I've been staying here for almost 10 years but they did renovations and it apparently changed owners. The big advantage is it is cheap and right next to the lift. They used to have a more comfortable feel with a lounge room/ library with video games and movies and such but it has been replaced with a ski rental place? Bummer. Also they used to have a shared kitchen but now it is not available and they use it to prep the breakfast, which is very minimal. No amenities in the rooms, no soap, etc. Shared bathrooms and showers. Now your wear your shoes indoors everywhere. ##### Richard Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### LIN 6 Jan 2021 ##### LIN Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 3 Jan 2021 #### コロナ禍の滞在 コロナ感染予防のため、共用キッチンが使えませんでした。自販機も稼働しておらず、近くにコンビニがあるものの、室内に電気ポットもなく、コーヒー一杯飲めない状況でした。コロナ禍で仕方がないとは言え、使える電気ポットや電子レンジは準備してほしかったです。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Chariot Hokutoshichisei 135°](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Awaji-Hotels-Grand-Chariot-Hokutoshichisei-135.h34745847.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Hampstead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hampstead-London-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-n6054505-0-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Agra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Agra-Hotels.s50-0-d313.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenpyo Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nara-Hotels-Tenpyo-Ryokan.h14844103.Hotel-Information) > > [Condo Rentals Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barbados-Condos.d16-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Istanbul Golden City Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Istanbul-Golden-City-Hotel.h3873325.Hotel-Information) > > [Suimeikan Karukaya Sanso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Suimeikan-Karukaya-Sanso.h16258706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Balcony in Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balcony.0-0-d619-tHotelswithBalcony.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Guesthouse Home Sweet Home](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubrovnik-Hotels-Guesthouse-Home-Sweet-Home.h12814733.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fukinomori](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagiso-Hotels-Hotel-Fukinomori.h34515912.Hotel-Information) > > [London City Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-City-Airport-Hotel.h29280683.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Kynance Cove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kynance-Cove-Hotels.0-l6094415-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoshino Resorts KAI Nikko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nikko-Hotels-Hoshino-Resorts-KAI-Nikko.h17903043.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LCY) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lcy/edi/london-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Perth (PER)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/per/london-to-perth) > > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Budapest (BUD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/bud/east-midlands-to-budapest) ### Activities > [Things to do in Costa Daurada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Costa-Daurada.d6046406.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Bournemouth Lower Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Lower-Gardens-Bournemouth-City-Centre.d6150280.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Langley Mill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Langley-Mill.dx3000714296)
