“Great value”
The in-house onsen was good and free. As usual in Japan, the staff were very polite and courteous. Rooms were a good size for Japan. This Route-Inn hotel sensibly offered an 'eco' option such that in exchange for not having clean bed linen and towels every day we were given two free beer tokens each - for two people so four beers (from a vending machine) - a good deal given we only stayed for 3 nights. Why some other travellers hotels in Japan don't do something similar is strange. The two ART hotels we stayed at for four nights earlier on this holiday each changed bed linen and towels every day - such a waste of water and energy in this day and age. So well done Route-Inn.

“It is a basic hotel. The rooms are small but clean, and this was reflected in the cheap price.”
The hotel had a good bath. It had washing machines and seperate dryers, so we were able to wash our ski clothes. Some of the staff were able to speak English well. It was a good location ,close to train station and with free parking for our car. Restaurants were close by (walking distance) and offered an authentic Japanese experience.
