Hotel Route Inn Grand Ueda Ekimae

This Route Inn was easy walking distance from the train station. It was also easy walking distance to Ueda Castle, which was our reason for visiting this city. The hotel itself is very nice and clean. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed the public baths. We were impressed with their idea for "crowd control" at breakfast in the morning. We had to choose a time frame (we chose 6:30-7:00, I think) that we would enter the breakfast area. We have not been to other hotels that do this, but it seemed to work out very well. The breakfast buffet was good and we had several seating areas to choose from to enjoy our morning meal.
