Independent in Hikari from AU$42

"Spotless place! Wonderful staff! I have only praise for this place! "

"Great food for the breakfast "

"Fresh coffee in lobby until midnight. Across street from convenience store."

"Front desk staff were GREAT!! The breakfast was definitely worth it. Walking distance to delicious restaurants and close to 7-11 for snacks. If I ever travel back to Iwakuni, I am definitely staying here again!!"

"Staff is friendly, and the rooms are clean, comfortable and affordable. Extremely convenient and highly recommend."

"Route Inn hotels always have the most helpful staff. Really liked them. The room was nice. Breakfast was exceptionally good. "

"Right in front of train station "

"Clean, close to the JR train station, nice free breakfast, and helpful staff."

"This was by far the nicest room/resort we have stayed in. After being cramped in many Japanese hotels and ryokans, this was much much larger with three queen/full size beds, a 65" TV and an outdoor bath (mineral salts available in the lobby). However, please understand that as this location is very remote, dining options in the area and transportation may be limited. This may be why we didn't see any foreigners there? However, they do provide pick-up service to and from the Shin-Iwakuni station depending on the room you're staying in given you contact them at least three days in advance. Although our Shinkansen was unexpectedly delayed by two hours due to rain/lightning, they patiently waited for our arrival and did not leave us stranded. Perhaps the only downside was that we only stayed two nights as I felt we could've done with some more downtime and taking advantage of the amenities including the bikes and SUPs. I hope to return again soon, staying for a longer time next time. Thank you Marissa Resort for giving us an incredible and memorable vacation!"
