Hakodate Park Hotel

The big room and helpful staff.

Smoking at the hotel lobby is permissible

The hotel room was very spacious. A free smartphone was provided with the room including local maps, explanation of sights and attractions, and food guides. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.

The fact that I only had time to stay 3 nights.

This hotel is few kilometers from tourist attractions, so no doubt the hotel rate is lower. However, it is compensated by peaceful environment and free parking. The hotel setup makes you feel as you are staying in a tradition Japanese home. The room can be a little bit old, but it is a gimmick. I booked a family room Japanese style and I was very delighted when I woke up in the morning. I have to say that the staffs are very supportive when I need help. The restaurant at the lobby offer fair-price meals and drinks, which runs until 10:30pm. Vending machine for bottled beverage and beer is available at the lobby. Even this is not a five star hotel, they offer toothbrush, toothpaste, green-tea bag, which is very kind of them. THE HOTEL ALSO OFFERS FREE HAND PHONE WITH INTERNET CONNECT AND YOU CAN CALL LOCAL FOR FREE. YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU OUT DURING YOU STAY. THIS IS LOVELY.

During winter thermostats works as the heater not the cooler. If you feel warm then you need to slight up little bit the window, which is fine, as it is safe here. I can say there is nothing I didn't like after I spend a night here. But I think you need a car if you come as family like me (5 people) as taxi can be quite expensive.
