Grand in name only
Receptionist who checked me in was no smiles, I could justify it by saying this is a cheap hotel, but alas it is Japan. The porter, an older man, who showed me to my room was very polite. Two staff members guided me even though I only had a small bag, which was unexpected.
Room itself was brand new so there should be no problems there. However, my room was on a low floor and at the very end of of a long long walkway. Did not know if this was intentional. Price wise, it was expensive for the size, and that it’s in a small city such as Sapporo.
Windows were very small due to the building’s history. View was quite problematic as the office workers from the building right across can see into the room throughly. The bathroom was very claustrophobic and cheap looking, but new and clean.
No breakfast is included but I prefer room service anyway, and a ¥1000 yen voucher could be used. There were no staff members outside and when I came in, no one guided me, making me a bit confused. All in all, the hotel is past its prime and similar to a regular business hotel.
