The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Superb Dining Experience

I was thoroughly impressed with the dining options available at the hotel. The French restaurant offered an excellent dinner that truly felt like a gourmet experience, complemented by an excellent wine list. The Japanese restaurant, while a bit more basic, was still quite enjoyable. Overall, the food quality was really good, making our stay even more nice.

Relaxing Onsen Experience

The onsen facilities were a highlight of my stay. There's nothing better than soaking in the hot springs after a long day on the slopes. The combination of relaxation and stunning views created an incredibly tranquil atmosphere. It truly rejuvenated my muscles after skiing!

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The cleanliness and comfort levels were impressive, particularly the luxurious bedding provided. However, the dining options left much to be desired, especially the breakfast, which was chaotic and lacked sufficient choices. The facility, notably the exercise room, was great, but there were some hiccups in service during my stay. Overall, it's a decent place for a ski trip, but improvements are needed in several areas.

This hotel is well-positioned near the slopes, making it a great option for skiing enthusiasts but it feels somewhat lacking in character. The rooms are spacious and clean, though staying in the Tower is a better choice. Dining can be on the pricey side and the service, while generally good, had its moments. I would recommend this hotel for its skiing but be prepared for some areas that could use improvement.

I had a pretty good time at the hotel during my two-night stay. The room was clean and the bedding was luxurious, but it felt a bit sparse. The dining options were excellent at the French restaurant, although the Japanese spot was less surprising. Unfortunately, the skiing experience had some frustrating elements, like unmarked run exits for beginners. Overall, while there were some disappointments, the experience was still enjoyable.

My stay at the Crowne Plaza was overall wonderful, especially with its magnificent views and comfortable rooms. Breakfast was excellent, and I appreciated the food options available. However, the service had its downsides, particularly with a lack of responsiveness to inquiries and an unpleasant incident over a room key charge. Still, the hotel’s environment and hospitality were commendable.
