4/10 Poor
Garth, North Vancouver
Jan 21, 2026
I had just finished saying to my wife that I wish we had Dormy Inns back in Canada, as it was my favourite hotel chain. We stayed at Morioka and Aomori and both properties were exceptional value for the price. Otaru, however, was incredibly dated and grimy; torn and damaged furniture right in the lobby with exposed insulation and significant wear ad tear, rooms incredibly dated and old, walls scuffed and holes in the basement and lobby, and really scuzzy rooms; kind of like a room above a crappy bar. It was also the most expensive off the 3 Dormy rooms we had. Management of this location needs to pull up their socks, invest in their property (it was very busy, so clearly there's revenue to do upgrades) too bad, as it tainted an otherwise great Dormy experience.
