Hotel Grand Terrace Toyama

Room was large, bigger than what I usually stay in Japan, and also costed less. The lobby was large as well and the staff are accomodating. View from the room was nice as well; there are fewer tall buildings in Toyama so you can see a lot if you're on higher floors. There is also a convenience store nearby, which can be scarce in the area, especially if you're used to bigger cities like Tokyo.

It is quite a walk from the station, around 7 to 10 minutes. The hotel is also showing signs of age (but still completely fine).

An easy walk from Shinkansen station. Free coffee in lobby. Very reasonable price. Convenience store less than a block away. Lobby is extremely nice: spacious, comfortable, upscale. Nice place to sit and talk with a friend. (Loved Toyama, by the way! Hope to return.)

Unlike the lobby, the room was very average and dated. (We already expected that from the online pix.) Room light was rather dim as I recall. With one exception, the staff didn't seem very personal or friendly (unlike all of our other hotel experiences in Japan). We speculated that maybe they're instructed to be that way in order to seem more "professional" in light of the business clientele who come to the hotel for meetings.

Great price/quality. Amazing hotel lobby, which is somehow in a strange contrast with the smaller, more basic room. But for that price you really cannot complain.

Good location near station , Spacious room . Comfortable beds . Door people polite .

The smell of cigarette smoke permeates the entire hotel . As soon as you walk through the front door the smell of smoke is overwhelming . Our room was on a non smoking floor but it still seeped through the AC . The hotel is very worn and old and the old furnishings absorb the old smells. The lifts were out of order while being serviced so we had to use the service lifts . The back of house was even more shabby . We thought of leaving but had prepaid with no refund so tried to make the most of it .
