"The property is nice, the onsen is a terrific feature and the staff were excellent and helpful with our many questions for inbound/outbound travel. However, for upwards of $400 per night, the dining options were rather basic and, given the hotel's somewhat remote location, the sporadic shuttle schedule and drop-off locations made the ski resorts somewhat of a challenge to reach."

"We arrived at the hotel around 10 pm and there was noone at the desk.The keys were in envelopes on the desk with instructions. Our bags (that were shipped) were just unsecured. No instructions on the location of the elevator which was in the other wing (A). No locks on lockers for your ski equipment. There was no TV or WiFi (except inside the guest lounge). Bathrooms are communal and not every floor has one. Communal showers are in the basement. Just a very generic room. There were 3 of us, so we were in a small room with no dressers or closet. Our sleeping arrangement was 1 single bed and a bunk bed. The only positive to this place is it is a stone’s throw from the Happo ski resort. Just be prepared to have your clothes/bags strewn across the room. This is more a hostel than it is a hotel. "

"The stay is modest and older but that’s totally fine! The host is so kind and helpful and the beds and bathrooms were clean! It’s def a place you can meet other travelers and is SO close to the train station!"

"It's a stunning hotel from the time you roll towards Hotel Green Plaza. When you get inside, again some wow factors, some very old vintage structural engineering marvels which you have got to appreciate. Ski-in-ski-out lockers for hotel guests are good, access to cortina is right out the door. Buffet breakfast has a good selection, dinner is also good. Can get extremely crowded during peak times. Rooms are nice with a blend of tatami x western style bedding - however mattresses were quite old for our rooms. You can defintely feel a difference after skiing/snowboarding all day. Location is a bit out of the way and buses can skip the resort so you should either have your own vehicle for convenience or need to plan very well for the shuttle bus. Overall we enjoyed or stay "

"Pros: The staff is very friendly, the location is great, and the room is clean. Cons: The building is just too old (ie. the curtains really need to be replaced. Even though the room is clean, everything feels very dated.) Overall: It was a nice stay, but the price is too high for how old the hotel is. If the price was cut in half, it would be a great deal. At full price, it is hard to recommend until they do some renovations."

"Great place to stay and fantastic location. My only complaint is that the bathroom was very cold."

"Large rooms. Excellent onsen and outdoor pool and sauna. Direct access to the ski area. Ski in and out. Free shuttle to Minami-Otari train station. Very reasonable lift ticket prices that allowed you to ski Norikusa and Cortina. Staff very helpful as well. All around great place to stay. "

"The room we booked wasn’t available. We were out in an apartment that was far away from everything. There was no cab service available. The apartment was smelly and old. Obviously the owner had an issue with the neighbours because they pushed all the snow from the whole road in front of our entrance door so that we were not able to leave because we couldn’t open the door. The owner did nothing. Alpine lodge doesn’t have an onsen or breakfast and the owner is terrible. It was the worst experience we ever had. At the end the owner said he would give us a discount and refund some money which never happened!! "

"I would avoid staying here unless nothing else is available. It was very expensive for the condition and cleanliness of the hotel room. The shower had mold on the ceiling, walls, in the fan vent, and on the curtain. There was dust and debris indicating the room isn't dusted or vacuumed much, if at all. At $500 a night it was not worth the money. The hotel overall was in need of maintenance and cleaning. The onsen was amazing and clean. The staff was very friendly! The location is fantastic being a 3 min walk to sakka lift at happo one. The hotel has a shuttle that helps get you out in the morning and return in the afternoon. Overall pass unless the price comes down to match what is offered. Or the hotel goes through a deep clean and maintenance. "
