The stay was comfy. We, like many others, were highly dissatisfied with the included breakfast. The eggs were never cooked. We were literally served raw eggs and toast.

It was a fairly simple stay, with just the basics in the room. Since we live in Japan, were used to certain aspects of a hotel room here, such as a tea kettle and coffee, plus some cups - and we missed those things. On the other hand, it was great to sleep on a bed that was not as hard as most Japanese mattresses. The breakfast was nothing special, but it was definitely appreciated. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and it was a welcome treat to have them all speak English. Overall, the stay was nothing special, but it had everything we needed, and the location was excellent. I would likely stay here again.

We were misdirected to the main madarao hotel then charged $75 to be picked up 60m away before we got there. Orher hotels many kms away took us home due to snow and bus was 1/4 price manny kms further. Meanwhile 3 hotel bus sat idle for next 4 days. Facilities were rundown. No safety rails on stairs to entry or ski store. Drying room heater turned off & foyer to conserve $. Underwhelming brealfast with occasional poor higeine. Requests made, nothing fixed in week multi room 10 pp group include no room heater, leaking toilet, not enough towels for persons booked to rooms, facilities nonexistant compared to claim on booking- infact no fridge, minibar, credit card facility, toiletries, crockery or, cutlery. The one vending machine out of order the whole week was only source of food or drink. Overall worse than a backpackers the locals avoid.

Comfortable and convenient on the ski slopes

A comfortable hotel right on the ski slopes. Could use a bit of maintenance (hotel lost power a few times due to overload but they quickly fixed it each time). But it was clean and comfortable and the staff were incredibly helpful. Convenience of ski hire shop and a great bar and food in the hotel. They also arrange easy trips to the snow monkeys which saved us so much time. Breakfast supplied each morning which was a bonus.

okay hotel, that needs an update

The hotel is a bit of an uphill walk to the actual ski area. It's not too far, about a 10 minute walk which is not bad... but going uphill plus snow and if you're carrying your ski gear, then it gets challenging. The staff was great and very accommodating. The folks at the front desk and ski rental place were very helpful. The facilities however, specially the rooms need some updating. The heating wasn't working well on my 2nd day, and on the third day it was just non-existent for the showers/sink and also for the room. Even without me requesting, the staff provided a portable heater which helped a little and offered extra blankets. Food options in the hotel and nearby - not a lot. Also make sure you bring cash (local currency).

日本人にはお勧めできません

驚くことがたくさんありました。 まず、日本語が通じない。私は英語が理解できますが、話せなかったので、翻訳アプリが必要でした。あと、部屋についてはとても不満でした。バスルームでお湯がでない、ヒーターが壊れている、翌朝8時には電気が使えなくなります。大浴場はシャワールームに改装されていて、湯船に入ることができません。 夕食は近くのレストランで食べたかったのですが、どこも予約しないとだめなようで、仕方なく市街地まで行きました。 ホテルのスタッフは対応が良かったです。 このホテルは外国人専用という感じでしたので、海外旅行に行った気分でした。私と子供は大丈夫でしたが、海外経験のない夫にとってはとても辛い体験でした。
