Maishima Sports Island Ski Vacations

The hotel is a bit underwhelming. I still do not understand why it is rated so highly on Expedia. It feels more like an okay apartment (nothing fancy) than a hotel. The bed covers were stained with what looked like blood, and they had to move me to a different room. The AC was very loud, and I had to use air plugs to sleep (it is very warm in Kyoto in the summer, so sleeping without AC was not an option). Also, the windows are blurred, so you do not get any view. The location is okay, as it is not far from Kyoto station. Some nice things, the place might be ideal if you are traveling in a large group (my room had two queen beds and a sofa that could transform into a third bed). It also had a four persons dinning table, a properly sized fridge and freezer, a microwave and a washing machine, so it may also be ideal for long stays.

Convenient location because walkable to many places. Has washer/dryer. Multiple Convenient stores across or a few steps from hotel with money exchange ATM machine. Love blackout feature in the room. Has umbrellas in lobby for hotel guests on rant days.

Rooms were large and spacious. Some staff was friendly. Most of the hotel is outdated. Rooms are clean but very old and need major updates. Gym is old and staff is not that friendly. Pool is an additional fee and if you want a chair on the pool deck that’s even more. I spent 8000 yen for one day at the pool! Check in staff turned us away because we arrived 10 minutes early. Location is nice and central to trains and some decent spots within walking distance. Restaurants in hotel were overpriced especially for the quality of food offered. Got the feeling they weren’t to happy to have non Japanese speaking tourists around.

Nice hotel
