Hotéis ROUTE INN em Yamaguchi

Near the station Free to sleep with elementary school students Breakfast is very cheap and the cost performance is the best. I stayed to catch a plane from Ube Airport in the early morning. Just before, I should have been at Ube hotel, not this hotel in Shin Yamaguchi! I thought, but I thought it was comfortable when I stayed and it was good to be this hotel. Breakfast was usually from 6:30 and I gave up not to eat, but when I checked in, I was told that I would open from 6 o'clock tomorrow and I was able to receive it. Because breakfast was free, I didn't expect it, but it was very delicious. The staff also answered me very politely. The room is simple, easy to use and I would like to use it again.

It is located in Yuta Onsen Town, which is a little far from Yuta Onsen Station on the JR Yamaguchi Line, but not far enough to take a taxi, and is used the day before the funeral. The front desk was polite, appropriate, prompt and full. The hot springs are adjacent and are located in a position where the water does not cool. The breakfast menu is a buffet for a business hotel, and the variety is abundant, and the price is 900 yen. I forgot to lend an iphone charger at the front desk for free and was saved. I would like to use it again.

Stayed 2 nights. When I made a reservation, I checked various things on the phone, but the phone response was very kind and pleasant. The entire hotel was clean, the lobby was large, and the front desk staff was very nice. It was a Japanese-style room, but it was spacious and well-cleaned. The large public bath was large and I was able to relax. I had a small child, so I took a private bath, but it was spacious enough, including the dressing room, so I didn't have any problems. The things that bothered me were that the washlet in the toilet in the room didn't work, the elevator closed early and the stroller got stuck, and the parking lot in front of the hotel was full when we arrived late. Sometimes, the only thing left in the bath is horse oil shampoo, so I thought it would be nice to have other shampoos. It was hotel which went of satisfaction including price generally.

　When you get off the Shinkansen at Shin-Yamaguchi and exit the Shinkansen exit, the Shinkansen exit of Toyoko Inn Shin-Yamaguchi Station, which is the place to stay on this day, is located nearby. The familiar Toyoko sign is very noticeable above the hotel, so anyone can easily see it. From the Shinkansen exit, I crossed the pedestrian crossing with a signal and arrived in １ minutes on foot. It is not a luxurious hotel because it is Toyoko Inn. But the building is bright, clean and kept clean. I was happy with the free breakfast, and the staff responded quickly and I liked it.

For the corona countermeasure, breakfast was corresponding to lunch box, but you can eat it in the room meal or breakfast venue. miso soup is instant and vegetables are small, but it is not possible to do it in this time. There were also microwave ovens, so I could warm my lunch box. The parking lot uses the paid parking next door. The price is charged every time you go in and out. I think it was ¥ 500 overnight. As others write, the bath costs 200 yen separately, but when you buy a ticket on a vending machine, you also have shampoo and body soap, and there is a hot spring that usually takes hot water tax. I think it is a range that can be allowed because even the foot bath in the city is paid. Also, if you return it to the front desk without using a toothbrush, you can get sweets.

It’s an old shop. The female players perform very hard at night. The decorations in the shop are very textured. I happened to meet the female shop owner and introduced various crafts enthusiastically. I also bought the special handicraft camellia.

　Close distance from the station 200m. Take dinner at a tavern in front of the station and buy it at a nearby convenience store and check in. The room is relatively relaxing and WIFI complete, but it is a pity that it is not a washlet. After that, it was an ordinary business hotel. It was a cheap hotel with breakfast at less than 5000 yen.

If you would like to enjoy/experience typical high-end Japanese ryokan. You never regret choosing this hotel. The excellent dinner (I chose fugu-kaiseki) is offered at the individual dining rooms with great privacy. You enjoy quiet moment at their beautiful Japanese garden where many carps. People are very kind and attentive. I had a very impressive time there.

The first time I stayed here was on a business trip a couple of years ago. The room was very old, dirty and smelly as it used to be a smoking room. I vowed never to stay there again. Fast forward to this week. Another business trip stay and I reluctantly agreed to stay there as everywhere else was fully booked. I was assured I had a Non-Smoking room. It was not. It was a disgustingly yellow, musty and grimy ****hole of a room! Just stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted with an absolutely disgusting stench from the hallway carpet that has gone from a light blue to a dark murky looking grey, I assume from never being cleaned/shampooed. The room upon entering was no better and I almost threw up, no kidding! The toilet/bathroom has a strip of paper with the word 'Sanitised' on it, on the toilet seat lid. The toilet itself had dark grey stripes inside the bowl. The shower curtain was speckled with mold and the light fixture had dust and lord knows what hanging off it! In the bedroom, the air vent was full of years worth of dust, and it showed on the ceiling with the stripes of grime blasted on the paper. The bedroom carpet was marginally better than the hallway one, but smelled almost as bad. Walls were covered in dirt and dust, with some areas showing peeling paper. The bed covers had HOLES in them!! I dared not sleep inside the bed itself and used the bath towel to lay down on. Upon returning late at night to my home the next day, my wife commented how she could still smell the place on my suit, which I have opted to trash rather than clean, and other clothing items are now soaking overnight to kill off any potential bugs. This hotel used to be a lovely place many many years ago, but it seems neither management nor owners, give a crap about the upkeep of the place. Old fixtures, dirty everything and a stench so bad you wouldn't want your worst enemy to stay there! The one saving grace is the breakfast menu was fresh and plentiful. If I could rate this place any lower, I would. I do NOT RECOMMEND staying here - EVER! Advice to management/owners: CLEAN YOUR HOTEL, UPGRADE EVERYTHING, Trash or BURN every single piece of bed linen, curtains, shower curtains and mattresses as well as that DISGUSTING EXCUSE OF A CARPET! Spend some MONEY ON YOUR BUSINESS! If it was up to me, you'd be SHUT DOWN as a HEALTH HAZARD! My wife and I (Japanese) will be finding out what we can do to report your overpriced ****HOLE and have you do something about it! The pictures I have provided do not show half the story - I have video too and will be happy to share!
