今まで、全国のホテル、旅館を利用させていただきましたが、私どもには蔵王国際ホテルが最高ランクだったと思います。
Pros:

夜、個室の食堂でしたが、小声で少し寒いなと漏らしたところ、スタッフに聞こえてしまったのか、10秒後に毛布を持ってきてくれました。
スタッフの皆さんの礼儀としつけが行き届いているのには、びっくりしました。
夜の料理に米沢牛のしゃぶしやぶと、連泊のため2日目は陶板焼きをいただきましたが、なんと美味しいことか、
三重県の松阪牛以上ではないかと思いました。また料理はなにを頂いても美味しかったですが、特に朝のコロッケは絶品でした。
こちらの要望どおり、空気清浄機を置いてくれていましたこと感謝しております。

Cons:

ホテルのことではないのですが、季節的にスカイケーブルが運行されていなかったことが残念でした。
