Diverse Dining Options

I was impressed by the variety of dining options available at the hotel. From teppanyaki to sushi bars, and Korean BBQ to steakhouses, there was something for everyone! I really enjoyed a nice dinner at their French restaurant; the food was superb, and it had a great wine list. Despite the limited dining options outside the hotel, the quality of the food made up for it.

Excellent Fitness Center

The fitness center at the hotel exceeded my expectations. It was well-equipped with modern machines and had its own shower area, which was a fantastic bonus. I made good use of it before hitting the slopes each day. I truly appreciated having this facility available to keep up my workout routine during my ski trip.

Amazing Onsen Experience

I absolutely loved the onsen offered at the hotel. It was a perfect way to unwind after a long day of skiing. The hot springs were clean and well-maintained, providing a soothing atmosphere. I also appreciated the access to a shuttle that took us to nearby onsens for a change of scenery, enhancing my relaxation experience even further.

Spacious Accommodations

The room I stayed in was very spacious and comfortably fit three people. It was conveniently located near the ski lockers and slopes. I really liked the large windows that allowed for amazing views of the surrounding mountains. The decor was somewhat dated, but the cleanliness and size more than made up for it. I felt right at home throughout my stay.

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.

The hotel offers a great location on the slopes, perfect for skiing, but the overall experience felt a bit flat.

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.
