This was the second time for us staying. Same type of room as last time.
Kind of spacious room with a lot of convenient amenities like kitchen (basic), laundry possibilities etc. This is great for longer term stays with family and that was why we picked it this time as well.
It is a bit outside the city center but the subway connection to Odori is quick so I do not feel that is such a problem. There are a lot of good restaurants in the area (especially to the JR station) so we never felt lacking. Good shopping possibilities for smaller items as well, but not as good as downtown Sapporo. Kotoni is a place where you stay for the night, not to tourist.
