Very disappointing stay. the website says they offer dinner so we booked dinner for every night, which was confirmed by the hotel. When we got there, the front desk told us that the chef wasn't free the first two nights so we don't have dinner for the those nights. They were not apologetic and just told us to go somewhere else.. bathrooms were also tiny. Almost impossible to help my toddler bathe. Room service was also non existent. We had to take out our own trash, which I've never had to do at a hotel.

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.

Hotel is in a quite location. Block F of Wadano. Close to the Sakka chair (5-10 min walk) and close to Genki-Go bus stop (4-5 min walk). Hotel is new and is clean with an onsen. Negatives are that there is little to no dinner options nearby (walking distance) so you will likely need to go into Happo town to eat - dont forget to reserve. Only other negative is the hotel seemed to have an odd noise to do with either hot water or sewage draining not sure which. The noise is enough to keep you awake.

Great place to stay, comfortable, roomy and clean. Bit far from the main area ( shops and grocery stores) but the lodge will take you around in their own vans, alternatively you can take the shuttle bus to the slopes. Walking distance to Sakke slope and spicy rental is down the street.
