Sattsuru Vacations from ￥69,426

Loved this spot mainly because of the great customer service. I wanted to visit this port town and it wasn’t too far from the JR Abashiri station. The staff was really friendly and helped us get a taxi going back to the station and also helped me find where to get a souvenir doll from the town. The room was nice. A little small, but that’s normal for Japan. It was clean. I liked the toothbrushes they give out and brush. The WiFi in the room worked well and there were a few plugs. The sauna on 9F is pretty great and even has an outside spa overlooking the snowy town. Really great way to start my morning before checking out. They also offer free laundry which I wish more hotels did. You only have to pay to dry your clothes. Recommend!

Located in the centre of the town, so there's dining options like bars and yakiniku and convenience stores within walking distance. Keep in mind though it is a town that is in gradual decline and it shows when you walk around, especially down the main or high street a block back from the highway. But the town is still perfectly clean and safe. Parking is onsite and included. It's an older hotel and but still well looked after. The room is centrally climate controlled, which might not be to your comfort - but the window can be opened for ventilation. Good value at the price I paid, but you get what you pay for.
