Canal Inn Otaru Furukawa

This was my third stay, and every time I’m amazed by the thoughtful attention shown to guests.Even though I was traveling solo and only had breakfast included, I was treated so warmly, which I truly appreciate.As soon as I parked, a staff member came right out and carried my luggage for me.I even had a laptop with me, so it was quite heavy, but they carried it cheerfully and with great care.A staff member I’d spoken with before remembered my name and kindly took the time to greet me even while busy cleaning—it made me very happy.Last time, when Kanaru suddenly wandered off, they gently reassured me by saying, “It’s because a staff member who gives him treats just walked by,” which really warmed my heart.This time I got to pet him a lot, and I was also glad to hear more stories about Kanaru.Even late at night when heading toward the parking lot, there were staff members at the front desk and near the entrance/exit area, which made me feel safe.At breakfast as well, the pleasant greetings and guidance put me in a great mood,and having someone serve rice and miso soup made me feel at ease—I didn’t have to worry about spilling anything.I also overheard them telling another guest, “A window seat has opened up—would you like to move over?” and it really showed how much they want guests to be happy.(I understand this depends on timing and available seating.)At checkout too, they carried my heavy luggage all the way to my car—I was impressed until the very end.There were countless other thoughtful touches and support that I can’t possibly list them all.The more I visit, the more comfortable it feels here.Among Accommodations with high Reviews online there are some where you wonder why—but this place is the opposite.I honestly think 5.00 would be fair; in reality it exceeds its Reviews!As soon as I got home, I already wanted to come back again.

The Room, bath, and all areas of the Accommodation were kept very clean. When we returned from going out, the staff stayed close by and even brought our key for us, which was a thoughtful touch. Breakfast starts at 7:00, but when we explained that eating then would make us miss our train, they prepared a breakfast we could eat in our Room at 6:30. It was extremely helpful. The canal-side view from the Room was wonderful, and the sunrise was truly beautiful. We would like to stay again.
