As a solo business traveler, I have used this hotel 5-10 times per year for the last several years and have never had a negative experience. I definitely prefer it to the newer but lesser Route Inn II a few hundred meters up the road. The rooms are a bit bigger and although it is older, it is already in better condition in my opinion.
Nice breakfast, public bath and a decent lobby with coffee to relax for those times when you want to sit comfortably, quietly, but still have some commotion around you.
Staff have always been friendly and helpful. Location is quite good just a few minutes on the Izu Jukan from either the Tomei or the Dai ni Tomei, but also having the new Izu Jukan extending all the way through Kannami/Izunokuni really cuts travel time into the Izu Peninsula.
Will continue to use
