Today we had to catch the airport bus and headed to the Hakodate airport. There's were few reasons why i picked Hakodate Grand Hotel. http://www.solarehotels.com/hotel/hokkaido/hakodate-grand-hotel/
1. Bigger room than usual hotels with wifi
2. Affordable than most hotels since it is not located near the tourist hotspots.
3. Bus stand to the airport is directly outside the hotel and it is the 1st pickup point going to airport
Cons:
1) its 15 mins away from Red Brick Warehouse, hence if its during winter or rainy season, you be shivering from the cold so its better to take tram instead. However even the tram stand is 5 mins away.
2) Alot restaurants nearby close early (9 - 10pm already closed) and opened at specific time during the day (closed by 2 or 2.30pm and open again at 6pm). Luckily lawson is just opposite the hotel!
I am very glad that i chose this hotel as i realised even though the bus stand stated the timing of arrival of the bus, the bus will not wait for the exact time to arrive and drove off if no one is there. Probably the early timing that we took as well 8am so the bus driver knew there will be very few person waiting (thats my assumption).
Due to the hotel was the 1st pickup point, the bus arrived on time and as we past the later bus stops, the bus driver drove off seeing there's nobody. Its only when the bus arrived at the Hakodate JR station bus terminal then we waited there and departed at the timing the board stated. Each person only costed 420 yen each ride, i highly recommend to take the bus to airport. Just have to be careful and waited 10-15 mins earlier at the bus stand unless its my hotel or at the bus terminal in front of Hakodate Station.
