Okura Act City Hotel Hamamatsu
The room was spacious and clean. Furnishings are dated. There is no elevator security, so anyone can travel the elevators. Breakfast buffet was decent. We stayed 3 nights. We came for the musical instrument museum .

Dormy Inn EXPRESS Toyohashi Hot Spring
Everything was perfect. I loved the room, little welcome gifts they gave us, the bath, the sauna, the high-tec hair dryer, room wear, the free late-night noodles, I mean everything! From my next trip, I will definitely look for a hotel of the same group wherever I go.
