Dormy Inn Wakkanai Natural Hot Spring

I arrived in Wakkanai past midnight. The hotel is super close to Wakkanai Station; you can see its lights just a couple steps outside. Very convenient. The room was quite spacious with a separate wet and dry area for the bathroom.

The hotel staff provided excellent service. The facilities are comprehensive, including a hot spring, complimentary drinks and popsicles, as well as late-night snacks and welcome jelly. The room size was quite generous, and the layout was well-designed.

Facilities: A very new and clean hotel. Ambiance: A very Japanese-style hotel. The outdoor bath in the public bathhouse is excellent. Service: The front desk staff didn't speak much English, and their attitude was a bit stiff. There was an additional charge for children, and the communication was problematic. The old man who checked me in kept trying to charge me in different ways, first saying it was for an extra bed, then calling it some other additional fee. Sigh. Late-night noodles: Very good, could eat several bowls.
