Kuretake Inn Kikukawa Inter

Stayed in March 2026 The hotel is located right off the highway. Parking is a bit difficult. 💦 The location is great, with a Lawson next door and a MOS and Numazu Uogashi Sushi across the street. They also have a dinner curry 🍛 and happy hour 🍺 (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM) ♫ The bath ♨️ alternates between men's and women's depending on the time of day. Both shower areas have three bathrooms and are a bit small. Women can use the open-air bath in the morning. Although it was small, it was very pleasant. 😆 The room was quiet, with no traffic or noise from neighbors, and only noise from the hallway. The furnishings also had a slightly luxurious feel. Breakfast starts at 6:30 AM, but because there were a lot of construction workers there, I decided to come around 7:10 AM, and it was completely empty. 😌 They don't have local side dishes, but the variety was so extensive that it was hard to decide what to eat. The coffee was delicious! ☕️ On the downside, the loungewear is a robe, so you can't wear it to the bath, and there's only one elevator. 😱 I can't help it with the elevator, but I wish they'd change the loungewear. I thought this hotel was great value for money.

I had some unexpected business in the area, so I stayed here. Rakuten was having a super sale, so I initially booked through Rakuten, but then I found it was about 1,000 yen cheaper to book directly through the hotel's website, so I canceled the Rakuten reservation and booked directly through the hotel. Some reviews mentioned that the hotel's single elevator was inconvenient, but I didn't find it to be a problem when I used it. They offer a free drink or soft drink from 6 PM, and they also serve curry, so I recommend it for those looking to save on dinner. (It says "while supplies last.") The front desk also has rental irons, hair dryers, and three types of shampoo and conditioner. While the building is old, it's unavoidable, but the hotel was very clean. The humidifier was also clean, unlike many hotels where it accumulates limescale. However, there was a faint masculine smell. The bathroom was large enough for three people, but the hot water was very pleasant. However, the top quilt was very thin, so I felt cold, as I'm prone to cold feet. I was a little bothered by the stiff towels, but that was to be expected. I wasn't expecting much from breakfast, but I think it was better than Toyoko Inn. They didn't have the typical commercial half-moon omelet, and they had homemade items like spinach namul, which I was satisfied with. I think it's a great company effort to be able to stay here for less than 8,000 yen on a weekend. The things I'd like to see improved are: I'd like a floor wiper in the bathroom. Hair always falls when drying, so I'd like one for that. I'd also like the bath mats to be doubled up and arranged in two rows. All the staff were very polite and helpful.

I stayed for 20 days. [Location] It's just seconds from the exit and about a 7-minute drive from the station. There's a Lawson next door, a MOS across the street, and a Chinese restaurant called Ginka, just a minute's walk away, which I highly recommend. The location is perfect. [Service] The front desk staff always greeted me with a smile. During my stay, breakfast was served from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM, and the public bath was open from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. They also offered curry in the evening and a happy hour welcome drink from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (while curry runs out). All of these hospitality services were a real relief for my tired body. [Room] Noise from neighbors wasn't a problem; you could just hear the hallway. Both the east-facing and west-facing rooms offer beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset. Each room has its own air conditioning unit. While I believe the smoking floor is separated, the hallway sometimes smells like cigarettes. The shower pressure was strong in both the room and the public bath. Thank you very much for your hospitality. It was a great place to stay.
