There is something wrong with spg.com. Hiroshima is thousands miles away from Sapporo. They are actually in the opposite side of Japan. The one close to Sapporo is Kitahiroshima which I don't think is the one you refer to.
Take a look at the map below.

I tried to piece together details from some of the other reviews but thought I would just ask. Is this a convenient hotel if he is taking a train from Tokyo, and will than want to take public transportation or a tour to Hiroshima? Or is the fact it is 10 miles outside the city not worth the free room I would give him?
