"Nice place. One of the better APA hotel. Their pillow is good and I was tempted to purchase one of it. Please note that other APA hotels don't sell them except online. Edit: This is my 2nd stay in this property. The exceptional staff named 菊地 sure knows how to read my mind when I asked her for assistance! When I am back in Obihiro, I will definitely come back again. Car park wise, there are guide (from the pamphlets) make sure you ask the staff where you are located at and also use Google Translate!"

"The staff was friendly and efficient; hotel offers free wine tasting. The lobby is nice."

"The onsen water quality was absolutely excellent. The breakfast was delicious and server was courteous and very friendly. The room was comfortable, clean, nice bed. The wifi was super fast. The parking attendant was very helpful and check in and out were super easy. Great service and nice stay overall. Love the ramen always, yogurt drinks and ice cream. You can feel the difference staying at Dormy Inn."

"Everything is good but the breakfast could be improved."

"This was a great overnight option as we passed through on our ski trip. Enjoyed the onsen and breakfast. Parking on site was convenient. "

"Firstly, Takashisan (the manager) is incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. He speaks limited English, but uses WhatsApp and a translator when needed. He organises bus to/from Tomamu Resort, answers questions, and helps with everything. White House is a budget accomodation, it is not as fancy as Tomamu Resort. But is well organised, and you can get a bus to/from Tomamu at several times each day for 500Yen each trip. Make sure you arrange these trips in advance with Takachi (eg. on WhatsApp). Reception is often unmanned, and there is no restaurant or bar. But noodles and tea/coffee are available, including microwave, if you need to cook something up. There are good bathroom facilities, and hair dryer, towels, soap, shampoo. There are also washing facilities available (300Yen or so). White House is warm, but it is an old style wooden construction, and I had a bit of trouble sleeping with people coming an going on the old wooden stairs. Luckily, other guests are mostly Japanese and therefore well behaved (!) (I was the only Australian, thankfully). If you bring your own cereal / breakfast, you can eat at the front area - there are tables. Otherwise, it is 2600 Yen for a terrific buffet breakfast at Tomamu Resort - get the 7:20am bus from White House to Tower 1. SUMMARY: Good quality, warm, and friendly alternative, if Tomamu Resort is too expensive for you. "
