I like the fact that we don't have to eat there because we are vegetarian and there are restaurants in walking distance that offer vegetarian options

Property was very old and very dusty and smelly in the guest room floor pathway, between elevator doors and elevator lobby. Rooms were spacious but bathroom was vary cramped and the worst was the wifi which was extremely bad as I couldn’t connect and work even for few mins consistently and ended up using my mobile hotspot.
Breakfast was amazing on the contrary and had an amazing spread.
Staff were extremely courteous and helpful.
great place if attending racing at Sportsland Sugo.

We had been here for the summer break. The place was quite neat and tidy. Staff was also very courteous and kind.
Kids had good fun in the onsen, pool, etc. Other activites such as magic show, etc. added to the fun part, as we were able to spend time indoors, during rainy days.
Breakfast options were quite good. We did not opt for the dinner, as the pricing per person was relatively expensive.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay at the resort, and would love to visit there again.

Not worth money.
The rooms smelled bad. The refrigerator didn’t work. The AC did not work. Could not see view out window due to condensation and front desk staff implied I might not be able to afford their dinner buffet just by looking at me. Dinner was overpriced for a buffet at $60 per person. Signs for vending machine where there was none. Futons dirty. Wallpaper peeling. Would not recommend.

Wonderful trip with friends. Check-in and check-out were very fast and easy. Staff was wonderful. Rooms are a bit dated and can use an update. Not being able to control the air conditioning was my only issue.

Clean, large parking area, nice onsen.
However, not sure if it can be called a 3.5 star hotel. More likely between 2.5 - 3 star, as the rooms were at least 40 years outdated.

Better in season
Out of season the hotel was good to for a place to rest, but had a lot of things closed; also they didn’t make it easy to eat in the restaurant. Can tell it is set up a lot better for ski season
