Fodor's Expert Review Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nagano Zenkoji-guchi

A coffee table and two easy chairs are squeezed into each compact Western-style room here, which is all you need if you're en route to other Alps destinations. The guest rooms are warmly decorated with wood paneling from Nagano forests, and all rooms have free Wi-Fi. The escalator across the street from JR Nagano Station leads to the reception area and tea lounge. There's another branch on the opposite side of the station, but this one is more convenient for catching the bus or walking up the road to Zenko-ji Temple.
