10/10 Excellent
"It’s a very normal hotel and room. Nothing special. It’s more like a business hotel than a luxury hotel. It was very clean, the staff was great, and it was in a good location. The price was reasonable. We would stay here again. Breakfast was not included"

"I traveled from Las Vegas to Tokyo for a wedding. Then I flew up to Hokkaido and finally to Wakkanai. When I arrived at the hotel the attendant called someone to give me a ride to the konbini to gather supplies. She also scheduled a taxi for me the next morning. We exchanged gifts and I told her I’d be back with loved ones. If you are an adventurer this is a great place to put on your list. I only wish I could’ve tried the food in the restaurant."
