Hotel Crown Hills Kushiro

Lovely restaurant for both breakfast (traditional Japanese with a wide variety of options - all beautifully presented) and dinner. The position was perfect for the bus trips we made each day, and very close to the railway station (with easy access for luggage), and for walking to the port area ( about 1 kilometer through the flat part of the city).

Our first room was VERY small and not as clean as it should have been (we felt we had been relegated to the least-used room!). However, on request, we were moved to a much larger and more comfortable room which was exceptionally clean and relaxing.

The staff was friendly and could speak some English. The room was fitted with all basic amenities and was slightly larger than other economy hotels. There is parking available; if you pull up to the parking area, the staff might have you park underneath the hotel or in the parking lot across the street. The location is decent, as the hotel is across the street from the train station and about two-three blocks down from the Washo Market. I stayed at the hotel comfortably for three nights.

Nothing particularly; I would say that if you plan to utilize the train station, it's a perfect location, but if you want to be closer to restaurants and more "scenic" areas, there are hotels with better location.
