Comfort Hotel Matsuyama
Very servicable business style hotel with decent breakfast (however don't expect gourmet at these prices!!). A bit far from shopping and eating, tho still many choices within 15-20 min walk. 15 min walk from Matsuyama City station (nb this is NOT the JR Station). Good access to trams.
