9.4/10 Exceptional! (312 reviews)
Nice new hotel with spacious room and nice bathroom. It is a block from the train station and bus terminal so it is easy to explore the regions such as Zao Onsen and Yamadera. The hotel restaurant is one of the best serving famous local beef and hotel guests have a decent discount. Highly recommended ...

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)
Room was a good size and beds comfy. Liked how we could adjust the air con to either heating or cooling and not just set on one or the other. We stayed in South Tower and quiet. Walked out of the train and straight to the hotel so good.
