Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sapporo-Susukino 相鉄フレッサイン 札幌すすきの 札幌薄野相鐵Fresa Inn

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sapporo Susukino is a 200-room, lodging-focused hotel located in Minami 5-jo Nishi 2-chome in central Sapporo. It sits just a one-minute walk from Exit 4 of Hosui-Susukino Station on the Toho Line and about four minutes from Exit 3 of Susukino Station on the Namboku Line, giving guests convenient access to two subway routes. Odori Park, the Sapporo TV Tower, and the Tanukikoji Shopping Street are all within walking distance, making the hotel a practical base for both sightseeing and business.

The hotel opened in September 2022 as the first Sotetsu Fresa Inn in Hokkaido. All guestrooms are non-smoking, with a designated smoking booth on the first floor. The entire building uses the SOU-BISUI purified water system, meaning all water from the bathroom taps and showers is filtered. Besides being safe to drink, the softened water reduces chlorine smell, offering a more comfortable bathing experience.

Room types center around Doubles and Twins. Double room categories range from the Economy Double (approx. 11.7–12.5㎡) and Standard Double (approx. 13.7–14.7㎡) to the Comfort Double and Superior Double (approx. 16.4㎡), offering choices suited to different needs and budgets. Twin options include the Standard Twin (approx. 17㎡), Superior Twin (approx. 22㎡), and a 35㎡ Connecting Twin created by joining two rooms—ideal for families or groups of three to four.

Every room features a Sealy mattress, known as the No.1 bedding brand in the U.S. market, with even the Economy Double equipped with a 140cm-wide double bed. All rooms include a humidifying air purifier, 40-inch class smart TV, free Wi-Fi and wired LAN, refrigerator, electric kettle, and a safety box. A dedicated desk area makes the rooms suitable for laptop work, online meetings, and other business tasks.

Bathrooms are unit-style, with a combined bathtub, shower, and toilet equipped with a bidet function. Standard amenities include shampoo, conditioner, body soap, toothbrushes, towels, nightwear, and slippers. Some amenities are provided through a lobby amenity bar, where guests can take what they need. The hotel highlights that the purified water system also applies to bath and shower water, setting it apart from many business hotels.

Breakfast is served at “Ys susukino” on the first floor and features a Japanese–Western buffet. Dishes incorporate Hokkaido ingredients and include rice, bread, salads, hot items, desserts, and more. With around 40 seats, breakfast is served from 6:30 to 10:00 (last entry at 9:30), suiting both guests who prefer a hearty meal and those who want something quick before heading out. The restaurant also offers lunch service on select days, functioning as a café-style dining space for non-guests as well.

Facilities include coin-operated laundry machines, vending machines, an ice maker, a microwave, and a smoking booth. The building is designed with accessibility in mind: wheelchair-friendly entrances with ramps, elevators that accommodate mobility devices, and partial Braille signage. Universal Twin rooms are available for guests who require barrier-free accommodations. The front desk operates 24 hours, providing luggage storage, courier services, and other standard business-hotel support.

The hotel does not have its own parking lot. Guests are directed to nearby partner parking facilities or public coin-operated lots. The official website lists several nearby multistory and open-air options, and the front desk stamps parking tickets or explains payment procedures as needed. Since availability, fees, and height restrictions differ by lot, it is recommended to check the latest information in advance when arriving by car.

All payments are cashless only—cash is not accepted. The hotel supports major credit cards and various QR code payment methods including PayPay, Rakuten Pay, d払い, au PAY, LINE Pay, Alipay+, and WeChat Pay. Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 11:00. Sotetsu Hotels Club members receive benefits such as early check-in or late check-out depending on their plan.

Overall, Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sapporo Susukino stands out for its convenient station proximity, fully non-smoking environment, whole-building purified water system, and cashless operations. With compact Double rooms as well as spacious Twin and Connecting options, it is a well-balanced choice for travelers who want to explore the Susukino and Odori areas on foot while staying in a clean, modern, and efficient business hotel.
