My stay at The Winning was quite unique compared to typical hotels. The staff were extremely polite and added a personal touch, even escorting me to my room and providing umbrellas when it rained. However, my non-smoking room had a noticeable cigarette odor, which was disappointing. Despite that, the location was perfect, just away from the touristy areas, and the breakfast options were excellent.

The Winning hotel offers a unique experience, providing a warm welcome with personal touches like bowing staff and thoughtful gestures during rainy weather. While the rooms were spacious and clean, I was disappointed to find the non-smoking room I booked had a noticeable cigarette odor. Breakfast was delicious, with a choice of quality options. The location is downtown yet avoids the tourist hustle, but the English proficiency of the staff could be a bit limiting. Overall, it's a solid choice for a stay in Hakodate, though the smoke issue was a drawback.

The Winning Hotel offers a unique experience set apart from typical business hotels. The arrival was grand, with staff bowing and assisting us, which felt very special. The room was spacious and clean, but the strong smell of smoke in a non-smoking room was a downside. Breakfast had great options, and the staff's attentiveness made it pleasant. Its downtown location is great for being away from tourist crowds, yet still accessible.

The hotel offers a unique experience that blends attentive service with a cozy atmosphere, located conveniently near the tram line and the scenic ropeway. The rooms are spacious and tidy, though the non-smoking option may be misleading as I noticed a slight cigarette odor. The breakfast is of excellent quality, providing both Japanese and Western choices. While the overall value is reasonable, the smoking issue in rooms could be a concern for non-smokers.
