​Hotel Route-Inn Ube​

Everything is good except the location got no subway nor public transportation... Best for car driver

I lived in Onoda for three years in the mid-90s and was back for a visit. Unfortunately our friends who we usually stay with were unwell so we stayed 4 nights at the Hotel Route Inn Ube. There are no decent hotels in Onoda, but the Route Inn was very close. I was a bit nervous about the hotel as Japanese business hotels are reknown for their superhard beds and pillows. My concerns were unfounded as the beds and pillows were great! There are no connecting rooms but they gave us rooms opposite each other. The staff were very friendly - front desk, housekeeping and restaurant. You get fresh towels everyday but not new sheets (it's an eco hotel). You make your own bed. Breakfast buffet was included and the staff were helpful in working out what we could eat (allergies in the kids). There was a good range of food although no fruit. There was a free onsen that my wife visited. We were in town to catch up with friends so spent very little time in the hotel. Our friends lent us their car so it was easy to get around. As others have pointed out there is no convenience store superclose. There is a Lawson about 5 minutes' walk away. There are plenty of nice and cheap restaurants nearby, as well as a supermarket and department store (Youme Town). I would definitely stay here again!
