Lobby is nice and Location is ok, walking to the train station and most of the attractions. Rooms are dated, and needs some TLC. Not as clean as other similar price hotels in Japan. Same with the Service, was expecting more.

There's an Onsen within the hotel and Otaru canal can be viewed through the window. Location however is a bit far from JR Otaru station but walkable. It's a hassle though if you have luggages.
