I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were kept very clean overall and accommodated three single beds which was convenient. The service was lacking a bit in terms of dry cleaning and laundry options. On the bright side, the location was superb with a very good Japanese restaurant just around the corner and being very close to Hakodate Train station. The dining, including gyu-don dishes, was included but nothing special. The facilities were average overall with nothing extraordinary to highlight.
