Hotel Route-Inn Nagaoka Ekimae

I arrived at the Hotel early, so I was guided to sit and wait in the lobby until my room was ready. That actually worked out well.Once I sat down in the lobby, it felt surprisingly spacious, and with artwork on display it really gave a “new Hotel” impression. They also offered complimentary drinks such as smoothies and lemon water, which were delicious—I had several cups. The coffee from the coffee machine available from 3:00 PM was also authentic and very good.Not only the lobby, but the guest rooms and the large public bath were truly spotless. Choosing this place was absolutely the right decision.The only disappointing point was that when I went to the breakfast venue, there were no staff stationed at the entrance, and the sign instructing guests to put their breakfast ticket into a basket was placed in an inconspicuous spot. As a result, I waited at the entrance for a while (another guest told me what to do). If guests are supposed to put their breakfast tickets into a basket, I’d like it to be made clearer.If I have another chance to visit Nagaoka, this Hotel will be my first choice.

The Room was clean, and it was a nice Hotel.I chose the no-cleaning option for a Multiple Night Stay, but I was told towels could only be picked up at the front desk. I would have appreciated having towels hung on the Room door or left outside the Room.
