During my consecutive stay, I went to the front desk around 9:00 pm to ask for the passcode for the public bath, but there was no staff there, and there was no doorbell.There was no response when I called out to the back, so I waited for a while, but no one answered. I didn't come. . .Even if they aren't always there, I would like them to have a system that allows them to respond to customers as soon as they arrive.

I stayed here near Gokasho to experience the Omi merchants. I support Root Inn because it has a large public bath.It is very convenient as it is adjacent to Yokaichi Station. After checking in, I went to Higashi-Omi City Hall to get a tourist pamphlet related to Omi merchants. It was nice that they also rent bicycles, making it easy to walk around the station.I felt that the Wi-Fi in the room was a little slow. That's all I noticed, and it's not really a complaint. For dinner, many restaurants are closed on Mondays, so I ended up buying some side dishes at the nearby Al Plaza. The advantage is that you can usually choose both.

Even if I tried to make a reservation, I couldn't get a reservation for the day before or on the day. It's a hotel that you can't stay at when you want to stay because there are no vacancies. I had registered as a member, but due to the reasons mentioned above, I canceled my membership. If you can't make a reservation, the appeal of being a member is zero. I will never stay at a Route Inn again.

I used it with my relatives and family during the Obon holiday.The room was well-cleaned and had a very clean feel.The staff were also very kind and polite, which was great.There was also a large public bath where you could relax and there was no changing of men and women, so you could enter without worrying about the time. *There may be times during the night when you may be temporarily closed due to cleaning.Also, the breakfast buffet had a homemade feel to it, and although it didn't have a huge number of items, each item was very delicious! !I recommend the butter croissant 🥐 I could eat it easily ^_^I really want you to eat it lol

The rooms are also clean and spacious. There are two parking lots available, which is convenient. Near the station. There is also a delicious pub within a 3 minute walk. We also have staff who are fluent in English, so even foreigners won't have any trouble. I thought I would use it again. The public bath was also nice.

Although I was alone, I was able to stay in a twin room plan. The room was clean and the TV was big. The shower is about average. Wi-Fi is a little slow. The bed's firmness is just right, but the pillows are too high. I put up with it and slept, but in the middle of the night I couldn't stand it anymore and went to the front desk to have it changed. Sorry about that part. The view from the window was not good as it was on the 3rd floor.There were two elevators, which was better for a hotel of this size. The public bath seemed a little small, but it was comfortable because I went during a busy time.There is a Family Mart convenience store within walking distance, but there is a supermarket just in front of it. I don't know because I don't go to the supermarket, but if you have to go to the department of what you want and wait in line at the register, I think it would be faster to go to a convenience store.

This is a hotel for corporate businessmen near the station. There is also a hot spring bath where you can be healed. |The room is small but not cramped. …
