Hotel JAL City Nagano
Didn’t utilise everything it had to offer but all in all, it’s a cozy hotel, with good staff. Doesn’t have heaps to offer but it forces you to explore and not stay in your room. If there was any complaints, it’s that the room was really warm and you couldn’t change the air con, but nothing opening ...

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nagano Zenkojiguchi
Good cost performance, clean, comfortable, nice staff, and very good location. The only (minor) negative point was that there were only 2 washing machines in the hotel, so was a bit of a struggle to use one.
