Poor service & housekeeping. Great dinner.

Pluses: 1. The best thing about this hotel is the dinner buffet, included in the price. It was exceptional. There was a large variety of meat, seafood, vegetables, starches, and desserts. The grilled beef was fantastic. It was butter soft, and almost melted in your mouth. 2..The rooms are clean and spacious and have an understated elegant classic feeling typical of Japanese esthetics. Minuses: 1. Service here is mediocre. The staff seems like they’re just going through the motions, without a true spirit of omotenashi. 2. The bathroom felt very old (not classic), maybe dating to the 1980s. Turning one of the knobs in the bathroom sink provided no water at all — how can the maids not notice this and report it? Do they not clean the sink? 3. The room: desperately need blackout curtains, especially since the sun rises at 345am! It was so bright we could not sleep. Just awful. 4. We found a dirty pair of reading glasses someone had left behind on the nightstand. How can housekeeping miss this? Overall: This was probably once a phenomenal resort. It could be again, with some updating, better maintenance and better service. But in its current state, it’s mediocre and overpriced. Come for the dinner, not the room.

Beautiful Onsen Retreat

Amazing property in a small town, which was made even more spectacular in winter. The property offers a courtesy shuttle to pick you up from Abashiri station, as it is a ways away from any station. Only word of caution is to check the shuttle schedule on the website as the station is extremely small, which not much near by. The property itself has a beautiful onsen, divided by gender, with an indoor and outdoor bath. There is also a hot stone room, and a sauna. The dinner was wonderful and they provided options for vegetarians, if necessary. There is also a juice and tea area, and you can roast marshmallows by the fire inside. There is also a foot bath located outside, which is very enjoyable, however the walk can require a bit of courage during the winter nights ;)

Luxurious resort but bathroom needs sprucing up

Having stayed with the Tsuruga group of resorts before, I had high expectations of this resort. We stayed there for 3 nights and had the suite with private hot springs on the first night - it was as expected, a fantastic experience. We took 2 deluxe rooms for the second and third night and we were disappointed with the extremely small bathroom/toilet. The deluxe rooms themselves were bigger than the average room so no issue with that - it's just the bathroom/toilet. I never expected something like this so it was a bugbear for us. It was a tight squeeze for one person in the bathroom and thank goodness we visited the onsen nightly and we actually had our bath there instead. I will not give up on the Tsuruga resorts - they are known for their service, hospitality and luxury. They just need to do something about the bathroom/toilet. Other than that, it was a good stay with good food. There's even a self-service laundry that one can use for free (just need to purchase detergent). Location is quiet but I wished it did overlook Lake Abashiri but the greenery was good too.

Great hotel

Awesome place. I spent three nights here. You can enjoy hot spring with great scenery in your room. Also, the hotel offers free breakfast/dinner/ramen/bar coupon if you stay 2nd floor (the floor for inside hot spring rooms) Overall nice hotel with appropriate price range. Staffs are not overly kind and it was good enough. Lounge/library/bar/music room are very cozy!

Nice Hotel, But Where Is the Lake?

Nice generally, food was very good for our half board stay. Despite leaving usual requests like non smoking room high floor with lake/sea views, this family of four was given a smoking room, partially deordourized, on the third floor with hardly any view of the lake, as I recalled the booking was on one with lake view. The room was also right in front of the lift lobby. This was the most expensive room that I booked for or Hokkaido trip, and one reward night was used to cover in part the hotel charge. It was kind of disappointmentfor the room, but we liked the hotel very much, the hot bath, live music play over dinner, entertainmentareas, free coffee corner, and many more to commend (except.the room that we were given)
