Dormy Inn Higashi Muroran

I chose this hotel for a stopover as accommodations in Noboribetsu tend to be expensive and heavily tourist-oriented. This hotel, however, offers excellent value with thoughtful touches that enhance the experience. From the moment you check in, you’ll find delightful surprises like complimentary Yuzu-flavored biscuits, ice cream, and Yakult drinks. In the evening, they even serve free, tasty ramen noodles—an unexpected treat! The hotel also features a complimentary onsen spa and massage chairs, adding a touch of relaxation to your stay. While the onsen experience here doesn’t quite match the famous sulfuric onsens of Noboribetsu, it’s still a welcome perk. The rooms are comfortable, with strong water pressure in the showers and reliable, fast Wi-Fi. It’s clear the hotel pays attention to providing a convenient and pleasant stay. The only downside is the parking situation. The hotel uses a car elevator system due to limited space, which can get quite congested during peak times in the morning. Additionally, parking isn’t free—it costs around 700 yen for overnight parking, which may be a consideration for some travelers. Overall, this hotel offers great value with its thoughtful amenities and comfortable accommodations, making it a wonderful alternative to the pricier, busier options in Noboribetsu.

Dormy Inn got a hot spring facility is a plus for all visitors, especially you can relax in some hot water after an exhausted day. Food and convenient store nearby for your stomach. This is not a tourist famous location but good for travelling from Sapporo to Hakodate and take a night break as middle stop instead of 4 hours driving. A few tourist stop within 10 mins drive on your own. Good for self drive tourist!

Good decent onsen & sauna, breakfast was good too. Parking available at 700yen.
