Hotel Castle inn Suzukachuo

The hotel looks like it needs some renovations but the experience from the staff is beyond what I expected. The front staff helped me figure out how do my laundry and taxis to be able to go to f1. It had a family mart and couple restaurants within walking distance. I also loved the deep bath tub to soak my sore muscles after walking 10 miles!

A tad far from the Ise railway train station Tamagaki: also infrequent trains. Kintetsu railway has more trains but it is an even longer walk. Also, Uber, DiDi Taxi, and Go Taxi all did not work for me so I needed to ask the receptionist to call taxi for me.

Rooms were clean and tidy but a little on the small side. Service by staff was fantastic. We had some issues with getting taxis in the area due to lack of availability but the hotel manager - Takahiro Arima was generous enough to offer us a ride to the local restaurants and then pick us up afterwards (there are no restraunts/bars near the hotel). We want to extend our gratitude to Takahiro Arima who was always on hand to help. You need to be aware that taxis are really difficult to get even early in the morning. Hotel is close to Suzuka circuit (around 1 hr walk).

This hotel does not serve dinner, but there is one restaurant nearby.
