in the prefecture, it is a pity that it was politely refused to apply the application of Shinshu accommodation when it offered the application of ”it is not applied if it is not booked by the target plan”. When I stayed at Feena Vista last week, I only booked it normally on the accommodation site at the same time when I checked in, ”the customer lives in Nagano Prefecture, so Shinshu accommodation is applied.” (I didn't know that there was a accommodation fee until then) I was able to fill in the necessary documents on the spot and cash back \5000 (1 night 2 people) when I checked out.

This was one of the more ‘traditional’ hotels in which we stayed. It was on the older side. Our room was in what was described as the annexe. It was a Nice room of decent size. As is typical in Japan everything was provided plus the extra bonus of chargers and a blue tooth speaker if wanted. It was the only hotel during our stay to provide a Nespresso machine. . Very traditional pyjamas i Liked the room as there was a lobby area in which we could accommodate and easily access suitcases without falling over them. There was a Decent size bathroom with a small bath and shower. The whole room was very clean except for some mould on bathroom tiles. The Shower is good if your height is up to about 6’ 2”. Shower head holes needed bit of lime scale cleaning to flow better. Please note- the shower is in deep raised bath. This was Harder for a short person to get in and out. I Thought I would slip so installation of a grab handle or step would be very helpful. The Beds were very comfortable and the single beds are 4’ which is a good size. The Room did get cold but good heating provided. Plenty of plugs. Room was Very quiet. Breakfast mainly traditional Japanese but some limited western food available. Very good Japanese breakfast. Public baths are on site . There is free Shuttle departing at fixed times to the station which you pre book. Suggest you book the night before. There is a small Cafe attached to the hotel with a small shop. Good atmosphere. Very helpful staff. Location within walking distance of anything you want to see in Matsumoto and the station.

I walked from Kita Matsumoto Station to the hotel. ７ minutes? It is a walk arrival. The woman at the front desk had a smile and there was no unpleasant impression. The room was a room with Matsumoto Jo castle on the top floor. Especially at night Matsumoto Jo castle was the best and clean. The room size is a bit small, but I think it is reasonable to think of the price. The public bath is the feeling that it is said to be a small bath. ５ people are full if they enter. Moreover, there was no corona countermeasure at all. It is a breakfast restaurant, but it uses tong in the form of Viking, but the corona countermeasure is halfway and it is not possible. Use of disposable gloves for decadac and finger disinfection at the entrance properly. I didn't use several sets of disposable gloves. The employee doesn't know the face. In addition, there are couples who do not have a mask and are surprised. I think it is better to use care on the hygiene side because it is such a time. Dinner was surprisingly close to Matsumoto station.

The customer service was very good. I felt polite and sincere. The meal was similar and great. The quality of dinner was high and the menu for children was also considered. Breakfast was delicious regardless of which one was eaten. The customer service and the meal are very satisfactory. I was a little worried about the oldness of the building itself, but I took a room with a view of Lake Suwa, so I could enjoy the scenery.
