There're lots of things we loved about this place;
1) Room - very comfortable, spacious, and the bed was so good, we slept once we tucked ourselves in the blanket!
2) Food - we loved Japanese bento and your breakfast made us smile!
3) Public Bath - after a long walk, once we dipped ourselves in it, all fatigue washed away!

The main tower has lovely rooms. Fortunately, I was moved after issues with the room I was originally allocated. The room had a bigger than average bathroom for Japan with a nice big bath. Lovely views.

Fantastic location. Close to the key attractions like Motomachi, Hakodate Ropeway, Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses and Hakodate morning markets as well as good public transport to the further out attractions like Goryukaku Tower and Star Fort. I was worried it might be the worst of both worlds for access but I was wrong. It is the best of both worlds. The property is modern, clean, spacious and well appointed. Great onsen on the 13th floor with views out to the port/sea area and Mount Hakodate. I'd definitely stay here again.

What could be improved: Nothing
