1. The location is fantastic being next to sapporo station & breakfast had daily variation 2. Very comfortable with using the public bath (no need to run water in room tub) 3. The room was relatively clean but I did find 1 room slipper under the bed 4. Room was pretty dry (low humidity) and was thirsty every night, unsure if there was a humidifier (tried switching on a machine but it didnt seem to work)

Nice hotel, ideal location for us. Next to the train and bus station. Breakfast was good. Staff helpful. Room was ok for an overnight stay, a little small for a long stay would have been better if it only had 1 double bed in

Tight bathroom

It was very nice stay. The room was clean and nice. But the bathroom was too tight. Using the same faucets for both sink and shower/tub was not too tight. Understand that it’s probably more efficient but it didn’t help to make it look more upscale.

The price was very good via Travelocity, considering its convenient location. The hotel has public bath, self laundry/drier machines with reasonable costs. The room has small fridge. There is shared iron/board and microwave oven. The hotel has vending machine for drinks inside, which has similar price as the nearby local store. I enjoyed the breakfast included in the price.
