ANA Holiday Inn Sapporo Susukino by IHG

Business trip, one-night stay. I stay at hotels and ryokans about 60-70 nights a year for business and travel. - Location: Conveniently located near Susukino Station, surrounded by many convenience stores and dining options, making it ideal for enjoying Sapporo's nightlife. - Room: A standard room typical of an international hotel chain. Not particularly luxurious but clean and comfortable. - Facility: As a limited-service hotel, there are few shared facilities available. This is more suited for those who prefer exploring the city rather than spending time in the accommodation itself. The overall impression is that the facility is starting to show its age slightly. - Service: Interaction was limited to check-in at the front desk, but the service was efficient and professional. One mistake on my part was not noticing that parking was available at the hotel; I ended up using a nearby parking lot instead, though there wasn’t much difference in price. - Dining: Having stayed at several Holiday Inn hotels in other regions before, this one offered an excellent breakfast buffet by comparison. The menu had a wide variety of options including fresh sashimi, vegetables, and local delicacies from Hokkaido that are perfect for tourists visiting the area.- Overall satisfaction: As part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, it meets basic quality standards without offering anything particularly extraordinary to captivate guests' hearts—but there’s nothing to complain about either! If you're looking to stay in Susukino area specifically, this hotel can be considered as an option despite being slightly pricier due to its international brand status—something that also reflects its loyal fan base!

I intended to just drop off my luggage, but I was informed that I could check in early. I had some errands to run, so I was grateful for the slightly early check-in. The room felt a bit old, but it was well-maintained and clean, allowing me to have a pleasant stay. There were plenty of hangers, which I made great use of. During my three-night stay, the breakfast menu had some variations, but it was generally the same. However, the variety was extensive, and I was very satisfied. I enjoyed doing fitness exercises while watching YouTube, and the provided cold water was delicious. As an IHG member, I appreciated the welcome water and the morning drinks (mango and guava) that were offered. The greetings from the front desk staff and the cleaning staff in the morning made my stay refreshing. The location was very convenient, being close to the station and near the downtown area, making it an overall excellent experience.
