The staff was friendly and professional! The hired personnel really makes this place! The rooms are a little dated but it just adds to the charm of the experience. I enjoyed staying here and would recommend! The women onsen was also great and super relaxing!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Great location, friendly staff. Enjoyed daily welcome drinks. However the hotel needs a good refresh. Carpet in the hallways were worn and stained. Shower curtain in our room was very mouldy.
Hotspring was very nice. I didnt stay due to the skiing aspect. But they are well equipped for it. Great quality of food for their breakfast and supper buffets. The staff were very kind even though i dont speak a lot of japanese.
Overall the stay was ok. They had free hot tea which was great when it was so cold out, but the room was very dated. Also, (just FYI) the hotel staff doesn't speak much English and you need a dinner reservation if you want to eat at the hotel- becides a little restaurant near the back of the hotel (which was good!)
