Good room and comfortable place to stay, parking available, easy check in check out
2 bathrooms shared between 5 rooms can be tricky however it’s largely down to people staying there at the time.

Stayed at WWL with my brother, we were skiing in Niseko and Rusutsu.
Location wise I would say Kutchan is the place to be when going skiing in this area. You deff need a car, but it's much nicer to stay in Kutchan than in Niseko.
Regarding the accommodation, there were other guest coming for the sole reason of skiing. The guests were respectful, quiet and clean. Which is a big plus, because we share the same bathroom, and the rooms are adjecent to each other.
The room is a bit on the smaller size. Wouldn't mind a table in the room, but the room is quite small.
Also for this amount of people, another toilet would be better, but all in all didn't have any problem regarding that.

All the necessary amenities: washer/dryer, shower, bathtub, full kitchen. Comfy beds and linens, smart organizing options for shared fridge and food storage. Very nice cleaning ladies.
Not much to report that is negative. Our room was on the first floor, near the dining room and kitchen, and we did have a couple of guests try to get into our room late at night (looking for the bathroom, maybe?) Perhaps larger and more clear signage could help? There was definitely a large language barrier with some folks, especially regarding the sorted trash cans. I found myself sorting quite a bit for others.

Inexpensive shared accommodation. Reasonable facilities including washing machine, well equipped kitchen. Coffee, tea and essentials provided. Would be perfect for groups.
Paper thin walls between rooms. Quite cramped. Cleaners did not attend for several days.
