"I have never had a bad stay at this hotel. I’ve visited this hotel 3 times since July of 2025. This last stay I had mistakenly hit the button for Single Smoking Room. When I discovered my mistake, the front desk staff quickly sorted me, and didn’t charge extra for a double room Non Smoking! The restaurants here are also delicious!"

"The staff were very hospitable, and the food was delicious."

"The staff was very friendly. However, the hotel has come into age . Wallpaper was falling off throughout the building, clean sleeping sheets were provided, but the interior was dirty"

"We loved our time at this ryokan. The hosts were wonderful, and so accommodating. The room was huge and very comfortable."

"This deserves much more than an 8.4 rating. We had one of the best ski stays ever at the Arai and we’ve stayed at Chamonix, Aspen, Jackson Hole, and Big Sky. The hospitality and food was amazing with some of the best service possible. The price was so much more reasonable than any other US destination. Thank you Lotte Arai."
