OKA No Ue Hotel Miyagawa

Good points: On the slope side. Close to the gondola station. The room is spacious and comfortable. There is a small dresser in the room, which is convenient for consecutive nights. It is a four-story building, but there is an elevator. The changing areas used before and after check-in are separate for men and women, and each is relatively spacious. The meals are reasonable for the price. Bad points: The toilet in the room is integrated with the sink. It is extremely small. It is not a problem of area, but a problem of arrangement. I am a large person, so when I sit down, my knees touch the wall, and when I try to wash my face, my head hits the upper shelf. By the way, the shared toilet on the first floor is also small. Even though it is a ski lodge, there are few (narrow) places to hang hangers. You cannot hang your ski wear and the coat you brought with you unless they are stacked. The architect of the building designed it neatly, but in terms of usability, it is nothing but poor design. If it was not poor design, would the owner have been informed of the problem? They should have been able to tell there was a problem at the drawing stage... It was crowded during the consecutive holidays, but the rice at the meal was cold, a little hard, and dry. It seems that the rice had been poured into bowls in advance and left to sit for a while before being served, which was evidenced by the fact that the second serving of rice was warm and good. Even though there were many guests, perhaps they could have done a better job, such as staggering the serving times for each guest. If you're used to staying in business hotels, you'll want a refrigerator in your room. The baths on the first night, both indoor and outdoor, were very lukewarm. The outdoor bath on the second night was so hot that it was painful to get in. Overall: I don't think I'll stay here again unless they solve the toilet problem.
