"I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It looked like it wasn't far from the JR station, but we arrived on a day with a heavy blizzard – something I, as someone from the south, had never experienced before. Just those few traffic lights left us utterly exhausted by the time we reached the hotel. Before checking out, we specifically called taxis. The minimum fare was 700 yen, and since we had a lot of luggage, we needed two cars. This was the only taxi company in Hakodate, Donan Taxi, that didn't charge a service fee for calling a cab, and the front desk was very helpful in arranging it for us.
Upon check-in, you definitely need to read the instructions. Used towels and bath towels can be exchanged at the front desk, but there's an additional charge of 200 yen for each extra towel. The hotel's only ice machine is in the convenience store on the first floor.
The hotel breakfast was fantastic! The seafood changed daily – sweet shrimp on the first day, salmon on the second, plus fresh shrimp tempura every day. The miso soup was delicious too. The room even had a washing machine, which is incredibly convenient for families on long trips.
We stayed on the 13th floor, and the ocean view was incredibly soothing. There's a beach not far from the hotel, and even in such cold weather, people were out surfing. The hotel's large public bath is also great; the women's bath is on the basement floor, and the men's is on the first floor. They use POLA toiletries.
For this price, and with such a spacious room, you really can't go wrong!"
