Hotel berhampiran JR Tsurugasaka Station, Aomori

Location: perfect, it's connected to the JR station. Just get down the escalator, turn left and the lift brings you direct. Service : excellent! When we checked in, the guy couldn't speak much English but tried his best and we figured out everything perfectly fine. There's this lady, Anisha(?) who helped us greatly with our luggage transfer to Tokyo. Room : 5* quality rooms but it very much could be because it's new. I hope they do maintain the rooms well. Amenities were great too. Onsen: I'm not too sure if I'm being biased here but felt that the water here feels great on the skin. It felt like 5* indulgence as they even has a counter in which you deposit your stuff. And you don't even have to bring your own bath towel there! Overall wonderful find! I would want to go back there and stay and maybe try their beauty treatments but it's a long way to fly there

I been using Hotel Route Inn as my first choice of hotel stays when I travel around Japan for the basic reasons of consistent hotel standards and know what to expect in terms of service, room size and location surroundings. The free breakfast is also a draw and sometimes the food repeat over the course of the week but helps in the morning kickoff. Overall the price value point is also a major draw and certain hotels have free car park and certain hotels charges 500y for hotel guest overnight parking due to its location. I normally have a rental car and this makes the selection of hotel much easier as some of the hotel locations are slightly out of the way depending on the region. We stay only 1 night since we flew in from Osaka and was planning to do a more detailed car drive travel of the Aomori region. Will be visiting and staying at other Hotel Route Inn locations during our 3 weeks visit. We normally book the comfort or double twin non smoking room for the extra space, as some of you must be well aware that Japanese hotel rooms are tiny averaging about 15-17 sqm in size. The toilets are standard built in cabin and all rooms are clean and decently well maintained. Minimal English is spoken by hotel staff. There is coin operated laundry service. The booking website is also easy to use and their booking cancellation policy are good. No credit card is needed for reservations.

The hotel locates on a major road with restaurants and shops. It is close to the JR Aomori Station with 5 minutes walk. However as the hotel’s reception counter was located on 3 floor, it was easy to miss the entrance of the hotel by the road side. There were also convineance stores such as FamilyMart and Lawson nearby. The hotel is a basic one and the room is small. But the bathroom was quite big. It is recommended base on the location and cleaniless, especially when concerning the price.

The hotel is around 6 minutes of walking distance to Aomori station. However, there is an airport coach station across the street of the property, making it easier for travellers to go there and drop ofd heavy luggage. Hotel is clean, staff are courteous and helpful. Though slightly a bit expensive during the Sakura full bloom week, will certainly come back to stay at this hotel. P.s. attach the bus schedule running between hotel and airport (Station near the hotel: Shinmachi-Itchome)

青森駅からぎりぎり徒歩圏内。 無料サービスが多いなど、ドーミーイン共通のサービスはここでも受けられる。 築浅で全体的にきれい。テレビが大きい。コンパクトであるが扉が二重で廊下の音が気にならない。 13階の大浴場は、周囲に高い建物がないため街がよく見渡せる。マイクロバブルのシャワーヘッドと温泉で肌はつるつる。 13階建てでエレベーターが2台のため、移動が待たされる。階段が苦にならないなら問題なし。 立体駐車場の入口がややわかりにくい。

酒店位置：靠近JR 火車站，步行時間約十分鐘，附近有多家餐廳，兩三個商場可以逛街購物。 酒店早餐：非常好吃，選擇不算很多，但每一款都用心做好。青森出產的蘋果汁、麵包等都很好吃。 酒店設施：比較陳舊，但維護很好，仍然舒適。 酒店服務：很好，我要求安靜的房間，他們都可以滿足。

部屋が広く、エキストラベッドを入れてくださったので家族3人でゆったり過ごせました。 明かりが一般家庭のように明るくて卓上灯も学習灯のように明るいです。 バスルームもゆったりしており、全体的に清潔でアメニティも不足ありませんでした。 場所は空港からバスで柳町下車徒歩すぐです。 ホテルの建物内に和洋中+トニーローマの各レストラン(ホテルでお得な食事券が購入できます)も充実、ベーカリーやローソンもあるので本当に便利です。 お隣に柿崎という人気のお蕎麦屋さんがあるのですが、あいにく貸切でした。 周辺にも飲食店がポツポツあるようなので駅前まで行かなくても食事には困らないと思います。

先日利用しました。 お部屋もきれいで子供たちも喜んでいましたし、エントランスのねぶたがとてもキレイで素敵でした。 主人と家族で写真を撮りたいと話をしていましたが、スタッフの方に話しかけられずに自分たちで交互に撮影しようと思っていたのですが カウンター内にいた女性スタッフさんが気がついいてくれて「よければ撮りますよ」と笑顔で話しかけてくれたのが本当にうれしかったです。 対応が冷たいスタッフさんもいましたがみんながみんなひどいスタッフさんでないねと主人と話をしました。 声をかけない人が多いのに素敵なスタッフさんがいて、またアートホテルに宿泊したいと思える出来事でした。

Located off the mountain road into a forest, it is a hotel with western style building. We arrived a bit late at before 5 o’clock. Check in was smooth. The hotel prepared an English version information sheet for the English speaking guests. We have a deluxe room facing the forest, and it is kind of a suite, with bedroom and living room area separated. There is a small balcony where when weather is good one can enjoy the good scenery. There are two air conditioners in both sides of the room which provide both heat and cool. Other room amenities are provided such as bottle water and coffee. There is no elevator in the hotel so you may have to carry the big bag up or down the steps. Onsen is located on the lowest floor. The outdoor onsen is very good, overlooking the forest. But it seems that the onsen is visible form the parking lot. There is a rest area with massage loungers outside the onsen. The dinner and breakfast are served in two separate restaurants. The dinner we enjoyed gave us a pleasant surprise, the food quality and taste are both very good. Breakfast was buffet style with good quality of food.

息子夫婦と2組で宿泊。ログハウス風のホテルは、エントランスからロビー、レストランに至るまで、広くはないですが重厚感があり、フォトポイントがいっぱい。当日(土曜日)満室のはずでしたが人の多さを感じす、極めて静粛でした。部屋(スタンダードツイン)は広く、調度・備品に不足なし。(早朝)窓越しの朝靄の景色はアート。夕食は、素材の味を活かすためにソース控え目の爽やかなフレンチで、青森の食材を十分堪能しました。飲物のサーブが若干遅いですが、顔を上げれば直ぐにスタッフと目が合うので不自由なし。また、朝食の食パンと(固めの)クロワッサンは最高。温泉は酸ヶ湯温泉(宿泊者は無料なので是非いくべき。)とは違う泉質ですが、十分刺激的(顔がひりひりしました)。ヒバ造りの浴室は広くはないのですが、ここでも人の多さを感じず、リラックスできました。スタッフの方々の対応は控えめですがプロフェッショナルで、外出から戻った際フロントに着く前に部屋の鍵(2部屋分)が差し出され、久々に”暗黙の意思疎通が出来ている”感覚になりました。全体として、お仕着せのホスピタリティがない分却ってリラックスできる、心地よいリゾートホテルです。
