The hotel has a decent location at Joetsu Kokusai, making it a great spot for skiing and snowboarding. The staff was friendly, and the shuttle service was a nice perk. However, the rooms need an update, and the breakfast, while plentiful, could use some variety. Overall, it offers reasonable value for money considering the amenities, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, but there were some drawbacks. The location was fantastic, being close to the ski ground and offering a free shuttle service. The rooms were clean, although the air conditioning didn't quite do the job during the summer heat. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which was a big plus. However, the breakfast options could use some improvement and the rooms could be better equipped for comfort.

While the hotel has an amazing location and the service was genuinely friendly, I found the rooms to be old and small, which wasn't ideal, especially since the air conditioning struggled during the summer heat. The dining offered a nice variety, and the amenities were decent, but I felt the overall value could have been better given the room situation.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is nestled in the beautiful mountains. The location is pretty amazing, with easy access to the ski areas and a short bus ride to town. The rooms were a bit dated and small for my family, yet they were clean and the bathroom setup was nice. The service was fantastic; everyone was really friendly and helpful, especially with our ski equipment rentals. It’s a great place for families, but the early sunlight streaming in at 4 AM was a bit bothersome.
