Hotel Grand Toya

The location of this property directly in the lakefront was amazing and offered a beautiful view of the lake from the room. The facility is rather dated overall, but the room was clean and stocked with everything we needed for the stay. The parking lot was convenient and free. Another convenience was the hotel's location in front of the tour boat departure point. The only area of disappointment was that the building was very loud, and by 6am or so, we could hear all the activity around the building quite loudly, such as doors being opened and slammed shut. Perhaps this was because our room was in front of the pantry room (which I guessed was the kitchen?). Other than that, this was a good stay and a good value for the price.

The view of Lake Touya was superb. We had a small room for 3 but I didn’t mind. We had somewhat overcast days so the mountains in the lake was a bit blurr but it made the scenery more mythical.

This is an older hotel, and it has its charm. Japanesd style rooms and also common bath area at the basement. Staff were very helpful, one even parked my car, and have English explanation especially for the protocol to use the public bath. Right by the lakeside, and we have a room with great view of lake and mountain. Did not eat there as it was an over nighter for us. Good place to experience onsen, Japanese style room, reminding me of ryokans.

All good, but onsen could do with a clean/update
