Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
I’ve stayed here countless times and usually it’s a great experience but this time was quite the exception. The staff at check-in (first time seeing this staff) was quite…rude or unfriendly for lack of a better word. No greeting upon check in (after saying checking in and giving my name), I hand my residence card (didn’t ask if it’s ok to make a copy like usual), the room was for two guests (one key this time), and didn’t even tell me the room number (just handed me the slip of paper). Room was clean but quite low water pressure, but the first time experiencing this as well, so perhaps just an older room.

Great Hotel Near Station
APA HOTEL〈BIWAKO SETA-EKIMAE〉had great staff, some of which spoke English. The WIFI worked well, and the rooms were clean. The hotel is next to Seta station, it is also close to shopping and restaurants.
