I chose this hotel for its location next to a ski resort and I liked the look of the tatami rooms. This hotel is very cheap and you get what you pay for. The room was small and old, the futon mattresses you use to make your bed were thin and I woke up achy every day. The staff were helpful and friendly with limited English. We tried a meal at the hotel and were asked to pay in advance and then given no menu - we just got what was given (which wasn’t bad actually). Theu have their own rental for ski equipment which was handy. There were no other families here (I have a wife and kid) and it was all young people. There was a shared bathroom and the showers were communal and in the hot spring pool room. So if you are on a tight budget and young you could do worse (especially as similar properties in the area seemed to have similar facilities at a higher price - and en suite facilities are rare). But if you are older and or need a bit more luxury - no. They only provided hand towels free - larger you had to pay for. Really guys?
