This hotel is located on the west side of Sapporo Station. Next to it is the same series "Mitsui Garden Hotel Sapporo". I usually stay at budget business hotels, but this time I stayed at a slightly more expensive hotel using the current public subsidy discount. The room is spacious, which is a nice change from the cramped rooms I usually stay in. I checked in in the evening and went to the nearby "Hamkatsu Shrine" to have a drink and dinner. The food was cheap and delicious, but unfortunately, cigarette smoke was drifting in, so I ended up taking half of it to go. The hotel also has a large communal bath. The bath is quite spacious with a shallow end and a deep end. The women's bath has 9 shower stalls, a shower booth, and three seats with hairdryers in the dressing room. It's refreshing to soak in a large tub. I watched a cat program on BS TV and the anime "The Tale of the Heike" before going to bed. I don't have BS TV at home, so I watch it a lot in hotels. For breakfast, I had crepes with banana, fruit cocktail, and cream. I also enjoyed rice with salmon roe, salted squid, sea urchin with jellyfish, rolled kelp, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, grilled vegetables, gnocchi with meat sauce, smoked salmon, grapefruit, lychee, milk, orange juice, and tea. The breakfast was good, but for the price of 2000 yen, I felt it was a bit expensive. I would have liked more variety of cooked dishes for that price.
