Hotel Route-Inn Toyama Ekimae

Viking (buffet) breakfast was very tasty, above average for a business hotel. The curry had fresh vegetables added to it. The miso soup had chopped round onions and fresh buna shimeji mushrooms in it. The kombu you can add was fresh, not dried. Large egg, boiled to perfection. Five different types of salad dressing. Bacon was typical limp Japanese style but was tasty. Good frothy orange juice which tasted like it was freshly squeezed. Again, an example of how the standard of living in Japan is well above any other country in the world. In Hawaii, cheapest hotel room is $200/night, plus $50 hotel tax and $40 for parking. No toothbrush/toothpaste, soap/shampoo, pajamas, razor or all-you-can-eat breakfast. I paid around $45 for this Route Inn room!

Location is good. Food and restaurants are easy to find nearby. The city is not big so accessible to main tourism sites.

Everything was mostly in order and the staff were very kind and helpful. The cleaning staff were also very professional and punctual.

Great location not far from the train station. Room was very small, but that’s Japan!! Breakfast was quite good.
