"The answer was absolutely wonderful. The beds were a little hard, but were okay. The room was spotless as was the bathroom. We love all the amenities that come with the Dormy Inn like the free ramen and the welcome drinks. The breakfast was a good combination of Japanese and continental. There was something for every palate and the dishes were all quite good. We love how convenient the location is in. The parking on premises really helped us navigate Hirosaki."

"While I booked a double-bed room, at check in, I requested a change to twin beds. I was shocked that the extra charge was ¥7,950. At another hotel in Aomori, I did the same and paid ONLY ¥2,000. This Route Inn charge of ¥7,950 was outrageous. As well the breakfast was terrible with very limited choice. I won’t recommend anyone to stay here. The bed was too hard too like I was lying on a concrete floor. "

"The hotel is huge but empty. The other hotels in the lake are all shut down. Our hotel was the only place to eat. At the small place open for dinner there was only ONE lady trying to do everything all by herself!!! We had to wait a long time to be served. She took orders, cooked & served the customers & didn’t have time to bus the tables. The breakfast was included with our room & it was okay. The waterfall was impressive. The onsen is huge but empty. I was the only one in there."

"A hotel and area that has seen better days. Cramped room and bathroom. Very narrow bed. Unit bath is old and fading, with old, non-directional shower head. "

"Great facilities, but disappointed about the extra charge to use the pool. Also there was drilling noise from a next-door room. Still, the reception desk staff was friendly, and the view is superb."

"Nice place"

"Very clean hotel. The building almost feels more like a small university dorm than a traditional business hotel. The staff doesn't speak much English, so make sure you have at least a rudimentary level of Japanese or a translation device if you're staying here, but they are very helpful and friendly. Of note, there are no elevators or escalators in this hotel, so you need to carry your luggage up the stairs if you're staying on the second floor. If you have mobility issues, I would recommend requesting a room on the first floor. The hotel is located in a fairly quiet area of Odate. Odate Station is within walking distance, but it's a bit of a hike (about 15-20 minutes, depending on how fast you go). The hotel is located near train tracks and the sound-proofing isn't great, so you will hear both trains outside and any neighbours you may have - the trains are infrequent and don't run past about midnight, but if you wind up with a neighbour who makes noise (even if it's just snoring), you will definitely be aware of it. Odate Station has regular trains running to Hirosaki and Aomori City in Aomori, as well as Akita City in Akita, so the hotel works great for getting to those areas. The hotel is located next to an onsen and an overnight stay comes with a free voucher. I didn't get a chance to use mine, but it was a nice bonus. Overall, I found the hotel to be a very relaxing stay and a good spot to use to explore nearby Akita and Aomori. Would happily recommend!"

"For the money, it's an amazing value. Breakfast was not so amazing but the room was quiet, clean and nice!"

"I stayed at this hotel 5 years ago and it was great. Coming back after 5 years a little different. Need to improve on the cleanliness. Pillow smells like it hasn't change at all. Curtains has a lot of stains and air conditioning not working well. This hotel need to refurbish or improve on the cleaning. If i return to Hirosaki, I will opp for another hotel."
