Excellent location (just right across the station) and with complimentary breakfast. The facilities are a bit old but still ok. They don’t have a socket by the bed though.

Amenities are a bit minimal for women but very clean and quiet. It is located right cross the street from the station. The bed is a little hard for me. I loved the big community bath upstairs, used for several times. I would recommend you to go either early or later. I would stay again!

Terrible Experience @ Hotel Route Inn, 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.
