In July 2011, I stayed at this hotel when I went to take photos of the event train "SL Okhotsk" running from Kitami Station to Shari Station. It is located in front of Kitami Station, close to the downtown area, making it convenient for both work and sightseeing. I booked a budget plan through a travel agency's website this time. The price for one night (one room) with free breakfast included for a twin economy room was only 7,600 yen. Surprisingly affordable! The building is new and clean, the rooms are not too small, and the large beds are comfortable. The staff at the front desk, while somewhat businesslike, were efficient and left a good impression. The complimentary breakfast is available from 6:30 to 9:30. The breakfast venue is located at the back of the first floor front desk. There are table seats and counter seats, with slightly limited space for each person. There are about 40 seats, but it may get crowded depending on the day and time. We used it around 7 am on a Saturday, and about half of the seats were filled. The breakfast buffet offers a variety of dishes, such as scrambled eggs, sausages, shredded cabbage salad, macaroni salad, rice balls, inari sushi, cooked bread, cereals, minestrone-style soup, coffee, tea, milk, etc. Everything was delicious. The minestrone-style soup with lots of ingredients (even meatballs) left a lasting impression. By the way, it's a short walk from this hotel to Kitami Station, so we were able to fully enjoy the pre-departure scenery of the "SL Okhotsk" train.
