Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo
The room was clean and quiet, and the bedroom and bedding were very comfortable. I also appreciated the basket provided for the onsen. It was really useful and made it easy to carry everything around. The only improvement I would suggest is adding better ventilation in the bathroom.
