Hotel Route Inn Myoko Arai

Nice to find such a clean, modern and stylish full-service hotel in the slightly barren Arai area of Myoko. Stayed there for two nights to ski Myoko Kogen during the big snow of Valentine's Day Weekend, and it was very nice to have an on-location restaurant open after 7pm (they're running until 10pm). Interior design is very modern and clean, feels much like an upscale hotel or even like a baby-JW Marriott for those familiar with that line. HOWEVER, THE BEST PART OF THIS HOTEL has to be the wonderful bath, a big bonus to find in a chain hotel especially in the dead of winter during a huge snowstorm after a day of hard skiing. I keep saying clean, modern, stylish over and over but it's really the best way to describe everything at this hotel.
