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.

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 .
