Appi Kogen Mori No Hotel

Kindness and consideration were abundant everywhere, and the hotel had a great atmosphere and was very comfortable. I was surprised at the service we got for the price. Thank you very much.

The annual ski vacation will be held at the Appi Plateau this time. Since hotels in the ski resort are more expensive, I checked into a hotel with a hot spring nearby to try out. The hotel will arrange a free pick-up and drop-off service at JR. The staff is polite and helpful, great! Accommodation includes two meals, and breakfast is the same set plus a small amount of self-service food every day. Dinner is shabu shabu, charcoal-roasted beef, and sukiyaki, which take turns. The beef is Tazawa beef. Personally, I don’t think the meat quality is 10% outstanding, but it’s acceptable. There is a hot spring in the hotel, and there are two private baths with good facilities. The only less than ideal thing is that the location is far away. If you don't drive the car yourself, you have to take the shuttle bus arranged by the hotel to the ski resort. The daily breakfast time, dinner time, and shuttle bus time need to be prepared and arranged in advance, so you cannot freely and easily decide when to eat, when to go to the ski resort, and when to return every day.

Before staying at this hotel, I stayed at the Crown Hotel in Ambi Ski Resort for five days. Later, when Crown ran out of room, we booked this nearby hotel. The room is very big and clean, the facilities are very new, and the view outside the window is beautiful. Except for convenience, everything else beats Crown. But please note that you must not lose the room key. If you lose it, you will have to replace the entire set of locks and you will be compensated 100,000 yen. Breakfast has few varieties but is filling. We rented a car and drove to the ski resort, which was very convenient. I will stay here again next time I come to Ambi for skiing!

They were very responsive even to last-minute reservations on the same day. After checking in, I was troubled to find out that I couldn't eat and there were no places nearby to eat. I think it would have been better if the information had been listed earlier. The quality of the hot spring water was good and it was soothing.
