Property announcements

[Notice] Recommendation to Use Public Transportation on July 24-26, 2026
The 60th Otaru Ushio Festival is scheduled for 3 days from July 24 (Fri.) to 26 (Sun.), 2026.
Due to people coming for the festival, parking lots in Otaru City are expected to be full every day.
In addition, as this hotel is near the venue, it may be affected by traffic restrictions during this period.
As previously announced, the hotel parking lot fee will be JPY 1,200 per vehicle per night (15:00 - 12:00 the next day) on a first-come, first-served basis.
As the hotel's parking lot is also limited, it is expected to fill up right away.
Normally, when the hotel parking is full, guests will be guided to a nearby coin parking lot, but it is assumed that all parking lots will be full due to the festival.
For the above dates, arriving by public transportation is recommended.
Please take note of this prior to booking. Thank you for your understanding.

[Notice of Lodging-wide Power Outage]
A required inspection (power outage work) will be carried out at the lodging.
As such, there will be a lodging-wide power outage during the schedule below. (Guestroom electricity and elevators, etc. cannot be used.)
Date: Apr. 16, 2026 (Thu.)
Hours: 11:30 - 14:30 (scheduled)
