Green Plaza Karuizawa

What a dreadful hotel! It is obvious that the owner spends as little as possible on maintenance and upkeep. The carpets are worn. The rooms smell of damp and mold. They even use kerosene heaters to warm the corridors. Ugh! It was no surprise that my son saw a rat scurrying past when we used the outdoor baths late in the evening. As for the food, I'm sorry, not fit for humans, adult or child. The sushi! Unbelievable. Disgusting. My wife was charged 6,000 yen to enter the dining room (she was smart and had booked a room in another hotel). There was nothing she wanted to put on the plate. I ate nothing. Neither did my daughter-in-law. Even my son who has a tremendous appetite could find little. My wife summed it best: school meals are far superior to what Hotel Green Plaza Karuizawa offers its guests. We never bothered to even try the breakfast. And by the way, the hotel isn't even in Karuizawa. It is a very long drive from Karuizawa proper. Seriously, think again before booking this hotel.

Okay I think it's good at the price.

It's great for families with children. I had a lot of children's stuff ready and didn't need anything I brought. Most of the people around me are with children, so when I cry and make noise, there is no one to complain about. Some people say it's bad on the internet, but it's popular with many parents because of how crowded dinner is.
