HOTEL R9 The Yard Higashiomi

Great value, yet very clean!I was extremely satisfied!The complimentary coffee and green tea, and even the microwave curry, were delicious.I’ll definitely stay again.

This is my second time staying at R9 during a bike touring trip, following last year's stay in Iwakuni. The Room was clean and surprisingly comfortable for a container-style accommodation. There is enough space between Rooms, so noise was not an issue. Unlike Iwakuni, where the door lock used a passcode, Higashiomi uses card keys, which made it slightly inconvenient to check if I had the card key every time I left the Room. Having a convenience store nearby was very handy. As for meals, you get one free frozen food item; while the pilaf I chose in Iwakuni wasn’t tasty, the curry in Higashiomi was decent. The ease of stepping outside quickly is another appealing feature. Although my destination for next year’s tour is undecided, I would like to stay here again!
