Hotel Kolam Air Panas di Kitami

何回か利用させてもらってます。 お風呂もゆったりと浸かれて とても気持ちが良いです。

We (my wife and I) were placed at the Route Inn Kitami Nishi Odori for three nights after the original hotel in Kitami where we had a reservation closed unexpectedly. Route Inn is a business hotel chain in Japan, and is reasonably priced, and the rooms are not bad. Here was my experience. We arrived at 4 pm and proceeded to the check-in. I spoke to the check-in woman in Japanese, gave her my name, and she confirmed we would be staying for three nights (we means 1 permanent resident of Japan (me), and 1 Japanese person (my wife)). The female clerk handed me a check-in card and asked me to complete it. I did, giving my name and address in Japanese. She then said to me ”在留カードかパスポートコピーを取らせてください。This means, ”Please allow me to take a photocopy of your foreign registration card or passport. I responded in my most polite Japanese, ”お断り致します。日本の住所ある永住者です。必要ないです。This means, ”I refuse. I am a permanent resident of Japan with a Japanese address. It isn't required.” She simply answered, ”分かりました。I understand.” I'm sorry, but you heard me speak Japanese. You saw me enter my information in Japanese. And yet, you ask for something I am not required to give you. I am not a tourist. What it is is discrimination, plain and simple, because you saw a foreigner. And this is not the first hotel in Hokkaido where this has happened to me. After this unpleasant event, I paid, using my Japanese credit card issued by my local Hokkaido bank. The Japanese man next to me checking in at the same time was not asked to show any identification. Yet, because I don't look Japanese, I must show you my ID, even when the person with me is Japanese? No. I will not. And please feel free to check with the police to confirm what I am telling you. The law clearly states (and I know this because I have read it in Japanese) that non-Japanese with a Japanese address do not have to show any identification to check-in, and cannot be refused check-in for not showing an ID (Law related to hotel lodging, parts 5 and 6.). I cannot tell you how much that request will instantly ruin a pleasant stay. It certainly ruined mine. And when I looked over at my wife standing next to me listening to everything, she was really saddened seeing this happen to me because she saw firsthand the discrimination here. So, Route Inn, please stop asking non-Japanese residents of Japan for ID. It is not, and has never been, a requirement. Because of this, I will not stay at your hotel again. Now, let me get to the rest of the hotel review. The room was reasonably comfortable for a hotel outside of one of Hokkaido's main cities. And the temperature controls made the room comfortable. The beds, however, are really really hard. That's not bad for people who like a hard bed. But, be aware, they are very hard. The bathroom was a unit bath but reasonably large for a business hotel. I did not use the restaurant at breakfast, nor the communal bath on the first floor, but my wife did. She stressed that breakfast was nearly impossib

傳統的日式酒店，非常好。

Location is convenient with parking available within vicinity (paid). Centrally located with many restaurants nearby. Good place to stop by for a night on our road trip towards east Hokkaido.

北見市内に出張した際に、利用いたしました。 　新しいホテルで部屋の清潔さは維持されており、快適に宿泊させて頂きました。 浴室の水圧も十分であったと考えます。 　今回は夕食をホテルレストランbikuraで頂きました。フロントに置かれたドリ ンク(アルコール)無料券も利用出来ました。食材やメニューなどは地場を意識 したものであり、値段も安価で味も量も満足できるものでした。 　朝食も種類多く、エッグステーションのサービスもありました。北海道の地域 よっては近隣ホテルとの競争があるのか、ホテル側の意気込みを感じるところです。 　フロントスタッフの対応も丁寧であり、支払った宿泊代金の対価は十二分に あったと感じております。 　今後も北見市内に出向く際は、利用させて頂きます。

駐車場は、向い側にある立体駐車場で、 夜９時を過ぎるとホテルに近い側のエレベーターが停止してしまい、ホテルからは遠いエレベーターが稼働しており、荷物を持ちながら、土地勘の無い私にとっては、移動が少々大変でした。ホテル側の問題ではないのですが、事前に（コメントがあるのを見落としていたのかもしれませんが、）ご案内の中で、もう少し表示が目立つと有難いかと。 それ以外では、女性の大浴場がなく、男性だけということで、オシャレなアメニティーグッズを頂きました。備え付けのシャンプー等いい香りがして、室内も綺麗でした。 テレビも、YouTubeが見れたりと、くつろぐごとができ、また泊まりたいと思います。 朝食も、美味しくて、食べ過ぎてしまいました｡お世話になりました。

1. Hot springs has no smell nor color. not so unique 2. Both breakfast and dinner are less than expected 3 I stayed on the 2nd but toilet for men are only available on the 1st 4 On checking out, I asked them to keep my bag while I spend time before bus time. They told me to put it somewhere and there is no claim tug. I strongly asked them to keep it inside the front desk and they did so. When I came back, there were no one responding so I tried to find it and found it.

昨年、使い勝手が良かったため、また使わせてもらいました。 何よりも、現地でまん防野影響により大浴場と夜食サービスが中止だったのが痛いです。 大浴場については沖縄県でも中止は聞いたことなかったため、ガッカリしました。 ただ、昨年同様に熟睡できたので、評価はそこまで下げません。
