I appreciate simplicity. Route Inn provides the basics of what I need for accommodation and at a reasonable cost. No frills. Well-mannered staff.

Small, but great

Posted 27 Mar 2017 on Orbitz
We were surprised at how small the room was when we arrived, but believe that is just the way of things in Japan. Everything else was nice and I was amazed at how well the space was utilized. We didn't miss anything we needed. They had everything we needed there even though it was so small. They provide pajamas and slippers (both solid and disposable) to use while there as well as Q-tips, toothbrushes and several other individually packaged things that I didn't really look at. It was cleaned very nicely each day and we enjoyed the breakfast as it allowed us to try many Japanese style dishes.

Ok hotel near the station.

Posted 21 Jul 2014
The location of the hotel is good for Tsuruoka station, although the center of town is a little bit farther away. Perfect for a stop-over before dewa sanzan, since the busses leave nearby. The room was ok, small but clean and comfortable. The breakfast was quite good too.

A not very inviting entry to a hotel. Pleasant people. With hot bath. Restaurant in the evening was quiet. Food was ok.
