The room was relatively clean but I did find 1 room slipper under the bed 4.

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.

Located next to North entrance of Sapporo Station

Due to Golden Week holiday, only managed to book semi-double smoking room. Indeed room came with cigarettes smell, but still in cleanly manner. Room size is good enough for us. This is expected for middle-range downtown hotels in any big city at Japan. But hotel location is superb!. Hotel located next to North entrance of Sapporo Station. Pulling luggage to New Chitose Airport rapid train is effortless.
