Sky Park Hotel

Stayed in March 2024. I have stayed at this hotel many times. This was the first time I booked through Trip.com. The website said it was a one night, two meals plan, but when I arrived at the hotel, I was told it was a one night stay without meals. We argued over the counter, but no one could come to an agreement. I called Trip.com and explained the situation. They admitted that I had booked a one night, two meals plan, but the hotel had received the reservation information from the wholesaler, Rakuten Travel, so I decided to hang up and wait to confirm with Rakuten Travel. When I called back, Trip.com proposed that I pay the hotel for two meals at once, and then Trip.com would transfer the amount later. There was no guarantee that the money would be transferred, and if it wasn't transferred, it would be a loss for us, so it was not a very good idea, but dinner time had already started, so I accepted it. I paid for the meal at the front desk, ate, and sent the receipt to Trip.com from my room. After I told them my transfer details, the amount was transferred the next day, so there was no expense for me, but I hope this never happens again.

I stayed here for several nights in early September. Tokyo was experiencing scorching hot days, but this hotel, located at an altitude of nearly 1,500m, had a refreshing plateau feel and was comfortable. The room I stayed in was on the Kurumayama side (parking side) of the prominent Kurumayama Plateau, to the right of the front desk, but there were only a few cars belonging to hotel staff parked in the parking lot, and in the mornings, I would occasionally see guests walking their dogs. On a clear day, the radar dome and Kurumayama Terrace at the top of Kurumayama Plateau were clearly visible. In the lobby, Mt. Tateshina could be viewed from the sofa along with Lake Shirakaba. There were many Nepalese staff members among the hotel staff, and they were happy to greet me with "Namaste" when I entered the restaurant.

素晴らしいほど静かでした。とてもよかったです。

Approximately 40 minutes by shuttle bus from Chino Station. The city of Chino is also at a fairly high altitude, but it is located on Kurumayama Plateau, where you can see the city far below. It was still hot at Chino Station, but the area around the hotel was comfortable. Then check in at the spacious lobby. It was more than I expected so far, but that's about it. To get to your room, you have to go up and down the elevator and walk quite a bit, and the view from your room is only around the area around the hotel. Also, the buffet dinner is just ordinary food and not very tasty. There are no booths where the staff grills or fries food right in front of you. In the end, the hotel was disappointing.

There were dead insects in the guest room and hair falling out. The water area and bed were clean, but the stand light in the guest room was out of order.

This is my second visit. It's the autumn foliage season in November. The view is still beautiful, but the food doesn't seem to be worth the price of the accommodation. There is a reasonable variety and the taste is good, but I think the quality of the ingredients is a little off considering the price of the accommodation. The breakfast is not bad. It may be possible to just have breakfast, but there are hardly any restaurants in the area, so I don't think it's very practical. I've seen comments saying that the quality of the food has declined due to COVID, so I hope that this will improve in the future...

There was nothing around, so I felt like I was in the middle of nature. The food was a buffet both in the evening and in the morning, with a wide variety of options, all delicious, and very satisfying. There were also local ingredients. The bath wasn't that large, but it had an open-air bath and a sauna. The morning bath in particular had a great view and felt great. The walking trails around the hotel were also nice. They were easy to walk on, and although they were mountain paths, they seemed well maintained. It was a hotel I would like to visit again.

The location, view and environment are great. The room was spacious and calm, but I felt that the lighting could be brighter. The starry sky was very beautiful, but it was dim due to the lights of the facility. The air conditioner hardly worked which was inconvenient. It was strange to see a big difference between the price of beer in the refrigerator and the price in the vending machine.
