My recent stay was mostly enjoyable, with clean and spacious rooms and a friendly staff that made me feel welcomed. The location offered easy ski-in and ski-out access, which was a huge advantage. However, I did find the dining options a bit overpriced and not as impressive as expected. Additionally, the need to go downstairs for the toilet was a bit inconvenient for my family.

The hotel experience was quite mixed. On one hand, the rooms are spacious and well-equipped for skiing, with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. The service, especially from specific staff members, was commendable, but the overall dining experience and the staffing issues during peak times were disappointing. Additionally, the location setup for skiing is good, but not entirely ski-in ski-out, which may not suit every guest's expectations.

The Westin Rusutsu offers a beautiful escape from the crowds, with great snowfall and a unique loft room experience. While the accommodations are clean and comfortable, the dining options are limited, and staff could improve on providing local recommendations. The onsen is a highlight, but the housekeeping needs better attention to detail. Overall, it's a convenient choice for families with kids who are looking for a quieter skiing destination.
