Great stay at Sora

It was a great stay at Sora Hotel Karuizawa Outlet. Room was spacious and the service staff were warm and welcoming. The lobby area is quaint with a grand piano that guests could play at. It is a dog-friendly hotel, ideal for dog owners and dog lovers. The location is good, less than 10 drive from Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza and there’s free parking on site. Breakfast was sumptuous with 4-5 variety of mains to choose from. If you choose not to have house-keeping, they will refund a small amount of the room fees back to you which is a nice gesture.

My fur angel and I enjoyed the stay. We are glad they have fenced indoor and outdoor play areas for dogs. The staff was kind and friendly. I only want the hotel to reconsider using aroma in their guest room. As soon as we entered the room, I noticed the artificial aroma, and I quickly turned off the humidifier, which seemed to be the source of the aroma. I am a certified health coach and have avidly promoted home use of medical-grade essential oils for better health. However, I cannot tolerate the odors of artificial aroma, which is known to affect our health adversely. Artificial aromas are known to disrupt our nerves and hormone secretions, and even more so for dogs and small animals. But unfortunately, artificial aromas are widely used in Japan. To prove the adverse effect of the artificial aroma, I continually experienced a runny nose while in the room. I do not have hay fever or any allergy associated with the pollens or seasonal impacts. My body shows such symptoms only when I am exposed to artificial oils. Having a constant runny nose is a very rare event for me. I cannot imagine how much the adverse effects of the aroma invisibly affect my dog. So, please avoid using artificial aromas that are widely commercially available.

部屋はシンプルで使い易く愛犬を受け入れてくれるのが嬉しい。臭いなど全く気にならなかった。 スタッフはフロントはきびきびしててとても気持ち良い対応をしてく下さる。夕飯を食べに行くところを相談したらすぐにPCで調べてくれてプリントアウトまでしてくださった。 朝食は利用しなかったが夕飯にホテルのレストラン『ポーターハウス ステーキ＆グリル』を利用しました。ここもスタッフがとても丁寧であり犬連れで利用できるのが嬉しい。食事も値段からしてボリュームがありオススメである。わんこメニューもあり愛家もとても興奮してました。スタッフの女性は英語が堪能でありここは海外からの方も問題ないと思われます。 今回で2回目の宿泊でしたがまた泊まりに来たいホテルです。

This is a dogs first facility and all rooms are accommodating. You would never suspect this is a dogs first hotel as it is clean and very nice accommodations. I was there to participate in a cycling event. The day of the event I couldn't make my breakfast time. The staff, packed me a breakfast the day before. Additionally, they allowed me to keep my bicycle in their recreational storeroom. I will definitely make this my stay, any time I'm in Karuizawa!
