Unbelievable Hotel Deals in Matsue, Japan: Route Inn Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, sometimes baffling, world of a hotel review! We're talking Route Inn Matsue, baby, and let me tell you, the title "Unbelievable Hotel Deals" sets a high bar. Does it deliver? Well, that’s what we're here to uncover, isn't it?
This isn't your typical dry, objective review, oh no. I'm gonna get REAL, folks.
First Impressions & Accessibility: Can I Actually Get There?
Okay, the nitty-gritty. Accessibility. Important, right? Especially when lugging around a suitcase the size of a small elephant (guilty). Route Inn, from what I can gather (and this thing is packed with info, yeesh!), seems to be pretty decent. They boast facilities for disabled guests and an elevator. That's step one, people! Car park [free of charge] is music to my ears - parking in Japan? Can be a bloodbath. They also have airport transfer, which, again, HUGE plus. After a long flight I'm a walking zombie, and someone else driving? Yes, please. The CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside the property give a sense of security, which, honestly, is a BIG deal when you're jet-lagged and slightly disoriented.
Now, let's just hope the actual access is as smooth as it (hopefully) sounds. I'm picturing those confusing Japanese train stations and a mountain of stairs… Fingers crossed!
The Tech Stuff: Wi-Fi Warriors Rejoice!
Gotta have the internet, right? Ugh, life without Wi-Fi, I tell ya. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! AND Internet access – wireless! Hallelujah! Plus they have Internet access – LAN. For the old-schoolers! This is HUGE. I can work, stream my guilty pleasure shows (you know, the ones you don't want anyone to see), and, most importantly, stay connected to the world. I can NOT be without a good connection. That's a deal breaker.
The Sleep Space: What's the Room Really Like?
Alright, let's talk about the inside of the room! They’re promising Air conditioning, which, again, vital for those humid Japanese summers. Blackout curtains? YESSSS! A traveler's best friend, especially when you're battling jet lag. We’re in the luxury camp, people! Bathtub, Private bathroom, Separate shower/bathtub, Bathtub – what a luxury. Hair dryer, Coffee/tea maker… essential for a good morning, I can tell you. They also have extra long bed, so big people, they got this.
I'm particularly interested in the soundproof rooms. Please. Please let them be soundproof. My light sleeping self demands it! The thought of a screaming child or loud hallway chatter ruins a vacation SO FAST.
Food Glorious Food!
Okay, food is where things get interesting, and where my inner foodie REALLY comes out. Route Inn is promising the whole shebang. Let’s dive deep, shall we? They’re talking Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, Buffet in restaurant, A la carte in restaurant, Restaurants, a Coffee shop, and even a Snack bar. That's already making my stomach rumble.
I'm especially intrigued by the Vegetarian restaurant. Japan, while delicious, can be a minefield for veggies. This shows they're thinking about everyone! The Coffee/tea in restaurant is important, since I am an addict. Bottle of water in the room, that's a nice touch, too. Gotta stay hydrated, even when I'm stuffing my face with breakfast buffet. And I'm always a sucker for Desserts in restaurant - gotta try the local sweets, am I right?
The "Relaxation" Factor: Is This a Paradise or a Practicality?
Okay, the fun stuff! How do we relax at Route Inn? They've got a Fitness center, a Spa, a Sauna, and a Swimming pool [outdoor]. A swimming pool with a view? I'm sold. I'll be honest, I'm not a huge spa person. I usually just feel awkward. But the pool… I could picture myself, after a long day exploring Matsue, relaxing by the pool with a drink. Pure bliss.
This hotel has some unique perks, but they aren't always enough to make me feel completely relaxed. Sometimes, the hotel, just seems functional.
(Okay, Deep Breath. We're Almost There!)
Cleanliness and Safety: Is This Place Going to Kill Me?
Let's be practical for a minute. In this day and age, cleanliness is PARAMOUNT. Thankfully, Route Inn seems to be on it. They're talking Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, and Rooms sanitized between stays. I'm looking for more. This is good, though! They say they have Daily housekeeping, and I hope it's as good as it sounds. A clean room is a HAPPY room. They also have Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, and Security [24-hour]. Makes me feel a little less like I'm walking straight into a disaster movie.
The "For the Kids" Stuff: Are We Tolerated?
This is a mixed bag, and depends on your family’s needs. If you want to get away from the chaos, avoid this hotel.
Services and Conveniences: Holding My Hand Through Japan?
They've got a Concierge, which is always handy, especially if you're lost, which I get. Daily housekeeping is a gift from the heavens, let's be honest. Laundry service is essential, 'cause I don’t have the time or the energy. Currency exchange is useful, too.
(My Personal Annoyance: The Fine Print)
Some of the categories are "unavailable" for pets.
Overall Vibe & My Gut Feeling:
Listen, this isn't a luxury resort. This is a practical, functional hotel. They're hitting all the right notes for a comfortable stay, and for the price point, they seem to be offering a good value.
The Quirky Touch:
My brain has decided to randomly create a story while reading this review. I picture myself, jet-lagged, stumbling into the hotel, the automatic doors whooshing open in dramatic fashion like I'm a secret agent. Then, I wake up by the pool with a view that blows my mind.
The Verdict: Should You Book?
(Drumroll…)

Spokane's BEST Downtown Hotel? Fairfield Inn & Suites Review!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't gonna be your sanitized, bullet-pointed tour of the Hotel Route Inn Matsue. This is my version, the one where I'm probably over-caffeinated, battling jet lag, and trying to remember if I actually packed underwear.
The Route Inn Rumble: A Matsue Mishap (and Mostly Magical) Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and the Battle of the Futon
- 14:00 (ish) - The Great Landfall: Okay, so arriving at the airport was smooth enough. Except for the fact that I forgot to change any money beforehand. Cue the frantic ATM search and the slight panic when I realized I only vaguely remember how to say "Thank you" in Japanese. Found the Hotel Route Inn shuttle (yay!), felt a tiny flicker of relief.
- 15:00 - Room Roulette (and the Futon Frenzy): Checked in. The room? Tiny. Adorable tiny. Functional tiny. The futon situation? A challenge. This is my first time sleeping on a futon in such a small space (and the tatami mats? Beautiful but slightly intimidating.) I spend a good 15 minutes wrestling with it, convinced I'm going to end up looking like a mummy by morning.
- 16:00 - Snack Attack and the Convenience Store Conquest: I emerge from my room, ravenous. Armed with my dwindling supply of yen, I hit the 7-Eleven jackpot. Seriously. The snacks! The onigiri! The… strange, suspiciously green melon-flavored something-or-other. I'm trying everything. Okay, maybe I bought too much. My suitcase now houses an army of Pocky sticks.
- 17:00 - The Matsue Castle Gaze: Okay, so I'm supposed to see Matsue Castle. The brochure promised majestic views. The problem? I'm perpetually lost. I walk in the general direction of the map, dodging cyclists who look like they’re training for the Tour de France. Finally, I find it! And WOW, this castle is more amazing than I figured! I spend an insane amount of time just staring. The reflections in the moat are stunning. I even buy a little wooden sword at the gift shop. (Don't judge me.)
- 19:00 - Dinner Disaster (and Delicious Redemption): Dinner at a local ramen place. The language barrier! I order something that looks good. It arrives. I think it's ramen… but it's… different. Let's say it’s a cultural experience, and leave it at that. Eventually, I spotted a restaurant with pictures. Success! I found delicious gyoza and a beer. Crisis averted.
- 21:00 - Futon Fight Part 2: Conquered the futon. Maybe. I suspect I'll be sore tomorrow. But, hey, I'm in Japan! This is what it's all about, right? The little wins.
Day 2: Lake Shinji and the Mystery of the "Stinky" Museum
- 07:00 - Breakfast Bravado: The Hotel Route Inn breakfast buffet. Good lord. It's… everything. Curry rice, miso soup, eggs… They have me at the bread and endless amounts of coffee. I'm determined to sample everything. (Note to self: pace yourself.)
- 08:00 - Coffee-Fueled Ramblings: Okay, maybe I got carried away with the coffee. Feeling a bit wired. This feels important to say: I have been waiting for ages for the hotel wifi. I'm talking a full 40 minutes! I'm a writer, and the idea of not being able to access the internet makes me feel like I'm in some sort of personal hell.
- 09:00 - Lake Shinji Serenity (and the Bird Who Judged Me): Walk along Lake Shinji. Beautiful. Peaceful. A few local birds are perched on a nearby fence. One of them gives me the side eye as I stroll past. I swear, I felt judged. What did I do, bird? Why the judgment? Okay, I admit it. I was probably wearing the completely wrong attire. But hey, what does one bird know about fashion?!
- 11:00 - The Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Hall: Supposedly, this is a very important museum. I love books, I enjoy history, but… I was a little unprepared for the "stink" of the musty, paper-filled atmosphere. Honestly, I’m not sure if it was the historical documents or the fact that my coffee had already worn off. Still, it's charming and educational. I learned cool stuff. I just have to say it was a difficult one for me.
- 13:00 - Lunch and Lost Again: Wandering for lunch I get lost. Again. I go into the first restaurant. It's a tiny place, run by an old woman, and I can immediately see it's famous. I'm seated at a wooden table, and the smell of spices and fried food is making my stomach roar in anticipation. I order a bowl of soup. It's so good! Maybe the best soup I've ever had. I feel so content, the world is a glorious place to be in!
- 15:00 - Train Station and the Ticket Terror: Heading out on a train to the next station. The ticket machine is a monster. The buttons! The kanji! The sheer technological… ness of it all. I manage to stumble through, mostly thanks to the helpful (and patient) station clerk. I have the ticket! Victory! I feel like I've conquered Everest.
- 17:00 - Hotel Route Inn Retreat: Back at the hotel. The free bath is calling my name. Probably. Maybe. Hopefully. Need to recharge.
Day 3: Departure (and the Melancholy of Leaving)
- 07:00 - Breakfast, Again: The buffet, again. I'm starting to become familiar with the staff. I think they might know my order by now.
- 09:00 - Last Minute Souvenir Scramble: Rushing to find souvenirs. The airport gift shop is my one last chance. I grab everything from matcha tea to cute keychains. This must be done!
- 11:00 - The Farewell View: One last, long look at the castle. Just a moment of silent appreciation to it. I will miss this place.
- 12:00 - Shuttle to the Airport (and the Tears I Pretend Not to Cry): The shuttle ride. I'm trying to seem stoic, cool, collected. Suddenly, a wave of melancholy crashes over me. Leaving sucks! I wave goodbye to the Matsue skyline. I'm pretty sure I spot a single, solitary tear. Oh well. It's been an amazing trip.
Final Thoughts:
Hotel Route Inn Matsue? Solid choice. The room was tiny, but clean. The breakfast was epic. I'm pretty sure I gained five pounds from all the onigiri. The staff? Wonderful. Matsue? Magical. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Now, time to unpack all my Pocky. And learn to say more than just "Thank you" in Japanese. Wish me luck.

1. So, uh, how do you… *do* it? The procrastination, I mean. What's the secret sauce?
Secret sauce? Honey, there *is* no secret sauce! It's more like a slow-cooked stew of denial, avoidance, and the siren song of "just one more episode." Honestly, it usually starts with something *completely* innocuous. Like, "Oh, I should tidy my desk." (Spoiler alert: I never do.) Then, BAM! Suddenly I'm knee-deep in a YouTube rabbit hole, watching videos of baby sloths eating bananas. WHY? I have NO idea. But look, they're SO cute. And then, before I know it, the sun's setting, and I’ve written a whole treatise on the existential angst of a houseplant.
2. Right, the desk. Let's just say it's a disaster area? How bad is it *really*?
Okay, picture this: A desk. A *generic* desk. Now, imagine it’s become a bio-dome. There are coffee rings from weeks ago, piles of unanswered mail that *scream* "DEBT COLLECTORS!," a stapler graveyard, and a mysterious, growing fluffball that I *suspect* might be a sentient dust bunny. It's not glamorous. It's not organized. It's chaos. It's *my* beautiful, procrastination-fuelled chaos. Don't judge me! Okay, judge me a little. But please bring snacks.
3. Netflix. The ultimate procrastination enabler. What’s your all-time binge-watching record? Be honest.
Ugh, don't even get me STARTED. Okay, so, there was this one time… it was a particularly brutal week. Let's just say my life had the emotional heft of a wet paper bag. I told myself, "Just one episode, to unwind." Yeah. Right. That turning into three episodes, then five, then... I woke up two days later, disoriented, surrounded by empty popcorn bags and the lingering scent of pizza. My eyes burned. I hadn't seen sunlight in what felt like a century. I don't know the *exact* number of episodes, but I'm pretty sure I accidentally invented a new subgenre of binge-watching: the "Weekend-Long Existential Crisis." Let's just say I was *deep* in the weeds of a historical drama. My sleep schedule has never recovered.
4. What's the *absolute worst* show you’ve ever binged? The one you're ashamed to admit you watched, but secretly… you kind of loved?
Oh, this is a *tough* one. I've seen some stuff... some *real* stuff. But there's this one show, a sugary sweet, unbelievably cheesy reality show about... wait for it... finding love on a remote island. The acting was atrocious. The plots were predictable. The clothes were questionable. And yet... I was *hooked*. I mean, absolutely, totally, unreservedly HOOKED. I spent three days glued to the screen, yelling at the contestants, and analyzing every single facial expression. So, yes, it was awful. But also… I learned some valuable lessons about the human condition? Or maybe I didn't. I might have just wasted a weekend. No regrets. Okay, maybe a few.
5. Okay, but seriously, do you ever *actually* get anything done? Is there a "productive" alter ego?
*Heavy sigh.* This is where the messy, human part REALLY comes in. The truth? Yes, sometimes. The productive alter ego is a mythical creature. I occasionally stumble into productivity by accident. Coffee helps. A looming deadline that’s practically clawing at my eyeballs? That *really* helps. But it always feels like a frantic last-minute scramble. It’s like I get a surge of inspiration and suddenly the house is sparkling, the emails are answered, and the difficult task is handled, but it's always been a close call. And here's the kicker: after all that effort, I *completely* crash. I'm talking full-blown couch potato mode for days.
6. Any tips for, you know, *not* procrastinating and binge-watching your life away? Asking for a friend… (cough, me).
HA! Tips? Look, if I had those, I wouldn't *be* answering these questions! Okay, okay, fine. Here's what I've *heard* helps, but has never, ever, worked for me:
- **Make a list:** (I tend to write the list, then immediately move onto thinking about how to make the list... It's a vicious cycle.)
- **Set a timer:** (My brain instantly screams "Resistance! Resist the timer!")
- **Reward yourself (with something other than Netflix):** (LIES! Netflix *is* the reward.)
- **Tell someone else what you’re going to do:** (Then they’ll hold you accountable and make you actually do it... NOPE.)
7. What about the other stuff? Like, food and drink while binging? What's the gameplan?
Oh, the snacks! The *fuel*! Look, basic rules apply. High volume, low effort. Popcorn? Yes, please. Candy? Absolutely. Pizza? Essential. The key is to have everything within arm's reach. The fewer the interruptions, the better the binge. Also, a good hydration strategy is key. Water, Diet Coke, the occasional large iced coffee with like, 10 pumps of syrup... Again, no judgement. We all have our survival strategies.
8. Do you ever feel guilty about all this? Or are you just… comfortable in the procrastination zone?
Guilt? Oh, honey, it's a *constant* companion. It hovers, a little buzzing entity. A constant reminder. But, look, then I start thinking about how I *could* be doing something *worse*. I could be… picketing a potato farm. I could beStaynado
