This is an inn run by the master alone.As a single person staying without meals, this is the best accommodation I have experienced. I want to give it 6 stars.There is nothing to complain about in terms of cleanliness, convenience, service, storefront, cuteness of Marco's, price, parking lot, and wifi, but if I have to say, the flooring makes noise.Otaru is a city that can be enjoyed until late at night, so please enter and exit as quietly as possible when returning to your accommodation. That feeling is sure to be conveyed to other guests.I wasn't there when I was there, but if by some chance there was a guest who was so insane that he wouldn't be afraid to hear footsteps late at night and couldn't even stay upwind of the guest house users, it would be hopeless for him to get a good night's sleep.If I were to take a negative point, it would be...During the daytime, ventilation is important, so in the summer, flying insects can get into the cafe area, but please be patient. Also, we are not operating a cafe. Bed making is self-service.There are no hygiene-related insects or odors. I gave it 4 stars because I really don't like it when it's crowded. I really want to give it 6 stars.

The inn's dog, Marco, will sit on your leg if you pet his head nicely and you can continue to touch him for a while. It's very friendly and cute. I checked in around 3:00 pm, and was planning to go out and touch him again after coming back, but by 7:00 pm, he had already gone home with his owner. If you're looking for a dog, I think it's best to touch them within the designated time.

As soon as we arrived at the inn, we were greeted by Marco, a yellow beagle, and guided inside by the owner's gentle guidance. It was so comfortable that I was relaxing on the bed while reading the memory notes of the guests. A comfortable space that cannot be described in words. This is definitely an inn I would like to come back to again.

I wonder when it was the last time I slept so soundly.There's no TV here either. There is also no air conditioning.However, you can enjoy the natural night breeze without being distracted by the sound of the TV.In the morning, you'll be greeted with delicious coffee and a beagle named Marco.Some people may dislike them.But I found it surprisingly comfortable myself.We got so excited about talking about dogs that I ended up being late for the meeting, so I had to give a ride to the venue. I can only thank you m(_ _)m

Stayed in a semi-double roomDue to the increase in the number of visitors to Japan, all hotels are expensive, and the price for a room without meals was 5,000 yen, so I decided to stay there.The room was clean, but the bed was so rocky that the springs were sticking out, making it uncomfortable.The room only has a bed, a small table, and a chair.There is no TV or refrigerator, so the room is just for sleeping.There are no amenities, so you have to purchase or rent them for a fee at check-in.There is only one shared unit bath, located next to the semi-double room.People who came home late take turns bathing, so it's so noisy I can't sleep.The sound of footsteps can be heard in the hallways, so this is not a place for people who are nervous.

The lobby and guest rooms seem to have a unified retro atmosphere, but it's calming. Convenient location for canal sightseeing.

The parking lot is located opposite the inn and is a concrete paved space. It's run by an elegant wife, so it's no surprise that there are many repeat customers. If it's not a tropical summer night, it's a great place to stay.
