Reviews and Ratings
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.
Overall, the hotel offers a beautiful ambiance surrounded by stunning views and well-driven facilities. I particularly enjoyed the spacious duplex room which was perfect for my family of four. However, the dining options nearby were somewhat limited, and there were minor housekeeping issues during my stay that could use improvement.
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.
I had a wonderful experience at this ski resort. The service was exceptional, and the views breathtaking. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, perfect for families. However, the dining options could use some improvement, and the location is a bit remote, which might limit dining choices nearby.
