Disliked: Staff & service
Staff insist that there's dinner included when check in which I doubt. I go ahead with dinner even though was not feeling too great and did not finish the whole meal course. Upon check out I was then told that I have to pay $3300 yen for dinner by another staff. The check in staff did not convey the cost of the dinner at at all.

The staff was very welcoming. We loved the craft beer happy hour and our private outdoor bath. We also loved the local people we met eating outside of the hotel and shopping for pottery. We stayed for the proximity to Zao Aki resort. We didnt use it but there was a free shuttle for that.

The breakfast is truly an amazing value!! Such an abundance of healthy, hearty food for 500 yen. The bath is quite nice! The lobby and lounge areas are super swanky, too! The single-person room was good enough for me! A complementary snack and teabags, with a hot water pot and a pitcher of ice water provided. Very polite and kind staff at checkin, breakfast, and checkout. They also held my luggage for the day after checkout.

Good hotel for a night stop

Middle of the road hotel. Clean and reasonably spacious room. Has a rooftop onsen. Breakfast was good. Like a lot of hotels in Japan slightly outdated. Value for money.

After ski hotel

No too far from Zao onsen ski area (30 min by car) quiet lication, great staff waiting for us, nice onsen on the roof to relax! Good wifi! Negative side: room outdated, carpet with lots of stains, matress and pillows not comfortable at all, bar was clise at 20:00.... room temperature control difficult. But at usual in Japan the staff service was excellent! A bit over price due to outdated of the room!

総じて素晴らしい。

 各地の露天風呂付き部屋を宿泊したけど、ここのお湯は源泉を使うのでプライベートで時間を問わずゆっくりと温泉を楽しむことが出来た。  夕食は美味しく量も多く、お酒は飲み放題でコスパは素晴らしい。  唯一気になったのは、大浴場の外にある露天風呂に行くのに横の階段を使わねければならないけど、同じ階の客室から丸見えだった。
これら以外にビールとワイン4本も飲み放題。
