Categories

Cleanliness
9
Multiple reviews explicitly praise cleanliness (rooms and bathing areas described as clean and well maintained); one mention of an AC odor in a room lowered the rating slightly.
Service
9.9
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and helpful (assistance with golf booking, shuttle, lovely reception); a few service inconsistencies noted (no luggage help on departure, booking messages not always answered), but overall service sentiment is very strong.
Location
8.2
Location praised for mountain air, quiet setting and direct views to Mount Asama, but several guests noted it is a drive from town/train station and shuttle frequency/clarity is limited, reducing convenience.
Room Quality
8.9
Rooms described as comfortable, large, with excellent views; some comments note older equipment but generally well maintained and comfortable.
Amenities
10
Onsen and bathing facilities are a standout feature (many guests call the onsen excellent); facilities and overall resort amenities are highly praised despite occasional maintenance work (lift/repairs).
Value for Money
7.3
Several guests explicitly commented that value for money is weak (one review titled 'not great value for money', food CP value criticized, and pricing/meal-course phrasing caused dissatisfaction), so this category is the weakest.
Food and Beverage
8.1
Food receives mixed-to-positive mentions: many guests enjoyed dinner and breakfast (some called breakfast amazing), but others noted limited value, early last orders at the restaurant, and some menus felt underwhelming for the price.
Overall Experience
9
Overall sentiment is very positive across reviews — guests frequently describe enjoyable, relaxing stays, with strong praise for staff, onsen, views and general comfort.

満足です
Pros:

綺麗に清掃されていたのが嬉しかった。

Cons:

夕食のコースで、”一番安いコースを用意しています”と言われ、安いのが売り？　量を抑えたコースとか、何か特徴を入れたコースとか他の言い方があると思いますが、”安いコース”、”高いコース”など価格を売りにした表現はプリンスらしくなく、気をつけて表現して欲しかった。

Comfortable but not great value for money
Pros:

The hotels onsen was very nice and modern. The staff were helpful with my golf booking and shuttle service.

Cons:

Couple of things I wish I knew before I booked:

- You are still a decent drive from the golf course, whereas the photos make it look like you are on the golf course.
- Their bar requires a reservation 24 hours in advance, so our group couldn’t have a welcome drink on the first night we arrived.

Pros:

Every rooms have a direct view to the famous Mount Asama. Fantastic view

Cons:

Clean, and the staff is very courteous, the hospitality is great. The hot spring Onsen was built on the top of hill which needs to take an auto monorail, it supposed to face Mt Asama directly but I didn’t have the luck on the weather.
