Great Ski in/Ski out option

Very nice hotel/condo. Convenient to the slopes, on site onsen was very clean and easy to access. Bit of a walk to dinning options, but nice in room pizza and a small cafe near by. Included ski lockers was really helpful. Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Would strongly recommend

Beautiful room, but... only one electrical outlet in kitchen, so had to keep unplugging the coffee maker to plug in the tea kettle, what a horrible design! beautiful views from the window. Comfortable beds. Front desk staff was fantastic! Food was expensive. Easy in and out to skiing

Really really nice room. The Ski in only applies to west mountain which you have to take the nearest lift to use which is a REALLY short run designed for learning or beginnners. The Ski out does go to this lift… but if you’re not just learning it’s not somewhere you want to spend your day. If you’re planning on spending most time at East or Isola, it does take some time to get over there via walk and gondola (25 mins or so assuming no lines).

Very nice rooms and great onsen, but there are many little inconvencies that take away from a good experience. Limited food options, and most of them were closed in mid-december. The ones that were open were not very good. No waters in the room. We had to ask for room cleanup service. This place isnt't really ski-in/out. Its a bit of a walk, but not too bad.

Great Place

I have booked for 4 nughts, the place was good just the only complaint is that when i requested for extension for two more nights on my next day there they really give me a price that is too crazy high and was asked to checked out first then wait till 3pm to do a check in again which the room is still on the same floor so I decided not to take.

There isn’t enough to say about Vale Rusutsu. I was only there for two nights, and travelling solo, but it was great. The mountain is right outside the ski lockers. The breakfast, which is just a short walk through the Rusutsu Resort Hotel. The rooms are huge! Plenty of room for two to three people, let alone one. And of course the staff are wonderfully friendly. I hope to return here soon.

Awesome customer service

The customer service at the Vale is one of the best parts. We were especially impressed when the staff arranged a complimentary shuttle for us to our dinner spot due to the unavailability of taxis. Jo, the friendly and helpful driver from Germany, was a friendly driver and great conversationalist! The spa is one of the best that I've ever been to. Loved how it was also clean, and had long hours. Rooms are very modern + great views. Loved the in-unit washer/dryer. Highly recommend.

Huge place.

The room was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included and it was good. Unfortunately the breakfast rooms were at least 500 metres away, I was in the South wing and all the breakfast places were in the North wing. Because the hotel is so huge with many different levels and many special areas it was initially difficult to actually find the breakfast rooms. On my last day the breakfast was not available because the South wing closed the day before I left. Pretty inconsiderate of management to not consider guests still in the North wing!!!

* Vale is very clean and nice property. Expensive but it is worth it. * There is a good 7-8 min walk to the main convention center. * The onchen is located near Vale so that is nice (and free). * There is a pool in the convention center but if you are visiting Rusutsu for the pool, I would suggest you go elsewhere. * Breakfast was included (at the convention center). Three different choices but at best, the restaurants for breakfast were average. Dining is somewhat limited. However, the rooms have a kitchen so you can cook. * Ski-in/out access is really nice. * There is no daily room cleaning but it never felt necessary and really not a problem. * Getting to the Westin hotel requires ~8-10 minutes talk to the monorail and then, waiting for a monorail, followed by a 3-4 minute monorail ride. Westin has some other dining options but expensive. There is an onchen at Westin that was also supposed to be free but when we tried to use it, Westin front desk told us that we can't use it. There is clearly some miscommunication on what is included. * In general, relatively expensive but given the nice snow and the skiing, it was worth it.
