"There was shuttle bus around every 20mins from Karuizawa Station going to different parts of the hotel until 9PM so going to and from the station was not a problem. Checkin and checkout was also surprisingly very fast. I reserved one of the west cottages for an overnight stay for 3 people. When we arrived in the Hotel, the receptionist told us that if we do not smoke, we will be moved to a larger non-smoking room. We didn't expected that "larger" meant a room for 6 people! (the cottage has 6 beds, 6 slippers, 3 toilet, etc). It was very nice. Our cottage was a little far from the main part of the hotel so a staff drove us to the cottage (by a small car) and picked us up immediately when we called and said we wanted to see the souvenir shop. The souvenir shop was very good. We were surprised to see so many varieties of Karuizawa/Nagano specialties, it was like a summary of the shopping streets. Some of these we saw while going around Karuizawa and the price is the same in Shopping Street and in the Prince Hotel Souvenir shop. The only bad point is the insects. Since the cottage is in the middle of a field, there were some insects (dead and alive) on some parts of the room. The room is equipped with an insect spray but when there was a time when the insect was too large/fast for us to handle, we called a staff and they came and took care of it immediately, so maybe this is still a plus point for them."

"I have always stayed in other hotels in Japan during my previous visits, but decided to try APA hotel this time during our skii trip in Karuizawa. I am a frequent traveler and love to explore hotels to evaluate the level of service. My room preference was given and the room is bigger than what we have expected as compared to other hotels in Japan which is quite small. I would definitely recommend this hotel in terms of facilities and cleanliness. Only, I hope the Front Desk staff would be a little more helpful. I approached a staff to inquire regarding the shuttle bus to Karuizawa skii resort but was plainly told "No". He could have offered directions or alternatives to help. Japanese people are always nice and polite. And it was a bit disappointment that I have encountered a not so nice staff for the first time in Japan in APA hotel."

"We made many trips to Karuizawa and each time we would stay a few days at the Prince (west, east, etc). We prefer the east for the winter lodge experience and the main for the used of onsen. Our experience of the west was not good at all, we felt very unwelcome there, which was not a common experience in Japan. We like the location of this "hotel", close to the station, food court/outlets, the outlet malls and the convenient shuttle service. Skiing was nice, right at the door steps, there were English instructors for beginners too. "
