SAPPORO STREAM HOTEL

Brand new hotel. Open in 2024. Design is modern. Hotel room is of reasonable size. Hotel is at the busiest junction of Susukino of Sapporo. There are numerous restaurants and shopping areas nearby. There js a shopping mall underneath as well. Very convenient if you take public transport. For drivers, use the jumbo 1000 parking. ¥1500 for one night. However, parking lot is extremely small for Japan standard.

Checking in on Apr 24 briefly after 5 pm @ 7/F Lobby and was assigned to a "Superior Double" almost the lowest floor (9/F w NO view) for the 3 nights stay The window was covered by double curtains (facing adjacent buildings walls & rooftop ???) but still heard apparent low-pitched background noise. Went back to Front Desk for room change and the reply was since the prepaid rates limitation , surcharge as follows: (10% tax NOT inclusive) ¥4000 JPY for SAME floor room facing the other side ¥10000 JPY for room category upgrade to "Superior +" just for Public Bath access with another ¥4000 JPY just for add-on breakfast NO Lounge Access even if paying further ... Even willing to pay the above ¥20000 JPY extra , only the first 2 nights could be entertained coz the 3rd night was an weekend stay thus I would have to move back to the same room (???) before check-out date although late checkout was offered due to my Hotel loyalty membership. Given the downtown location, I didn't bother to pay all these extras coz one can resort to similar facilities nearby. The most unsettling part is that if I hadn't booked with 2 different prepaid reservation, I could have booked w member rate for 3連泊 rates which better suits my expectations ... Also a bit scary for single female guest to go back hotel via the only Mall / Hotel entrance midnight coz someone without room keycard might follow inside .

Hotel location is excellent. Right across exit 4 of Susukino station. Has a grocery below. Lots of eateries everywhere. Has on-site laundry facility.
