This property met our expectations for cleanliness and affordability. The room was a bit small which we were prepared for based on reviews, but it worked perfectly for a family of 3. We also knew the hotel was distant from main attractions and events, so we made sure to rent a vehicle. This made it extremely easy to visit local shops and restaurants that were within a 15-20 minute drive. To go into the city, we parked at Chitose station and took the train to venture further. The staff were also very good at recommending restaurants and activities (i.e. ski resort) that were easily accessible by car. We traveled during the Snow Festival season and paid less than half the cost for both hotel and rental vehicle than what we would have paid to stay in the Sapporo city due to the time of year. If you're open to the adventure of driving, this property will not disappoint. Also, there is a little farmers market and pizzeria behind the hotel property, however, they do close rather early so it should not be relied upon for after hours. There is a small convenience store near the hotel (probably 5 min walk) that was helpful. Overall, we were highly satisfied with our stay and the property aligned with all the feedback provided online.
