Worn out room and a 9 am checkout was very early

Rug was grubby looking, this was the only place where we did not want to walk around barefoot and used slippers in the room. Really didn't like the fabric toilet seat cover. Onsen was small. Checkout at 9 am too early!

We had a great view of the ski slope and it was nice and close to slope so we could walk to it and ski down to ticket office. It was situated up the hill but we didnt mind walking into the village for dinner each night. It was only about 5-10 min walk. Rooms were adequate... bathrom small but thankful we had private one. Enough room to unpack suitcase and snowboard stuff. Drying room was nice and warm and plenty of space.

Nice staff, good onsen

Nice staff, even if they can’t speak English. The hotel has a good onsen, but quite small. The hotel is far from the bus station, cannot walk

Close to skii slopes.

Great location if you are planning on skiing.
Cosy little hotel, alittle tired, but clean.
Staff very hospitable, and pleasant,only to keen to try and help .Not a lot of English.
Service was great.They pick up and drop off as required, this made it much easier to get around.
Could rent skis from there, as well as pay for lift pass.
Could also purchase other day tours from there.
Breakfast was great.

價格親民但老舊

老舊的旅館,從館內的設備跟裝潢可以知道已經經營許久。服務上明顯感受到人手不足,簡單的櫃檯服務就需要花很多時間等待。
雖然價格親民,不過還是希望至少可以提供正常的冷暖氣設備,房間內只有一台電暖器供2房使用,另外一間房間簡直比冷凍庫還冷。

到着したら予約が受理されていなかった...

ホテル側が予約を管理出来ておらず到着後にHotels.comさん経由で交渉してもらうハメに。幸い空き室があり1時間待たされたものの何とか難を逃れたがヘトヘト。この件についてホテル側からは一切の詫びも釈明も無く不快だった。その他のサービスや設備自体は問題無く感じたので単に従業員の問題だったのか?

2.溫泉♨️很細,只能容納3人
3.在房間浴室洗澡後,整個浴室有2吋水,流到房間外,非常狼狽,是我在日本住過最差勁的一間飯店

ゲレンデまでは、近いが、リフト乗り場までは
滑って降りないと行けない。
15分歩かないと、周りに何もない。

エクスペディアで、こちらを予約した際に、夕飯のメニューの記載がなかったので、なんだろうと思っていたら、つくね鍋だった。

周りは、山形牛のすき焼き、コース料理をたべてるのに、家だけやっすい感じが分かる、普通の土鍋でした。

席も考えて欲しかった。
隣はすっごい豪華なコース料理、うちは、つくね鍋で、野菜、つくね、をテーブルにドンって置いてあるだけで、後はセルフで恥ずかしかった。

料金の割には、手抜きの料理でガッカリしました。
