Route Inn Grand Ota Ekimae Hotel — Hotel in Ota

I had a very comfortable stay at Route Inn Hotel Ota Ekimae. The location is excellent—just a short walk from Ota Station, which makes travel super convenient. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, with all the basic amenities. The breakfast was fresh and had a good variety of both Japanese and Western items.

While female guests pay the same price as male guests, only male guests are granted access to the open-air bath facilities. Female guests are entirely excluded from this experience.

Such unequal treatment is deeply disappointing and difficult to justify in this day and age. I sincerely hope the management will reconsider this outdated and unfair policy, and commit to offering equal hospitality to all guests,...
