HOTEL ROUTE-INN Kesennuma ChuoInter

HOTEL ROUTE-INN Kesennuma ChuoInter

10/10 Excellent
"Brand new property, free onsite parking, superb helpful and welcoming staff, very good amenities, very fast internet, average sized room to Japanese standard, sumptuous breakfast, enough varieties for Vegans and Vegetarians. Value for money hotel. Only problem is that the food does not have ingredient content display in English, thus with staff knowing only Japanese, very difficult to just choose any food."
