　出張でよく利用するホテルです。清潔感と高級感があり、スタッフも皆とても親切です。大浴場があって、ゆったりと利用できますよ！ただし！夜は確か23時終了。これがとても惜しい。仕事が遅くなる私は、あまり入ったことがありません。とてもいい大浴場なんですが・・・。 　ホテル１階に併設されているパンやさんのパンがとてもおいしいですよ！ 　 　駅からは少し遠いので、冬場、雪が多い小樽は、少し歩くことになりますので、それだけは少し覚悟がいります。 　寿司屋通りも近く、小樽の街の真ん中ですので、観光には最適。 　朝食バイキングは、洋食が充実していておすすめです。 more

とくに夕方がいいですね。 小樽の良さを感じることが出来ます。 小樽港まで足を延ばすのもいいですね。 時間にゆとりをもって行かれることをお勧めします。 思いがけない発見があるかもしれません。 more
