Actually, I believe they
do permit multiple simultaneous bathhouse reservations (up to 2 persons ]at a time). That being said, both on this stay and my previous stay I had the place all to myself aside for one 30 min overlap with another guest (I assume he had a reservation).

True, but the guest rooms don't have two saunas and a separate cold pool. There's definitely no need to use the bathhouse if you don't want to. I agree the space is small (I much prefer the onsen setup at the PH Niseko) but I still appreciate it as an amenity.
