Shimokita Peninsula, Aomori Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"朝食ビュッフェは美味しかった。海鮮もあった。地元の焼物食器で食べたり飲んだり出来た。朝7時は混雑していた。食事の補給や、食べ方など女性店員さんが教えてくれてとても親切で良かった。チェックインはスムーズに出来た。ホテルのパーキングはToyotaシエンタは背が高すぎて入らないからと言われて道の向こう側の外のパーキングへ誘導された。同じ費用。部屋は必要なものは全部あった。エレベーター少し大きめ。3つベッドの部屋に泊まって大人三人良かった。ウォッシュレットは温度が少し熱い。"

"Great location 5 minutes or less door to door from Hakodate station. The breakfast was excellent and rivals 4 star Tokyo hotels. "

"I loved this hotel! It was located right in the JR station which was so very helpful when it took me a very long time to travel from Haneda airport in Tokyo to Hakodate via shinkansen. I was soooo relieved when I realized I didn't have to figure out where the hotel was, it was literally just right there! I lost my phone charger and cord in transit and they were kind enough to lend me one and give me directions to the nearest electronics store. I know a little bit of Japanese so that helped with the communication as they didn't know too much English. One super cool perk of this hotel is that they had what was called the pillow corner. In a part of the lobby there was an area where if you wanted a different pillow from the standard issue you could "shop" around in this super cool little pillow library. There were signs and labels indicating the softness and hardness level and displays showing what material was inside the pillow. It was soooo amazing! I like a harder pillow so I was happy to find one that fit my preferences. The hotel is so perfectly located right across the way from the morning market. Very convenient! And I could see Mount Hakodate from my window. I only stayed two days in Hakodate, it was my first time in Hokkaido and I split my trip between here and Sapporo. I really super enjoyed it and wish I had scheduled more time on my trip from this area. If I ever return I will definitely stay again at this hotel. Highly recommend!"

"Lovely hotel. Absolutely amazing breakfast (but very popular…. First hotel where there is a queue to get in at 6 am). A heads up would have been nice if we were told to bring our towels from our room to the onsen. Probably got lost in translation. But excellent hotel. "

"Nice hotel and friendly staff"

"The lounge on 17F was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay."

"朝食がとてもよかったです。 13階の大浴場も広々としていて設備もゆったりでくつろげました。"

"Second time I stayed here (last year it was Flexstay Inn). The only issues were this spikey metal coil I found in the carpet and removed myself (not too bad), and the toilet seat dipped down on the left side when you sit down. Otherwise a perfect stay. Thank you!"
