Pretty cool onsen when you could see Hikone castle all lit up (until 9pm). They also served free drinks after the onsen such as lemon water or black bean tea. If you reached before 10pm, you could get a free beer too. Breakfast was also good. I like the selection of jams and the miso soup. Amenities in the room was good too. The bed was comfortable!
The hotel is of excellent quality, but the room is slightly small. Very good location, close to Yangen. At night the hotel will be the moat lights, plus Yangen itself, you can sit in the hotel bar to enjoy the night. The evening bar offers free beer and juice drinks for guests to enjoy.
Take a combi ticket and visit the museum. Wel worth a visit.
