So, you're a tourist with a JR Pass going the distance between Tokyo and Osaka/Kyoto. You're on your way from Tokyo around noon, and you're thinking of stopping over in Nagoya for the night. I would recommend that you get off the train 40 minutes early, check out the Hamamatsu musical instrument museum and the excellent chuubu eats, and stay here, instead. Nothing will match it in Nagoya for the price. You can go to Nagoya in the morning, if you want to check it out. Or, if you're doing a tour of the Toyota plant, get off at Toyohashi for a shortcut to Toyotashi.
I paid about $85 US for an absolutely huge room by Japanese standards, on the 40th floor with an amazing picture window view. The place is clean, the beds are comfortable, the bathroom is a real bathroom instead of a plastic unit bath, and the hallways smell of nutmeg. What more could you ask for?More
