All great, Ill rate this eight out of eight, mate!
Friendly and helpful staff. Great rooms and beds. Showers on lower level which is actually more convenient than sharing one in your room with your ski buddy. Breakfast really good, much better than last time in Hakuba valley in similar lodge. Shuttle/taxi service free of charge. Amazing stay!
