Hachimantai Hotels with Gym

In the context of a scientific event, I had the chance to stay one full week at the ANA Crowne Plaza Resort. In a few words, I will simply say that this place is amazing, and that I recommend it for a skiing stay in Appi. In terms of the hotel itself, I have found that the staff were friendly, helpful and professional, like it could be expected in Japan. They took care of all the little issues I had during my stay, promptly and without any discussion. I additionally appreciated the “eco-friendly programme” that is offered, in which coupons are provided in exchange of ”no-cleaning room days”. The amenities in the hotel (public baths, souvenir shops, ski rental station) are spot on to make the stay perfect. I would however like to mention that it could even be better with a bar that stays open late (at least until midnight), as this would have prevented me from having to go to the next hotel to get a drink with my colleague. Maybe the bar from the hotel was closed because of the time in the season? Concerning the room I got, it is spacious and comfortable, super clean, although furniture and facilities are a bit old-style. Renewing the bathroom material could be a good item to put on the hotel to-do list, as well as making the room a bit more soundproof and insulated. This would hence prevent cigarette smoke from entering into the room from the outside. Moreover, whereas the bed was very comfortable and allowed for a propre relaxation time after a busy day with work and skiing, I got awakened by the noisy engines of the snow groomers several times during my stay (which is annoying, especially at 5:00 AM). Therefore, I would rank my experience as an average one (neither particularly good nor bad).

Very satisfied with an experience, the hotel is very comfortable, I like the lobby design style very much, warm and atmospheric, the hotel service is very good, the room is very spacious and bright, the winter window is full of snow, the interior is warm like spring, the hotel is also very good, there is an outdoor soup pool, you can see the stars, the snowflakes are floating, Beautiful mood! The breakfast at the accommodation is very rich, the taste is very good, the side dishes are very exquisite. Afternoon tea is great, afternoon 4:30-6:00 lounge time, there is a performance of Italian music masters, very comfortable. Very close to the ski resort, skiing snow every day, soaking in soup, comfortable ～
