Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers basic rooms but falls short for a 4-star hotel in terms of quality considering the price. The complimentary self-pour wines, tea, coffee, and sweet treats were nice touches. The location is picturesque and convenient for accessing ski parks, with excellent shuttle services. The dining provides a wide selection but lacks variety. The service is friendly and efficient, with good hot springs facilities.
The hotel offers spacious rooms, although the bedroom can be a bit warm, especially in the older wing. The service is top-notch with efficient and friendly staff ready to assist. The location is ideal for those seeking a peaceful setting close to ski locations, but it may require some planning for transportation. The dining experience is pleasant with a variety of delicious options for both Western and Japanese cuisine.
The hotel offers clean and very comfortable rooms, though fairly basic. The service is incredible with professional and outstanding staff. The location is convenient for accessing ski resorts and provides a warm welcome. The dining options are tasty and include a wide range of choices. The facilities are well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were spacious and not cramped at all, exceeding the typical room size in Japan. Although the bedroom was a little warm, it didn't hinder my comfort. The service was exceptional, with enthusiastic staff who went above and beyond, despite a minor language barrier. The location was perfect for those looking for a peaceful retreat amidst popular ski mountains. The dining experience, while more towards the western style, offered a good variety of Japanese and Western options that changed daily. Overall, a great value for the price.
