My stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Appi Kogen was pleasant overall, with clean and spacious rooms that felt really comfortable for my family. The breakfast buffet had a great variety, but I was a bit disappointed by the lack of dinner options available. The staff was friendly and helpful, although there could be more English-speaking employees to assist international guests.

I had a pleasant stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Appi Kogen, but there's room for improvement. The location is awesome for skiing right out the door, and the staff were super friendly. However, the lack of dining options for dinner was a bit of a letdown. Also, my shower head needed some fixing, but the room was spacious and comfortable which made up for it a bit.
