Wonderful and Tranquil Stay

Wonderful hotel and resort. The hotel architecture is wonderful. The hotel room view capture a beautiful snowy landscape with a lake. The view gave me a sense of tranquility with a cozy ambience. The hotspring was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. One staff even drove me from hotel to the hotspring site. I really appreciated the helpfulness. The Japanese breakfast was tasty and remarkable. The transportation to the outlet and train station is convenient

職員態度親切,十分誠懇去解說及提供接送服務,整體酒店服務質素高及整潔,唯獨此酒店可能是該集團最舊的一間,房間感覺有點老舊,而且溫泉需往東及西那兩酒店才可享用,有點不方便,可幸還有免費的穿梭巴士,尚能補救不足

골프장뷰가 아름답습니다. 정원도 아름답고. 방상태나 청결상태 좋았어요. 아쉬운 점은 침대 매트리스가 허리부분이 꺼져있는 점, 이 호텔에는 온천이 없어 셔틀타고 이동해야한다는 점. 아 라운지 음료 무제한여서 좋아요. 생맥주도 제공.
