Toyoko Inn Maibara eki Shinkansen Nishi guchi

Nice breakfast. Good view, could be better if would have been towards to the Biwa lake, but everyone cannot have it.

Typical Toyoko Inn so there's underbed storage, inadequate curtains to keep out the light, and good climate control. The problem was I had a top floor room but there must not have been people below me for floors or something because the floor was so cold it felt refrigerated. I cranked the heater but since it's at the ceiling it heats the room top down so the floor stayed really cold, like refrigerated cold. It took until the next morning where the floor didn't feel refrigerated but still was unusually cold and not until that evening the floor finally didn't feel cold. Breakfast was really sparse, just bread and onigiri. I would prefer them to just say no breakfast and just have coffee then I would prepare by going to the conbini the night before.

Nice staff, great but small room.

Consistent with what I’ve come to expect from this reliable chain. A simple Japanese business hotel — compact rooms, clean, and efficiently run with friendly service. Laundry facilities were handy and worked well. The town itself is small and quiet, but I had no trouble finding a decent place for dinner on a Sunday night just a short walk away. Breakfast was limited but perfectly fine for what it is. A solid, dependable stay.

Price very reasonable. Space ok
