Biggest issue is the elevators. Too crowded and too slow all day long. Staying on the lower floors and waited 5 elevators to board.

The Royal Park Canvas – Sapporo Odori Park
Loved the location, the room (comfy bed!), and the convenience of an on-site laundry and ironing space. Bonus: the hotel is right next-door to an amazing bakery!

Keio Plaza Hotel Sapporo
The sofa was rather uncomfortable to seat for long period. Hope they will replace it with better sofa. The one in my room 1013, the bottom material is torn. Should have extra pillows for each bed excluding the small hard cushions provided. Also wished that the hotel would include more English channels ...
