Sakata hotel guide. Independent hotel in Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture

"Outdoor onsen and facilities were impeccable!!"

"All good except the breakfast is really over rated "

"Great experience overall. "

"Yes"

"The room is good, but there are steps up and down. It's a half-hour taxi ride from the city center, so unless you drive, it's not convenient. The beach in front is filled with garbage. Breakfast and service were good. "

"All the Route Inn hotels we have used have been spotlesslu clean. This one too. It is a bit out of town but their simple dinner menu was enjoyable. "

"Old hotel but clean with great service. The breakfast buffet was really nice with so much food! "

"Nice Hotel, Good Food, Nice Staff. Clean Onsen facilities. Well maintained, but quite dated inside. Only big problem was my room smelled really bad of damp. Abit pricey for what it is, but the staff were nice and the food was good. "

"Beautiful location, outstanding tatami room with good en suite bathroom facilities, and extremely friendly staff. Wifi connection in room was very weak (had to go to hall to connect). Not many English-speaking staff but made do with Google-translate. Would have appreciated food/snack options in bar but bought snacks at well-stocked gift store and small snack outlet on street where they have nice hot spring foot baths next to the river. The garden is beautiful and the private onsen was excellent. Probably easiest to visit by car (plentiful space in their off site parking lot); the train option would be cumbersome. Beautiful rose garden associated with the shrine up the hill; in full bloom at the end of June. Small restaurants nearby."
