Hotel Route-Inn Kumagaya

I had to make a sudden reservation near the area due to a visit to relatives. Although I was initially concerned about cleanliness, the room had no unpleasant odors, and I was able to stay comfortably. I stayed twice and did not use the large public bath on either occasion, but I would like to try it next time. During my second stay, I also tried dinner. Both breakfast and dinner were served by friendly staff, and the signature Route Inn curry was delicious. The accommodation has plenty of rooms and parking spaces, making it very convenient. The only thing I wished for was if there were ice cream or sweet snacks in the vending machine. As someone unfamiliar with business hotels or chain hotels and feeling apprehensive at first, I ended up having a more comfortable experience than expected and am satisfied with my stay.

I chose this Hotel because I was looking for a place that is convenient for traveling by car while exploring Chichibu. On the first day, I drove to Chichibu, and it didn’t feel too far. On the second day, I took the SL train from Kumagaya Station and was very satisfied! Considering the free parking, breakfast included, and large public bath, it’s surprisingly affordable compared to Business Hotels near the station. The breakfast was truly delicious. I also appreciated the coffee service. The free morning newspaper added to the excellent service! Although the bathwater quality and toiletries like body soap, shampoo, and conditioner didn’t suit my skin perfectly... still, being able to stretch out in a large bath and relax on a spacious bed really helped me unwind from my travels.It would be great if there were amenities like DHC facial cleansers or basic skincare products (single-use packs). Hair ties or shower caps would also be nice additions. How about a system where guests can take what they need from in front of reception?
