This hotel was a pleasant surprise! Located right next to the river, it is walkable to a lot of Kushiro's restaurants and shopping. Staff was excellent, although not strong with English. But we still got through it and the room was clean and spacious for Japanese standards. We had twin beds, and there was good space for our luggage as well. Very clean room and bathroom with a closet for jackets. The best thing was the buffet breakfast. Amazing Japanese food, with great sashimi fish, scallops, tsukemono, fruits, it was just great! And all fresh! Really liked it a lot! There are also many restaurants in the area, so dining isn't a problem. Also many stores close early like 7 or 8pm so keep that in mind. Only bad thing was parking, but they had an arrangement with a parking structure a block away so it wasn't too bad. Overall an excellent hotel!
