Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, a mix of traditional Japanese and Western style, and had convenient amenities like a massage chair and multiple toilets. However, they felt a little dated. The service was excellent with friendly and English-speaking staff, although there was a hiccup with one member at the travel center. The location was convenient, close to the ski slopes and other facilities, but the uphill walk could be tiring with luggage. The dining experience, while Japanese-oriented, provided a decent selection to fuel up before hitting the slopes. Overall, a comfortable choice with some minor drawbacks.
