If the best indicator of a good leader is the competence and esprit de corps of his troops, then Tony Marrinan, GM of the Hilton Niseko Village, qualifies.||||We would be hard-pressed to find a comparable example of staff enthusiasm, proactiveness, and exceptional courtesy and competence in any of the Hiltons we have stayed with worldwide, and that covers quite a broad range and an already high standard.||||The Front Office/Concierge team was on top of their game and worked fast and efficiently, enumerating relevant hotel amenities and offering suggestions for our stay. Nathan went out of his way to suggest activities and sites worth our time. Amal was repeatedly proactive in assisting our family group. T Lee also offered service of note.||||In this context, Song deserves exceptional comment. She went out of her way on a daily basis to respond to requests, to proactively suggest alternative activities and sites to visit, to research what she could not answer on the spot, and did it all with manifest enthusiasm. What a valuable asset for the hotel.||||The Melt restaurant team worked seamlessly and, once again, proactively and with seemingly inexhaustible good cheer. The entire hotel staff, for that matter, seemed to be cheerful. That is a direct reflection on the quality and attitude of senior management.||||In the case of Melt there was not an individual whom we could criticize. But we had particularly enjoyable interactions with Melanie, Jason, Widhi, Raiza (sp?), and a few others whose names I must apologize for failing to record.||||Housekeeping was superior: instantly responsive and executing with great attention to detail. The standard of cleanliness was top tier.||||In short, our nine days at the Hilton Niseko Village were unqualifiedly enjoyable. The attractiveness of the setting compliments the quality of the Hilton team perfectly.||||Thank you for this experience. FE LaCroix
