Cross Hotel Sapporo

Nice hotel close to Jr Sapporo station. Provides baby amenities like bed guard, diaper bin. They have a list of amenities you can borrow for free and some you can rent like a baby bed. Air purifier, you can ground your own coffee. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We asked for baby amenities and extra pillows and someone brought it up. There's also car parking at the hotel for 1500yen but it was full, so they directed us to another nearby one for the same cost which you pay at check-out and not at the car park. Lounge was ok for some light snacks and drinks. The bath lounge has a nice view of Sapporo tower, but the men's bath doesn't.

Pros: best beds! This was the 6th hotel in our month long Japan trip their firm Simmons mattresses are the best. Good public bath on the top floor with an open to sky outdoor tub. Excellent friendly staff. Little things like reprogramming the escalator to go down during check out hours, seats at the elevator lobbies, and code to access to the baths makes the stay nicer. Best prefeb bathrooms and also nicely appointed deco. Room size was bigger than your standard business chain hotel. Great location too to Sapporo Station and Odori Park. Cons: although the breakfast selection was adequate, it badly lacked variety. Everyday was the exact same items/menu. I strongly recommend that they change out 20-30% like other hotels. For this reason alone we can not stay more than 5 days. We moved to another hotel due to this breakfast issue. Overall, we would stay here again but again for not more than 4-5 nights due to the breakfast. Its a real pity because we like everything else about it. Almost a prefect score.
