Dormy Inn Wakkanai Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent
"Itโ€™s a very normal hotel and room. Nothing special. Itโ€™s more like a business hotel than a luxury hotel. It was very clean, the staff was great, and it was in a good location. The price was reasonable. We would stay here again. Breakfast was not included"

"Tidy and clean Japanese Pensioner. Tatami mats and futons were paired with good bedding. Our room had a sink and toilet but we used a communal shower that was clean and well stocked. From the description of the room, it was unclear if there was a shower but it was no problem."

"I traveled from Las Vegas to Tokyo for a wedding. Then I flew up to Hokkaido and finally to Wakkanai. When I arrived at the hotel the attendant called someone to give me a ride to the konbini to gather supplies. She also scheduled a taxi for me the next morning. We exchanged gifts and I told her Iโ€™d be back with loved ones. If you are an adventurer this is a great place to put on your list. I only wish I couldโ€™ve tried the food in the restaurant."
