Toyoko Inn Joetsu myoko eki Nishi guchi

We stayed here to go to lotte arai to snowboard/ski. We appreciated the proximity to train station, its literally across the street. We were also happy that they accepted yamato delivery of our skis. Theres a few izakayas around but food is not nearly as abundant and good as tokyo. The front desk were friendly and willing to help, but not great english, they do use a hand held translator to help. They do breakfast in the morning (warning, its a japanese breakfast - seaweed, soups, salmon, savories) but they do have a coffee machine downstairs which we were thankful for. There is a free shuttle to lotte arai (that you need to book in advance ****). Overall great value for our stay, would stay here again if on budget.

It was a great way to break up my trip from Tokyo to Osaka, going the northern route through Hokuriku. The hotel itself and the rooms were clean and good quality. And the price was fantastic. The breakfast was also delicious. I'll definitely stay there again. And next time I'll visit the spa next door.

We stayed here for one night visiting cherry blossom festival near Takada Castle. The hotel is 2 min by foot from the railway station, which is convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful, rooms clean and breakfast tasty. We got a room with a beautiful view to the mountains. There is a public onsen just at the corner, so you can relax there in the evening after a long walk as we did.

Toyoko hotel is very economical. Hotel is next to the Shinkansen station, and the area is quiet. Nice buffet style breakfast. Supermarkets are only 5 minutes away by car. The bathroom has a rain shower, or you can use the regular shower. The King bed was huge.

Very conveninet for both train arrival and with a car, japanese style breakfast is healthy and hearthy, many options including fresh croissant.
