Mihama Holiday Rentals

"The Mercure at Lake Biwa in Nagahama is a lovely hotel with stunning views. It has the proximity to the Nagahama Castle, train station and historical town as attractions. If you arrive early you can store your luggage easily at the entrance. It is secure storage. You unlock a locker, enter a 4 digit code and switch it to lock. This is very convenient. Check in is a bit heinous. The line is usually long until after 5 pm. But seamless even for a non-Japanese patron. You can wait out the line in the free reception. There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and bar snacks. The room is nice but dated. I would not sleep on the foldout couch. Maybe just for children 6-10 years old. The beds are okay but not the most comfortable. They provide basic amenities such as a toothbrush and dispenser shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. However, they do not provide washcloths or body scrubbers. The public bathing area was okay but needed maintenance. Free WiFi with providing your email address is a nice benefit. Now the really bad news… dinner. The hotel has a dinner buffet at ¥9300 per adult! That is a ridiculous price. But they have you hostage. We walked the area around the cultural area park where the hotel is located. We found only one yakatori bar open and it had a 1.5 hour waitlist. You would need to go to the other side of the train station to get dinner. We decided to buy carry out cold food from the grocery on the other side of the train station. 7-11 is a 15 min walk"

"アメニティーが部屋のタイプ毎に違うのは初めてだった"

"For the amount paid, I was pretty disappointed. It was a bad location to have as our base in Tsuruga and it was very dated. The amenities all needed payment if you wanted to use them, even the gym! The staff were all kind. I think there are better options for a stay in Tsuruga."

"Hotel is nice decorated with hot spring. It is good to enjoy our stay."

"clean good breakfast nearly seven eleven and Aeon"

"Room was clean and staff were friendly and helpful with arranging taxis. Hotel location makes it hard to access purely with public transport and walking."

"Amazing and helpful staff, thank you!"

"The young woman at the front desk was so helpful and kind!"

"古民家らしさと田舎の静けさを味わえ、のんびりと時間を過ごせました。 近くにコンビニはありませんが、海にも町にも20分と利便性もよいです。 オーナーさんがお野菜や湧き水を置いていてくれたりと、心遣いがよいですら、 "
