Awesome location close to the ski fields, with staff that were able to inform us of our travel & ticket options. They were always happy to help deal with us four NZers that were often snowy, wet, tired, excitable and un-educated in Japanese custom (but keen to learn).
Super handy in-house Onsen, great to have brekkies with so much range, rooms were warm and dry (good for ski gear), shuttle bus to ski bases super-handy, pillow options was a plus! Some nice gifts in the small shop, lit up snow sculptures, nice body washes & lotions complimentary, close to some awesome restaurants, ski & weather reports on request, train & bus timetables & help to read them. Very few con's to list - perhaps the shower was a bit hot/lukewarm pulsy if you didn't have the setting just right (but barely used it anyway as we were in the Onsen every day), we couldnt fit our skis or boots in the ski drying room as they were too big (wide and tall), room style was dated - but till perfectly clean, tidy and acceptable.
