越後湯澤溫泉花園塔酒店

We stayed in the Garden Tower at NASPA New Otani with breakfast only (no dinner).We bought food at a nearby supermarket and checked in.I had confirmed in advance that the Room had a microwave, so we were able to enjoy our meal very nicely.The refrigerator was also larger than in a typical Hotel, so there was plenty of space for drinks, and we could even store ice cream after dinner—very satisfying!Even so, I think it’s amazing how affordable it is.The staff were truly wonderful: when they had time, they worked efficiently on other tasks, and if we hesitated even a little about what to do, they would kindly speak to us.I’d love to stay again sometime.

I stayed in early June.The Room, large public bath, and other facilities were just like the official photos—spotlessly clean and very beautiful.The staff’s explanations were thorough, and they were polite and pleasant.In the Room, cleansing, face wash, toner, etc. are provided for only one use. As amenities, it felt a bit lacking.The bathroom is shared with the toilet, but I liked that there was a separate shower room (I didn’t use it since I went to the large public bath).There are many lockers with keys in the large public bath area, so I could store valuables with peace of mind. There is no cleansing oil inside the large public bath. The powder room has cleansing products and toner, so it’s best to use those.As mentioned in another Review as well, there are no power outlets near the bed in the Room. That was a bit inconvenient.You may need an extension cord of about 3 meters.The breakfast buffet was very delicious.There’s a good balance of Japanese and Western options, but since the rice is excellent, I recommend Japanese dishes. The fish was also great, and the fuki miso rice balls were outstanding.The Niigata ginger ramen was also delicious.Next time I come to the Uonuma area again, I’d like to try staying at NASPA New Otani as well since they also offer a dinner buffet.
