9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
A nice clean property in close proximity to the station. The staff, especially the young man on the far right side of check in. He seemed to Korean, he spoke excellent English and was very understanding and helpful with our needs. My only real complaint about the hotel is that the hallways and more importantly the rooms are too warm. It was difficult to sleep well in such a hot room. It would be nice if the room could cool down to at least 19 degrees.

The hotel is centrally located next to Hakodate Station and has many useful establishments around it. I only deducted points because the room was very stained and the window was small even though it had a good view.

7.4/10 Good! (3 reviews)
Overall very nice accommodation and the shuttle driver was very nice. However, whoever actually manages the property really needs to do better with communication. The day of my arrival I was still trying to figure out how to actually get to and check into the property since no instructions were provided. I had to try to contact them multiple times and also had to reach out to hotels.com multiple times. I’ve been to Japan to snowboard before, I don’t need my hand held. However, traveling internationally is stressful enough and I want to know when I arrive at my destination that I’ll be able to get into the accommodation that I paid for and relax. Not walk around with a bunch of luggage/gear, hoping that I can get in at some point. In the end, I was able to access the accommodation without issue but again, communication is not that hard. All I needed was a message explaining the procedure and how to access the accommodation and I didn’t get that info until just before arriving.
