Route Inn

A chain rule, and the most generous seal of any hotel chain

Route Inn sets this once for the whole group — Route Inn, Grand, Ark and Grand Vrio alike — and states it plainly: tattooed guests may not bathe unless the tattoo is completely covered with a cover seal. The seal it sells at every front desk is 11.4×20 cm (4.5×7.9 in), the largest allowance of any hotel chain on this site, and no maximum number is published. The chain adds the limit itself: a tattoo too extensive to cover is refused, so a forearm piece passes and a sleeve does not.

Because it is a chain rule, every Route Inn with a daiyokujo works the same way, which makes the chain the reliable budget option in a city where policy otherwise changes at every door. The seal is bought at the desk, so buy it at check-in.
