Hotel Route Inn Suwa Inter

Our tour group of 35 arrived late afternoon at this hotel and were greeted with 1 quite slow lift to our rooms. On arrival to our room we discovered another Japanese style rather small room with 2 single beds which were unbelievably hard unfortunately, a small table and 2 chairs, small bar fridge, and old style flat screen tv, and a typical very small but practical bathroom. The view from our room was over the local main road, shops, and rooftops but a distant view to the mountains behind the town gave us a beautiful morning view after overnight snow had fallen. The breakfast area was adequate and again catered for Japanese and Western tastes but was reasonably limited but adequate. The hotel advertised evening meals in the dining room but were turned away for some strange reason. We went to the steak restaurant next which was great value and the food and beers fantastic. This is a budget hotel which serves it’s purpose and as such I would recommend this hotel as a stopover hotel only to recharge the batteries.
