Hotel Route - Inn Hirosaki-Joto

It’s like the same Route-Inn hotel in a different place. The room was clean and the bed was large enough. The toilet and bathtub are small, though there’s a big spa available. Free coffee and mineral water are set out by reception. There’s a small Izakaya bar in the hotel, and free breakfast is available too.

The staff provided excellent service, and the hotel was very clean. The room was on the small side, but not too bad. There’s a public bathing area with a large hot pool, plus free breakfast. You can also get a free drink token if you don’t need daily room service. Plenty of good restaurants are within walking distance. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m in town.

Fine for a short stay, and you get what you booked. Route Inns are all much the same, so there were no surprises. The rooms are small and the bathroom tiny. The restaurant food was nice, though fairly convenient. Shops and other restaurants are within walking distance. I’d recommend it to some extent.

A comfortable little hotel with plenty of parking. Breakfast is included in the price, but it’s below standard, or just a little better than Toyoko Inn. The rate is about 20% higher than Toyoko Inn.
