Cross Hotel Sapporo

Pros: best beds! This was the 6th hotel in our month long Japan trip their firm Simmons mattresses are the best. Good public bath on the top floor with an open to sky outdoor tub. Excellent friendly staff. Little things like reprogramming the escalator to go down during check out hours, seats at the elevator lobbies, and code to access to the baths makes the stay nicer. Best prefeb bathrooms and also nicely appointed deco. Room size was bigger than your standard business chain hotel. Great location too to Sapporo Station and Odori Park. Cons: although the breakfast selection was adequate, it badly lacked variety. Everyday was the exact same items/menu. I strongly recommend that they change out 20-30% like other hotels. For this reason alone we can not stay more than 5 days. We moved to another hotel due to this breakfast issue. Overall, we would stay here again but again for not more than 4-5 nights due to the breakfast. Its a real pity because we like everything else about it. Almost a prefect score.

-About 10-15 mins walking distance from JR Sapporo Station, use the underground walkway in winter and go up when reaching Sapporo Fukokuseimei Koshiyama Building and the hotel is at the same block turning around the corner -Decent room, very large bathroom with separate cubicle of bathtub and toilet - the mattress is towards medium stiff aide which we felt very comfortable - The onsen at the rooftop has decent size, there is a small semi outdoor pool with open roof but still have glass window. The size is large comparing with similar range of hotels.

Spacious room (bugger than avg Japanese hotel), clean, public bath/ onsen till 1am, central location. Nothing much I can ask for
