Hotels in Minamiuonuma

"This resort was significant to how amazing our snowboarding vacation turned out. Breakfast and dinner buffet was delicious! It’s true they don’t change items but there were so many choices that it really wasn’t necessary. We looked forward to breakfast and dinners there the entire 4 night stay. We had the junior suite which has the stone tub as our bath and it was a dream come true. Japanese style futons were so comfortable even after a long day of snowboarding. I didn’t mind that we had to set it up ourselves, it was a fun experience. The ONLY/main issue I had was that their public bath started off amazing until I noticed the insane amount of heavy black mildew/mold all over the walls and ceilings, it was like a horror movie and I couldn’t unsee it. Please please get that cleaned/disinfected, it is such a health hazard. I wish to come back and enjoy the facility again!! The saving grace was that we had our private tub as an option. The town is quaint so not much to do, so it was great that they had a game room with arcade games and ping pong table, our kids loved closing the night out there. The value we got for the experience was great and we want to return and do it all again! "

"We tried to cancel the reservation with all or some refund due to death of a family member just a few days before our check-in day. We provided everything we have including death certificate but the facility insisted the whole prepaid fees in full are not refundable. We understand the hotel's policy but rather than show their condolences in any degrees, the hotel letting us not just suffer for lost of life and also financially lost. The hotel has lost their reputation on one of the most important value that a service business should provide to us - hospitality. "

"No checkin staff, had to find cleaner and she didnt speak english or japanese,. Beds where 2 flat futons, heating doesnt start till 5pm, it was freezing in the building, internet doesnt work and towel was very small and thin, not for drying bigger bodies,had to go buy some towels kitchen is small microwave not as pictured, just 2 very thin futons,no heating"

"Staff were very friendly and helpful. Snowhouse is located close to Ishiuchi ski area and rental shops. "

"The staff were great & the room was what we paid for but we were not accustomed to sleeping on floor."

"great for weekend stay. best with friends and families. authentic japanese tatami style hotel. walkable distance to ishiuci ski resort. "

"Nice onsen, room and location "

"DO NOT STAY HERE! This hotel does not provide any cleaning service besides cleaning trash cans and giving you two bottles of water. They do not clean your bathroom or make your bed, let alone changing bedsheets. Even upon request, the management team did not provide the necessary service. Although the staff is friendly and welcoming, you can sense that the Chinese owners really do not care about the guests and just want to save money in every way possible. Horrible business!"

"If a room has a shared toilet and bath, then they should say this clearly. They do not. It's rather expensive considering that the toilet is down the hall and shared with everyone else. "
