"The hotel's location is super convenient; it's just a few minutes' walk to the JR station. This makes it really easy whether you're coming from New Chitose Airport or heading out to explore other places. For example, it was a breeze to get to Otaru the next day.
Odori Park is also within walking distance, though Susukino is a bit further out. This area isn't overly crowded with tourists. If you're looking for restaurants, you'll generally need to head into the JR station.
The JR station is quite large and includes the Stellar Place shopping mall. I had some delicious grilled meat rice and omurice there, and there are plenty of dining options to choose from.
The hotel facilities are generally good, and the room was clean and tidy. Soundproofing is average; you can hear the train passing by a little, but it wasn't really disruptive. The bed and pillows were very comfortable for me.
On the ground floor, there are self-service tea bags, coffee, and toiletries. When I checked in, the small toiletries kits were out, and there was a note saying to pick them up from the front desk staff.
Overall, I think this place is great for a one or two-night stay. However, if you're looking for more convenient shopping and dining, I personally would recommend staying closer to Susukino. It's livelier there, with more restaurants, shops, and duty-free stores."
