Hotel Route Inn Minami Yokkaichi

Convenient transportation, suitable for those driving; free parking. Annual breakfast fee applies. Free public bath; there's a large public bathhouse nearby, though not very big. It can get crowded sometimes. Standardized rooms, suitable for one person. This place has a stamp.

It's great to be able to relax and unwind in the large public bath. There's a table in the room, making it easy to organize your luggage, and the breakfast buffet is also satisfying.

The only room available was a smoking room, so I stayed there, but not only that room but the entire floor had a strong cigarette smell.

If there was a convenience store a little closer, it would be perfect.

After dark, this was the only hotel lit up from the station – hilarious! It's quite remote. While it seems close to the racetrack, the infrequent tram service makes it particularly inconvenient. I wouldn't recommend staying here to watch the Suzuka races if you don't have your own car. It's okay if you're just casually strolling around Minami Yokkaichi. Aeon Mall is within walking distance, and there are two large secondhand shops – surprisingly fun to browse. However, it's a bit far from the factories and port, so there's no chance to see the night view. The rooms are very comfortable. If you're passing through, you can check out the secondhand shops.

The parking lot was spacious, the rooms were spacious, and it seemed clean, but I was surprised at how smelly the air purifier and air conditioner were. They said it would be busy for breakfast, but there were so many guests, like a soccer team, that it didn't seem to clear up even after an hour, so I couldn't use it. I felt like I wouldn't be able to eat breakfast unless they had a separate section for group guests. It was very disappointing.

The facilities were clean, there was a large public bath, and breakfast was included, so I was very satisfied.

My wife and I stayed in two single rooms. The rooms were not large, but the desk and mini sofa were well-placed, and I almost fell asleep while watching TV. The amenities were plentiful, and although we didn't use the large public bath, there was one. What's more, it was great that we could watch WOWOW.

The hotel smells very bad of cigarettes. The smell wafts out from the corridors all the way. The staff can't speak English and don't have a translation device to talk to us. However, the location is good and there is a lot of parking.
