Hotel Route Inn Owariseto Ekimae

I like it overall. The rooms were bigger than usual business hotels. We liked that there was a couch and a table inside the rooms. Most restaurants around are already closed by 7 so it was great that the restaurant in the hotel is open until 10PM. All the staff were cheerful and courteous. And the breakfast was sumptuous.

I discovered that when I lifted up the toilet seat, there was crusted urine stains which were disgusting. I think the cleaners missed that part. We booked two rooms and the other one was really clean.

Breakfast, staffs

Room is a bit small. Parking lot is a bit far and not free.

Very comfortable

Nothing

This is a. Excellent business hotel - clean and comfortable across the street from the train station. A good breakfast is provided. We used it as a starting point for a day excursion. I was pleased with the efficiency of the front desk

Nice clean room, good size, the public bath was a nice touch

The beds are very firm

The hotel was incredibly clean. There are always multiple staff on-site to help. Be prepared to have a translation app with you as sometimes the English-speaking staff are not there. Either way, they will be quick to try and help you. The city of Seto has a fascinating history as a pottery village and there are wonderful museums and shops just outside of the hotel. The train station is a two-minute walk away. The hotel was exceptionally clean and I loved the eco-friendly program where you can get free alcohol if you don't replace your bedsheets! I'll take it!

Honestly, there was nothing I didn't like about the hotel. I would just point out that the check-out time is at 10am and not 11am, as this might confuse some Western travelers who are used to an 11am check-out time.
