"Overall, the hotel's design is quite good. The exterior and some decorations incorporate the distinctive red brick architecture of Otaru, giving it a strong local character, which is definitely a highlight. The location is also decent, about a 10-minute walk from the station, which isn't too far even with luggage, and it's right next to the canal. The staff's service attitude was excellent; they were generally enthusiastic and willing to offer help proactively, which left a good impression.
However, the hotel's hardware facilities are relatively average, a bit of a letdown compared to the appealing exterior design. The sofas in the lobby lounge area were visibly damaged and looked old, indicating mediocre maintenance. The room layout was also quite compact, feeling a bit cramped when in use, with not much space left after putting down luggage. Additionally, there were damaged areas on the wallpaper inside the room, showing a lack of attention to detail in maintenance. During my stay, the air purifier also leaked, which affected the user experience.
As for breakfast, the variety and taste were quite ordinary, without much distinctiveness. It felt pretty standard overall, but the price was relatively high, offering only average value for money."
