Vale also uses the same onsen
Breakfast:
Octoberfest
Crazy amount of people

Food Ok
Ambience old like a canteen
Lunch/Dinner:
The mall looks like it used to stuck
in the 80s with not many restaurant choices
Better off go to the restaurants just outside of hotel
Ski Lockers:
Handy but very run down looking
Overall:
We paid USD390/night but didn't enjoy the overall experience and the tour group like canteen feel at breakfast. It gives a very 80s vibe that wasn't very appealing. Will definitely not come back."
