夫婦で2回目の宿泊です。(夫は4回目です。)温泉、お料理、お部屋、サービス全てが素晴らしくお気に入りのお宿です。ウェルカムドリンクにお酒があるのも嬉しいポイントです！夜も音楽を聴きながらお酒などが楽しめるラウンジサービスがあります。貸切露天風呂は2ヶ所、大浴場も2ヶ所あり、一泊でしたが4回温泉に入りました。短時間の入浴でも保温効果は抜群です。また、夕食、朝食共に個室でいただけるので、周りを気にせずゆっくり過ごせます。お料理...絶品です。最近できた"カフェ山ノ季"はとにかくオシャレで、美味しいコーヒーとスイーツをいただけます。カフェはチェックアウト後に利用しましたが、ゆっくり過ごせてとても良い時間でした。旅館におしゃれなカフェがあるのも珍しいと思うので、本当におすすめです。最近改装された新しいお部屋(デザイナーズルーム)に宿泊しましたが、とにかくお洒落です！2家族でも泊まれるような広さで、ゆったりすごせます。布団もふかふかでぐっすり眠れました。長くなってしまいましたが、本当におすすめのお宿です！！

家族旅行でお世話になりました。他の方のレビューにもありましたが、外国人の従業員の方が何人かいらっしゃいましたが、とても丁寧な日本語を使われていました。ウエルカムドリンクをいただき、温泉につかり、夕飯・朝食は半個室の様な素敵な空間で、次々出てくるお料理に、お腹いっぱいになりました。食べ盛りの子ども達はご飯を何度もお代わりさせて頂きました^^;カラオケボックスの名残りある卓球部屋で家族でワイワイ卓球を楽しめました。男性チームは１階の貸切風呂も楽しんで来たようで満足していました。女性チームは4階の大浴場と、雪降る中、露天風呂に入り満足満足！チェックアウト時にはクロワッサンを頂き、帰りの車中で美味しく頂きました(*^^*) 良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

駅から送迎やウェルカムドリンクが充実。貸切露天風呂は無料だけどシャンプーとかの洗い場はないし狭いから課金する方がいいかなー。
