Hakodate Hotel Banso
We were shocked to learn that we had to check out by 10 AM and be out of the dining room by 9 AM so we felt very rushed. We were able to stay an extra hour by paying more money. The breakfast buffet was mediocre and the dishes were often not being replenished. Would we stay again? No
