ホテルルートイン平塚駅北口
Business hotel with its own public bath near Hiratsuka
About this hotel
ホテルルートイン平塚駅北口 pairs a straightforward business-hotel setup with an onsen public bath on site, a feature that sets it apart from the plainer options nearby. Guests can soak after a day out without needing to drive to one of the dedicated onsen valleys behind Odawara or Hadano, making it a practical middle ground between a full ryokan stay and a bath-free business hotel. Free parking and a nearby bus stop keep the location flexible for both drivers and train travellers, with a restaurant a short walk away for evenings the hotel's own facilities don't cover. The 8.4 guest rating reflects that middle-ground positioning working well for most visitors travelling through this stretch of Kanagawa.

Our take
This suits a traveller wanting a taste of onsen bathing without committing to a full hot-spring valley stay, at a business-hotel rate near Hiratsuka. It's a weaker fit for a family wanting resort-style pool access or beach proximity, since neither is part of the offer here — book Oiso Prince Hotel instead if the beach is the priority.
- ✓Use the public bath after a day trip rather than a hotel shower — it's included and rarely crowded outside peak evening hours.
- ✓Book the restaurant three minutes away ahead on weekends, when it fills with other hotel guests.
- ✓Check the nearby bus stop's schedule if planning a day trip to Oiso Long Beach without a car.

Why guests love itWe picked this hotel mainly for the price, and the onsen public bath was the pleasant surprise — a proper soak after a day walking around Hiratsuka and Oiso, without paying the premium a dedicated onsen ryokan further into the hills would have charged for the same basic comfort. Free parking meant the car sat untouched from check-in until we left.
