Grand Mercure Sapporo Odori Park

The airport limousine bus terminates at the Hotel, so check-in was smooth. The Room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast included Sapporo specialties like soup curry, and I was happy to enjoy local cuisine. The salmon Eggs Benedict in particular was outstanding. The Ainu pendant-making event was also fun. It’s within walking distance of Sapporo Station, and the subway station is nearby as well, making it very convenient. The front desk staff were very kind and gave sightseeing advice, so I had a very pleasant stay.

My wife and I stayed here together.The Room was spacious and clean, and we were able to relax comfortably. Even after walking around sightseeing all day, we could unwind properly in the calm atmosphere, and we were very satisfied.What especially stood out was the complimentary lounge available to guests. Not only could we enjoy free draft Sapporo beer, but there were also light snacks provided—it was so well stocked that we couldn’t believe it was free. It really felt like Sapporo and greatly enhanced our stay.It was also very convenient that there was a place to store luggage such as suitcases. We could sightsee hands-free even after checkout, so we were able to enjoy the city of Sapporo right up until it was time to leave.On the other hand, the only disappointing point was the showerhead. The water pressure in normal mode was too low and a bit difficult to use, but when switched to massage mode it became too strong, so there wasn’t a comfortable setting in between.If it were up to me, I would replace the showerhead without hesitation. For example, switching to something like the “SANEI Ultra Fine Bubble Shower Head mitos,” which can be purchased for around 10,000 yen, might significantly improve guest satisfaction.That said, aside from the shower everything else exceeded expectations. The complimentary lounge and luggage storage are thoughtful services that guests truly appreciate.My wife and I had a very comfortable stay, and it was also an excellent base for exploring Sapporo.I hope the showerhead will be improved, but even so, I would like to stay here again next time I visit Sapporo.
