Richmond Hotel Matsumoto
Clean room. Lovely staff. Great amentities. Great shower. I found the mattress firm but thats just me. We had no AC or heat in our room due to a malfunction but a lovely girl at the front desk brought us a Dyson heater to use.

Toyoko Inn Matsumoto-eki Higashi-guchi
Good free japanese food buffet for breakfast! The hotel is literally right next to Matsumoto Station. Good restaurants in neighborhood, easy 10-12 minute walk to Matsumoto Castle. The reason not 5 stars is cuz room is super small even for Japanese rooms or maybe it was the layout that made if feel ...

Iroha Grand Hotel
This is an excellent hotel for one or two nights ( the rooms are small) but very clean, with helpful staff and in a very convenient location only 5 minutes walk from the station and 10 minutes walk to Matsumoto castle. The room rate was very good and this hotel offers good value.
