We couldn't get a suitable room in Nagoya so opted to stay in Gifu, just a 20 minute JR train ride from Nagoya. Gifu Washington Plaza was easy to find, just a few minutes walk from the station. It was a great choice, and a really nice room for my daughter and I. Everything was clean and the staff was very kind and helpful. Only problem was a fire alarm that rang off and on for about 1/2 and hour one night, which worried us. Staff came down the hall reassuring people it was a false alarm though. Also, we had some hall noise, from people talking loudly while going in and out of rooms. Nothing the hotel could have done anything about, however. The next night everything was quiet, so we had a great night's sleep. Found good eating spots right nearby, and overall enjoyed our stay.
