Hotel MyStays Sapporo Station

The family room is quite small and hard to open a couple of large luggages. Pay the little extra money for a corner premium twin room, all the equipment is better and the room is about twice the size. Standard japanese hotel design and rooms. There is an elevator across the street at lawson's building that goes directly down to the underground JR passage but it is not temperature controlled and really cold. Also a few elevators in that passage to the JR entrance so you do not need to lug your luggage in the snow. Hotel is a good choice if you need a big room and want to stay close to the JR station.

Hotel close to Sapporo station north exit if you take the train from the airport. Walk underground to the building across with Lawson's and escalator and elevator in case you have luggages/strollers. However leaving the JR building it gets very cold and the walkway in no longer temperature controled. Good location but few dinning spots in the immediate area, most will be at the station. If coming during winter, you will encounter a little snow on the pathway adjacent to the hotel on the side and after the hotel front entrance. The corner premium twin rooms are like double the size of family rooms for just a few extra dollars. Plus they have premium tv with built in YouTube and Netflix not available in the family rooms. Separate toilet and bathing rooms, walk in closet. Wifi speed about 10 Mbps. The only strange thing about the premium twin room was that there was always a cold draft from somewhere either the toilet or the large windows.
