Good to know
Inside Rusutsu, choose between the resort's main hotel side and The Westin. The Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention and The Vale Rusutsu (near West Mt.) are the resort's own hotels; The Westin Rusutsu Resort, all maisonette rooms, is linked to them and to West Mt. by a monorail of about 5 minutes. All three are stops on the resort's buses from New Chitose Airport (120 min) and Sapporo (105 min in winter).
Only four places to stay in Rusutsu have an official page that could be checked: those three hotels and the resort's summer campsite. The lodges and pensions in the village appear only on booking and listing sites, so they are not on this list. If those are full, Lake Toya (The Windsor Hotel TOYA, about 40 minutes by car) and Niseko (about 30 minutes) are the nearest bases.
Rates are not shown because they change daily. Check-in is 15:00 at all three resort hotels; check-out is 10:00 at the Resort Hotel and The Vale and 12:00 at The Westin.
