Kushiro Hotels with Gym

The dormy inn is a bit small and older than the other dormy inns i have stayed before. However, we were surprised to learn that this dormy inn offers iced coffee, oolong teas, and pops during 3-9pm, where normal dormy inns would just offer regular hot coffee and americanos. We were so lucky to be able to watch and experience the sunset on the top floor resting area (where the onsen is also location on). The sunset was stunning (tho the ANA Crowne Plaza blocked some of the view) and it was one of the most beautiful sunset i've ever experienced.

Pillows were a bit thin for us. Other than that, everything is wonderful. They even have a coffee grinder. Lovely for a coffee drinkers like us. The location is great if you are looking for peace and love the sound of nature

Shin-Akan is obviously an old hotel. The buffet is OK. The highlight is that there is a large public outdoor swimming pool upstairs. It is mixed for men and women. You need swimsuits. The hotel has prepared them. You can wear theirs. There are swimsuits in the bathroom, or you can wear your own. The open-air hot spring is quite good. You basically take a bath in the hotel's hot spring. The bathroom is very small. In winter, Lake Akan is completely frozen. Maybe because of the weather, you can hardly see any scenery. It is more fun to play snowmobiles and snow sleds. The hotel has a very big problem, because there is a self-service grill for dinner, and many people will grill meat. The restaurant is completely open on the first floor, making the whole building full of the smell of barbecue, which is very bad.

The hotel is in a great location, and the sea view rooms have a view of the sea. The rooftop cafe has a great view of the sunset. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the Nusamai Bridge and the harbor. It is about a 10-minute walk, and there are several restaurants nearby to choose from, making it convenient to find food. The airport bus stops at the city hall, and it takes about 7-8 minutes to walk to the hotel.

I also paid to upgrade to a sea view room (the front desk guy's English was so poor that he said the 14th floor was the 24th floor). I was satisfied with the cleanliness of the room, but I had one nauseating thing during breakfast. I was about to eat some salad, but there was a long hair in it 🤮 ... It's about 15 minutes away from the JR station. It's nice on the pier. If you have a sea view room, the sunset is nice when the weather is good.

It was nice to have a full-sized bathroom! It was very nice to have separate washer & dryer units instead of the typical combo units we've encountered!! It was super nice that the woman at the front desk spoke enough English that she was able to explain our reservation & parking!!! The breakfast was a ”Comfort Suites” style breakfast but had a decent combo of Japanese & Western choices. The stacked parking for our car was well coordinated. This was a ”day of” reservation for us but in a couple ways ”beats” the last Airbnb we stayed at in Tokyo.

The breakfast was very satisfying and delicious. The bath was spacious and there was an open-air bath, so it was a great place to stay. I would like to stay here again.

This is an old hotel that opened in 1976. The overall facilities have the feeling of that era. Although it is old, it is still relatively clean and hygienic. Considering that labor costs in Japan are relatively high, it is acceptable not to provide daily hotel cleaning for multiple-day stays. Those who mind this can avoid this hotel. The breakfast environment is very good. On the 10th floor of the hotel, there is a very good view overlooking Kushiro, which feels like a dream back to the Showa era. The space of the triple room is relatively large because it is set up in the corner of the building. I think this is good.

Very good, convenient location, the first choice in Kushiro! The most favorite thing is that it is very close to the bus terminal and JR, there are many restaurants nearby, and the hotel staff are also very dedicated.
