Been coming back to stay at the Westin every year for skiing. Since covid it seems the standard has dropped. They have not also maintained the quality of the stay post covid. Example: quality of free in room amenities dropped, quality of food at breakfast buffet dropped For the price of the Westin compared to the hotels around the vinicity I would expect the quality to be maintained a little better. Otherwise, the place is clean and service staff are very helpful

The convenience to the Rusutsu ski resort is a huge plus. However, the room was expensive and little things - such as waiting in line for 20 minutes to eat at the breakfast buffet - made it seem overpriced for what it delivered. No specific complaints but I would probably stay at the Rusutsu Resort Hotel next time for half the price.

The rooms at the Westin are all lofts- really nice layout with the bedrooms on the corridor floor and a great living room with murphy beds and kitchenette on the lower floor. The toilet, bathroom sink area, and shower/tub are all in their own rooms so you can close the door to each one for more privacy. The only thing they don't have that would be nice is a microwave, so you can't heat up leftovers or soup. It forces you to eat at one of the many restaurants (three at the Westin and 5 or 6 at the Rusutsu Resort across the street). It isn't quite ski in/out but it is a short walk to the chairlift for East Mountain and Mt Isola, and a monorail short walk to West Mountain.

The reception staff is very helpful and friendly with excellent spoken English. For those ski lovers, they will be able to enjoy the easy access to ski rental, and related facilities. The room I stayed is very clean with nice view of ski trail, and the room is very clean as well except it would be nice to have a deodorant spray available in the room so that guests may use as this item is commonly found in most hotels in Japan. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay there.

A wonderful winter resort. The reception staff were prompt, attentive and professional. The staff who showed us to our room was very polite and helpful. The loft we stayed in was super comfortable. Soft bed, great mountain view, very clean toilets. The water from the tap is specially treated and drinkable. We totally enjoyed our stay in The Westin, highly recommended to whoever is visiting the Rusutsu.

The place to stay in Rusutsu
We stayed six nights at the Westin Rusutsu on a recent skiing holiday. The Rusutsu ski resort basically offers two choices of accommodation as there is no village per se. Choose the Westin. It delivers exactly what you expect from a Westin hotel with careful thought having been given to the specific requirements of a ski holiday. The staff manage all the associated logistical issues efficiently and professionally. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Note they are split over two levels with a fairly steep staircase to negotiate. The two restaurants (one dedicated to Japanese cuisine) are very good. Given the size of the hotel and the lack of attractive alternative venues, there could probably be a third restaurant added. Given the high number of customers, the main restaurant only offers a buffet option for both breakfast and dinner. The quality is very good but some might find this limiting. Overall an excellent hotel, fully deserving its high rating.

Westin Rusutsu
Stayed here for 2 nights. Room was 2 levels with the beds upstairs and a big living room downstairs. It can easily sleep up to 6 people. The only issue is the bathroom is downstairs so if you sleep upstairs you need to walk down the stairs in the middle of the night which is a bit of an inconvenience. besides that, the room was really big and impressive. The hotel has a breakfast buffet in the morning which will run at least $100 for a family of 4 (2 adults / 2 kids). Other than the buffet there isn’t any other breakfast dining option unless you go across to the Rusutsu Resort (10 min monorail ride). We ate dinner there as well and spent another $200 at their Japanese restaurant. Be prepared to spend $300+ on meals per day at the Westin. Closest restaurant is around 40 mins drive from the hotel so you really have no option but to dine at the hotels. We did enjoy the onsen at the Westin which was nice to have after a long day on the slopes. I also got a foot massage at their spa which was mediocre at best. The resort has a laundry facility (6 washers / 6 dryers) which is a nice touch but the dryers take a LONG time to dry clothes! Still, it’s better than not having anything at all. Overall, the staff and service was excellent. Would recommend staying here.
