Dormy Inn Higashi Muroran Natural Hot Spring

I chose this hotel for a stopover as accommodations in Noboribetsu tend to be expensive and heavily tourist-oriented. This hotel, however, offers excellent value with thoughtful touches that enhance the experience. From the moment you check in, you’ll find delightful surprises like complimentary Yuzu-flavored biscuits, ice cream, and Yakult drinks. In the evening, they even serve free, tasty ramen noodles—an unexpected treat! The hotel also features a complimentary onsen spa and massage chairs, adding a touch of relaxation to your stay. While the onsen experience here doesn’t quite match the famous sulfuric onsens of Noboribetsu, it’s still a welcome perk. The rooms are comfortable, with strong water pressure in the showers and reliable, fast Wi-Fi. It’s clear the hotel pays attention to providing a convenient and pleasant stay. The only downside is the parking situation. The hotel uses a car elevator system due to limited space, which can get quite congested during peak times in the morning. Additionally, parking isn’t free—it costs around 700 yen for overnight parking, which may be a consideration for some travelers. Overall, this hotel offers great value with its thoughtful amenities and comfortable accommodations, making it a wonderful alternative to the pricier, busier options in Noboribetsu.

We stayed 2 nights here with our 5 year old child. The queen size bed is not big enough to accommodate us, so we got another room on the spot. Free ramen and ice cream from 9.30pm to 11pm daily and free yakult during breakfast, is a bonus. Breakfast is simple but has a good variety. The room is clean and they will place another basket of clean towel even though we did not request for room cleaning. However, there is not much food option around the hotel, need to drive and venture out.

nice indoor and outdoor onsen, many restaurants located near the hotel so there's lots of dinner options. also convenient break point to start a day journey to cape chikyu or elsewhere.
