Check-in runs from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and check-out is at 11:00 a.m. Its location works well for business stays in Chitose, as a base for exploring Hokkaido, or for overnight stays before and after flights.

A key feature of the hotel is that every guest room comes equipped with full in-room appliances and kitchen facilities. Room types range from 16㎡ doubles and 18–25㎡ twins to a 48㎡ connecting room. All rooms include a kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator with freezer, rice cooker, electric kettle, and washing machine—creating a setup where you can “unpack your suitcase and start living immediately.” Twin rooms with full kitchen and laundry facilities are particularly popular among long-stay guests, while the compact Small Twin has a simpler layout.

Interiors throughout the hotel feature a simple, modern design with white tones and wood accents. décor is intentionally understated to remain comfortable even during long stays. All rooms offer individual air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Each also includes a TV, sofa or desk, and functional furnishings suited for teleworking or remote work. Bathrooms are unit-style, but since the hotel opened in May 2021, the water facilities feel clean and well-maintained, which is reflected in many reviews.

In line with its concept, the hotel is designed to support everything from short visits to one-week or one-month stays. Guests can easily mix eating out with light self-cooking by purchasing groceries from nearby supermarkets or convenience stores. The entire hotel is non-smoking, and shared areas include sanitizer stations, cashless payment options, and 24-hour security—covering the essentials expected of modern accommodations.

Breakfast is served as a set meal rather than a buffet, aligning with the hotel’s home-like approach. Featured options include a local-style tamago-kake-gohan set made with eggs from Chitose and specialty soy sauce, as well as sandwich sets using bread from the long-established local bakery Morimoto. Both Japanese and Western-style sets are available, and breakfast-inclusive plans can be booked in advance. Portions strike a good balance for both hearty eaters and those who prefer something light.

While the hotel does not have a public bath or hot spring, in-room bathrooms paired with washing machines and drying functions make it easy to complete daily routines as you would at home. All rooms include bidet toilets, and amenities such as toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, and roomwear are provided. One wheelchair-accessible room is also available, featuring step-free movement and thoughtful barrier-free design.

For transportation, a local bus stop sits directly in front of the hotel, offering convenient connections around the city. Parking for about 30 cars is available free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis, with nearby paid lots recommended when full. The location works well as a hub for trips to Lake Shikotsu, Tomakomai, Otaru, or Sapporo, and guests can easily combine car travel with JR for flexible itineraries.
