Hotel Route-Inn Moriokaminami Inter

The guest room was very clean, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. Shampoo and conditioner were set out by the front desk to take back to the room in a cup. There's also a large public bath on the first floor, a good way to unwind after a long trip. Just note that it has only three shower stalls, so there could be a wait when it's busy.

It's a standard Route Inn without anything especially memorable. I got stuck with a group of students, which made using the bath difficult. There are three washing spots, and the tub is so small that three people can't relax in it. Hey, guys, use the hair dryer in your room instead of hogging it forever!

The staff were kind and polite, which I really appreciated. The rooms are roomy and comfortable, as I've found at other locations where I've stayed many times. Parking was tricky, though, with Hiace vans everywhere, apparently belonging to construction workers staying there. If they're all from one company, I wish they'd park together, haha. Breakfast is a free buffet, and the restaurant seems to serve dinner on weekdays too. I stayed starting Friday and went soon after opening, but there were already people in work clothes. At the wrong time, staff may take a while to come over, so you have to call out when they reach a nearby table. The sashimi was disappointing because it hadn't fully thawed. There are lots of restaurants nearby, so eating out might be a better choice.
