Since the price is low, I think it can be helped that the rooms are old, but basic cleaning is not done properly. I don't smoke, but there was an ashtray in the room to allow smoking, and cigarette ashes were left on the desk. While I was lying in bed, I saw an insect on the bed, but I didn't know what it was. Afterwards, when I checked around my pillow, I found a large number of small, colorful insects that looked like mites (later I looked it up on the internet and found that it was most likely bed bugs), some of which were as large as 0.5 to 1 cm, making me feel uncomfortable and unable to sleep. , I went to the front desk around 22:30, but he was not there. I had no choice but to call the hotel, and the staff was sleeping, so I told them to come to my room right away and they confirmed the insects.I moved my room to another floor, but there was hair on the pillows in that room, and the sheets. The pillows were yellowing and there were black marks that looked like crushed bed bugs, so I immediately asked for the pillows to be replaced.Since then, no insects have been confirmed in the room I moved to, but there were a lot of insects in the bathtub of the unit bath. I had hair, and when I rinsed it off in the shower and put my feet in the bathtub, it became slippery and I almost fell. The gargling cup that held my toothbrush and razor had water collecting at the bottom, and there was even limescale, making it unsanitary and unusable. There was a problem with insects, and even when I moved rooms, there was no minimum level of cleanliness, so I couldn't sleep in peace. I won't be going there again, but I think this hotel will repeat itself unless they drastically improve this area.Afterwards, we contacted the Environmental Hygiene Section, Life Hygiene Division, Kitami Regional Health Office (Kitami Health Center), Health and Environment Department, Hokkaido Okhotsk General Promotion Bureau, and conducted an on-site inspection of the hotel the next day. Several areas for improvement were identified, and the relevant bureau took over the matter for confirmation. It is said that this will be held.

Given the price, I can forgive some age and dirtiness. The manager's grandmother is not a bad person either. In the first place, it is wrong to expect the customer service and service of a major business hotel at a hotel like this.However, the fact that there were bed bugs hiding in the bed is not something I can forgive.Fortunately, I found it before I went to bed, so I wasn't bitten, and I reported it to the manager and was able to change rooms, which was good, but I probably won't be staying there next time.It seems that rooms with bed bugs are exterminated by cooking Balsan, but I think it would be better to have a professional exterminate them.

It was my first time staying here. The location was great, right in the center of the city!Some people may be concerned when they enter the hotel, but the smell feels like the Showa era and the room smells of cigarettes...Do I leave my keys at the front desk when I go out? Should I just leave it there instead of leaving it there? Zero security...The most shocking thing ever was the water pressure in the shower, which was insanely weak...even when I turned the shower on its maximum, the hot water dripped from the tip to my cheeks lol.I happened to be in the elevator with another customer, so when I asked about the shower, we were both surprised to find out that the other rooms were the same lol.The price and location are good, so I recommend it to those who don't mind that lol.

Even though the parking lot is narrow, there are many cars that are forced to stop close to each other (especially in the second parking lot)The selling point is that it's cheap, but I'd like to refrain from using it next time.

It is close to the station and can be used as a base, but it is not suitable for couples or families. The bathroom in the room was not maintained and I was unable to use it. There were also several bedbugs. …

I think the price is low and the location is good, near the station and there are restaurants. I don't know if the receptionist is the owner or a hired employee, but even when I, the customer, complained about that day, he seemed friendly enough (^^)The bathroom in the guest room was not maintained and had a bad smell, so I didn't use it even though I was tired. There were also two bedbug-like creatures on the wall, so I spent the night being careful.
