Owani Onsen Ski Resort

From the moment I left the lobby, the hotel felt dated. Then I spent a night here; I could hear snoring from a a neighboring room, all night long. And the bed was fine for sleeping on, but it sure wasn't comfortable for sitting on. **Positives: *The front desk was friendly. *The AC/dehumidifier got the job done, provided I wasn't expecting a quick reaction from it. *The bathroom was spacious and the shower was warm and inviting. *Coin laundry: 300en wash + 200en/30min dryer; dryer took 2 cycles to get stuff nice and dry. (Total: 700en) **Neutral: Physical keys (rather than keycards), adding to the 'dated' feel of the hotel. But not a big deal, I suppose. **Negatives: * The hotel was a 20min walk or so from the station; there are busses that will take you from the station to near the hotel, although I never rode them. *As mentioned earlier, the bed wasn't comfortable for sitting on...which I do a lot of, with my laptop, working. *The walls were thin. REALLY thin. *My eyes itched while I was here. Not entirely sure I can blame it on the hotel, but still...ugh. *"Pretty nice hotel" price; "mediocre hotel" actuality. No thanks.
