Hotel Route-Inn Nago

this "roadside" business hotel is a fun place to stop for a few nights. The facilities are a bit dated, which is a nice way of experiencing a little japanese vintage design - that being said, everything is squeaky clean, service is very kind and attentive. The room had an openable window. Free "tower" parking was provided. There are vending machines for drinks. There is a coin laundry (albeit not very new). The open until late onsen / heated pool on the rooftop is a nice place to unwind after a long day. The location of the hotel is outside nago town itself (abt 20 mins walk), but 5mins away from the Express bus stop. The area is a drive/through area with not much to experience. There are some combinis, food chains, and car rentals around. The "beach" is not the best okinawa has to offer (was closed for maintenance in January). The hotel is ideal as a base to explore the north of the island by car.

I showed up dripping wet from a bike ride from Naha, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The room and bed were comfortable, the sendo (public bath) was relaxing, and the breakfast buffet was great! I liked my stay so much, I just booked them again after a loop up north. There's also a grocery and drug store nearby, plus the local attractions.

Nice hotel - nothing special, but very comfortable, and the staff were great. The big plus was the onsen on the roof.

Included breakfast and location.

The staff was nice and relaxing
