Stayed recently for one night with family. Used 25K Points at a date where paid rates were around 40,000 Yen for a basic room. Location is convenient for skiing in winter and hiking in summer.

As a big plus for families most rooms at this hotel, including the Japanese Western Superior Basic rooms, have a maximum occupancy of 4 to 5 people. We were upgraded to a Premium room with Onsen, with two single beds and place for two futons. In-room-onsen means that the room has an onsen style bathtub instead of a standard bathtub. Additionally there is also a communal onsen, with a Rotenburo, in the second floor of the hotel, operating from 6:00 to 10:00 and 15:00 to 24:00.

Elite recognition was surprisingly good. Although it’s a Courtyard Plats and above get free buffet breakfast for up to two adults at the Lavarock restaurant worth 3564 Yen per person, additionally to the welcome gift of 500 points or snack and drink amenity. The breakfast buffet was approximately of the same quality as at the other Japanese Mori Trust Marriotts. Further, there is a happy hour in the lobby from 15:00 to 18:00 where elite guests (up to two persons per room) can get free soft drinks, beer and wine.

Would stay again without hesitation when visiting the area again.
