Hakodate Yunokawa Onsen Umi to Akari / Hewitt Resort
我們是看了有一位住在北海道知名YouTuber介紹，說這家是新飯店，晚餐很豐盛，特別是帝王蟹毛蟹等吃到飽，結果來了以後，對餐飲部分有失望，提供的螃蟹只有一種，應該是熟凍的，蟹腿普遍偏細，沒什麼肉，口感不佳，其他的海鮮就一般，我們住宿的時候是星期六，客人非常多，用餐要選時段，每人限時90分，人多用餐品質就不好，用過的盤子沒有人收。 溫泉在頂樓，可以眺望津輕海峽，這是很大加分。 房間部分，唯一可惜之處是床墊不是用席夢思的，這也是我們在北海道旅行，住過的4家飯店中，唯一不是用席夢思的飯店，睡起來就沒有這麼舒服， 停車場有3處，晚上回來可能就要停在比較遠的地方。 飯店櫃檯人員可以用英語對應，

Hotel’s buffet is good. But if you are staying for more than 1 night, you might not want to pay for half board as the spread for breakfast and dinner doesn’t change. Otherwise, hotel is clean and comfortable. You need a car to move around though as it is not close to town centre.
