The hotel was comfortable clean, great view of the mountains. Truly a ski in and out location. Ski lockers on basement floor, you put your skis on and ski down to the family lift, you can get your lift tickets there or online ahead of time. From that lift you can go up to the other lifts. Beginner runs here but with access, to red and black . We loved it would definitely return and recommend. Many of restaurants available in hotel but walking distance. Many rental shops also available nearby.
This hotel is well located well maintained but you should forget Japanese hospitality.
One of the most arrogant attitude i have ever experienced in any hotel. Check in lady was the worst then shift manager lady was no help.
Excellent location, truly ski in ski out, fantastic staff.

Best service in any hotel I’ve stayed in
Incredible service, absolutely faultless the entire time, this might be a 3 star hotel but it felt like a 4 star hotel with 5 star service.

Excellent location and very convenient for ski in/ski out. Nice 2 bed room apartment with all the amenities and nice view on the slopes, especially at night.
Friendly staff, always there to help. Perhaps the only thing missing is a public bath within the property,

What a wonderful place to stay, the staff are super friendly and are very helpful, the view from our room was superb, the easy of ski in and out was awesome with the ace quad just metre down a green run, no need to walk up to the lifts, then up the ace gondola to the other lifts. The apartment amenities were first rate, room sounds proof so it was nice and quiet. I highly recommend the maples
True ski in ski out property! Ski lifts right outside hotel door. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite for 6 nights. In room washing machine was super helpful since we were traveling with kids. Close to restaurants and shopping. Hotel provided transport from hotel to Hirafu Welcome center which is where our shuttle bus from Chitose Airport dropped us off at.
