Itoen Hotel Asama no Yu

With the Early Bird 60 discount, we were able to stay at a very reasonable price.One hair dryer in the large public bath changing area was broken, so we had to wait for one to become available.The Room and the Facility overall are old, but well maintained and clean.The meals included all-you-can-drink, so we could drink without hesitation, and the food was fairly tasty for the price.However, it was disappointing that the next day’s tennis tournament social gathering had exactly the same dishes. It’s not really suited for a Multiple Night Stay.

After having dinner in downtown Matsumoto, I was looking for an Accommodation nearby where I could enjoy an Onsen and avoid the hassle of breakfast. While some aging of the Facility is unavoidable, the interior has been renovated and felt clean. There is only one large public bath, but it is a proper Onsen, and I was more satisfied than with the unit bath in a Business Hotel. The breakfast buffet also had plenty of variety and was more than sufficient. The staff were attentive and pleasant. At this price, I felt it offered excellent value compared with staying at a Business Hotel.
