Only issue is the walking distance from the station. If you are ok with that it’s very good.

Hakodate Yunokawa Onsen Umi to Akari / Hewitt Resort
One of the better hotels we have stayed at. The breakfast buffet was huge and the selection of local fish and vegetables was terrific. Room was relatively large by Japan standards and very comfortable. The important question is would we stay there again. ABSOLUTELY!
