AI Summary
The rooms were spacious and comfortable with traditional Japanese tatami mats. Guests appreciated the satisfying variety and quality of the breakfast.

Overall the experience was average. For the same price at other hotels I've been to, the service, room quality would have been much better.
The facilities are generally aged. The room was old a bit dusty and some parts of the tatami floor had sunken in. Service was pleasant.
Few important things to note:
- poor ventilation at meal times meany the whole hotel and your room would smell like meat.
- shuttle service only for to and from the bus station. (Most other hotels provide shuttles to the ski lifts)
- the ski lifts are about 10-15mins walk away with full gear on (boards, etc)

There is shuttle bus to pick up from Zao Onsen bus station to hotel anytime. However, only two time slot for shuttle bus to pick up from Hotel to Zao Onsen bus station. They will not entertain any request to drop off at bus station if you missed this timing.
Staff is not friendly in this hotel.
1. Telling us there is no private onsen. When we check with the night shift staff, there is one more slot for private onsen.
2. Requesting customer to sit down if we want to drink water in the lobby. Reason being that we will be blocking other customer to take the drink. However, they is no other customer there besides us.

There was a little bit of a problem with the pick-up at Zao Onsen Station at the beginning. The operator's English was not very good, but we were finally picked up! Then the hotel is relatively old, but very clean! On the last day when we were about to leave, we asked if we needed to pick up guests at the station, and then they just helped us to pick up at the station, so the round-trip pick-up service was very good!

A hotel that costs nearly NT$10,000 per night
1. The managers and supervisors at the counter are very rude, but the ordinary employees are smiling.
2. Too old, holes in the room walls
3. There are spider webs on the lights in the room
4. The most outrageous thing is that spiders crawled out directly from mattresses and pillows

The overall feeling is that the hotel is very old, and the service is also average. The light in the lobby is very dim, which makes the hotel look even older. The 4 points are for the hot springs. There are two hot springs, indoors and outdoors. It is quite comfortable to soak in the hot springs. In short, I chose this place because I couldn't book anywhere else. Fortunately, I only stayed for one night.
