“Budget accommodation”
+Great location and parking. Lodge staff was friendly and helpful. The property needs to be better maintained by the property owners. For the price I would expect more.
−The owners need to do some basic general maintenance on the property to support a safe and clean environment for guests and staff.

+Excellent location and friendly staff and other guests.
−Could have been cleaner. Hair in bathrooms and a very large suspicious stain on the carpet in our bedroom. Was very expensive for what we received.

“Disappointing, bad value for money.”
+Central location.
−My partner and I booked ourselves into Rusutsu Powder Lodge while on a road trip to ski in the area. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The bathrooms and common areas were dirty, there was a strong smell of food in the lounge, the room was very small and unwelcoming, and it wasn’t possible to open the window. There was also nowhere to dry wet ski clothes. Considering the price, this did not feel like good value for money. At a significantly lower price point, it might have been acceptable, but compared to other places we stayed in the area, it fell short. We were supposed to stay three nights but left after two.

+Close to ski area, staff had good recommendations for off days. Red house was tasty, though spendy option just behind the lodge.
−Room was small, lodge was very hot, some of the other guests were not very considerate in shared spaces. No real area for lounging except dining tables. Limited restaurant options at the ski area.

“Great location friendly helpful staff, definitely recommend.”
+Excellent location very close to convivence stores and restaurants. Lisa the host was very friendly and helpful, she took great pride in her job and the powder lodge. Very clean even though a bit old, great to have a small kitchen to prepare your own food. The shared showers and toilets were a new addition and were very clean.
−Our room was typical Japanese room size, just sufficient but not much room for bags etc

“If I could give it a higher rating, I would.”
+The host, Lisa, was very accomodating and helpful. The lodge is very close to the Rusutsu Resort ski lifts and was incredible value for money. Next door is a konbini and a rental store making it very, very conveniently located. Very cosy yet spacious shared spaces.
