I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit basic with some furniture showing wear and tear, were clean and neat, suitable for a solo traveler like myself. The service was superbly friendly and accommodating, managing the crowd well. The location, right outside the JR Sapporo Station, was extremely convenient for accessing transportation. The dining experience was better than expected, but it could be less crowded during peak hours. Overall, a decent value for the money with some minor drawbacks.

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights and here's my experience. The rooms, though on the higher floors, unfortunately didn't offer any view due to a nearby building blocking it. The air conditioning wasn't working, so I had to keep the window open all night. However, the room itself was small, clean, and had a comfortable king-size bed that provided a good night's sleep. The location is the best selling point as it's conveniently just across the street from Sapporo Station, making it super easy to get around the city.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms, although a bit small for two people with luggage, were very clean and neat. The buffet-style breakfast offered a wide array of good quality Japanese food. The service was polite and friendly, although they were not very helpful with luggage storage before check-in. The location, just across the north exit of the JR train station, was fantastic for exploring the region. The dining experience had lots of choices and was very filling, especially being so close to the rail station and the ESTA building.
