"I saw comments mentioning a pick-up service from Chitose Station, so before checking in, I specifically emailed the hotel to confirm. They replied that I could take a taxi, hand the receipt to the front desk, and the hotel would reimburse the metered fare.
However, upon checking in, the front desk refused to process the reimbursement, claiming I took a taxi from the 'wrong exit.' Chitose Station itself has two exits, and the hotel did not specify which exit to use in their email, nor did they mention any specific requirements for other taxi pick-up locations.
I then showed the front desk the email the hotel had sent me before my stay. Even with that, we argued about the issue for a while before they finally agreed to process the reimbursement. During the process, the front desk repeatedly emphasized that this was an 'exception' and would not be handled this way in the future.
If there were designated pick-up exits or location restrictions, the hotel could have clearly stated them in the email before check-in or on the booking platform. The fact that the front desk immediately identified that I took a taxi from the wrong exit after seeing the fare suggests that other guests have encountered similar issues before. Given this, the hotel should have proactively explained this in the email instead of waiting until the guest checks in to inform them.
The room itself matched the pictures, and it felt like it had been thoroughly cleaned, but because the hotel is quite old, there were still some minor issues. The morning airport shuttle was very reliable, the driver was friendly, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the airport."
