Shiraishi Island Ski Vacations

The room was a bit dated, but clean and well appointed. The front desk staff was helpful whenever we had questions and we enjoyed the pianist in the lobby.

This should not be rated as a four-star hotel, a three-star is more appropriate. I paid more per night at this hotel than what i paid at the Grand Hyatt five-star hotel and the difference between the two are huge. This hotel is in need of updates and it shows in so many ways. I've never been in a hotel here in Japan where the air conditioning unit goes one way (in winter, where the heater is turned on, you cannot set the a/c to cooling if your room gets too hot. All you can do is turn off the a/c unit and wait for the room to cool off). No gym. You'd have to go somewhere else to work out. The lobby just looks sad. I really don't know how they can charge this much for this quality. You're better off going to the Granvia next door.

The hotel room and amenities were super clean and the view from my room and the garden were spectacular. The only negative is that you have to take a taxi in and out of the hotel which is quite expensive.

Big beds and enough space to get rest

Lovely room in a lovely boutique hotel. Clean, spacious, well appointed, and a great shower. 2-minute walk from the train station and a short walk to the historic quarter. Just be aware that they changed the checkout time to 10. (Some of their materials still say 11 and we had factored that into our plans.)
