I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located right in front of Hikone Castle. The modern design and cleanliness were impressive, and I really enjoyed the extensive breakfast spread. Although the dining options for dinner were great, being able to order a la-carte means there's potential to try more local dishes, and the convenience of being close to the JR Hikone station is a big plus. However, price-wise, it feels a little on the higher side but worth it for the experience.
