Sobetsu Hotels with Wifi

"5 star view. The wow factor is at the lobby where the impressive floor to ceiling windows are clear enough to showcase Mt Yotei and the surrounding lake. The view from the room is also great. Fireworks can be seen clearly. Food wise, I say it's decent buffet fare. For the bundled price, it's pretty value for money. Maybe I was there during the off peak period, so I don't face many of the overcrowding or bad WiFi issues others do especially during peak season. The bad. I was given the very last room at the end of the corridor. There is no aircon. Towards the evening, the room was stuffy and hot. I called reception and was told that due to the season where Lake Toya area was supposedly cold, the hotel turn off Central aircon. But also thanks to the typhoon, there was a hotter than usual spell. I was advised to open my room door so that the cold air from the opened windows along the corridor can cool my room down. But no amount of cooling helped if there's no circulation. In the end, I asked for a fan. For the first time, I slept in a warm hotel room with a fan on. The pillow was also very flat. So I totally didn't get much rest. I think the hotel management need to exercise some discretion in knowing when to prioritise guests comfort over saving electricity or following protocol. Tldr: good views but bad rooms"

"The hotel is in front of one of the eight views of Lake Toya, a very beautiful lake. There is no lift, so you have to carry your luggage to your room yourselves. They have a coffee and tea machine near the staircase where you can get it free of charge. We only wish that the soap and shampoo come in bottles and not small packets of one time use."

"My stay at Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort was very close to perfection. The highlight was undoubtedly the food. I experienced one Kaiseki dinner that completely exceeded my expectations. Every course showcased remarkable attention to detail, from the artistic presentation to the exceptional quality of ingredients and refined flavours. It wasn't simply a meal; it felt like a carefully choreographed culinary journey. Breakfast was equally impressive. Guests can choose between a Japanese or Western set breakfast, complemented by access to a buffet featuring fresh local offerings and no fewer than six varieties of healthy morning shakes. It is rare to find a resort that pays such careful attention to both indulgence and wellness. The service throughout the resort was warm, professional, and distinctly Japanese in its precision. The property itself blends beautifully with the tranquil surroundings of Lake Toya, creating a peaceful atmosphere that encourages guests to slow down and simply enjoy the moment. The only reason I am not awarding a perfect score is the private in-room onsen and the resorts main onsen located on level 3. While the bath itself was excellent, the view was partially obstructed, preventing guests from fully appreciating the stunning scenery that makes Lake Toya so special. Had the view been completely unobstructed, this would have been an easy 9 out of 10 experience. Why only 9/10 and what is the remaining 1 point deduction you ask? Please know that you need a car to go around as there is no stores, restaurants, or convenient stores within walking distance. You need to drive 4mins to get to the next convenience store. There is a main township where most hotels, 7eleven, lawson etc are located."

"Hotel at the main tourist street are insanely expensive. This is a much affordable option for those planning to visit mt usu and lake toya. But it is closer to Mt usu ropewalk. Hotel is outdated, probably needs an upgrade. Receptionist is very polite and helpful."
