Disliked: Cleanliness
It’s super close to a chair lift up Happo Mountain and a fantastic restaurant, The Rabbit Hole. Also close walking distance from other bus services. The Hot Pot meal was sensational! They’re very rigid with the hotel shuttle service, specifically if you’re not an “apartment resident”. It can be quite rowdy if people staying in room above. Was a bit unclean and not exactly value for money. Would suggest booking direct and packing ear plugs.
