IC Osaka
What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum Ambassador
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes.
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked a base king non-smoking room on a BOGO weekend stay and got upgraded to a larger more spacious room with a view. Booked a friend in on points on the second night and they got the base which was perfectly nice, though the view was a restricted one of the tower next door whereas with the upgrade we got a panorama view of Osaka.
How are the rooms?
New, nicely thought out and with high-level finishings.
How is the exec. lounge?
Did not use.
What was good and what was bad?
Good
Upgraded room.
All the bennies even though it was a BOGO stay.
Excellent staff and because it's so new everything around you is nice to the touch and easy on the eye.
Bad
Lunch in the bar was a little rushed.
Nothing reflecting on the hotel but a search with the concierge for a sushi bar that was non-smoking was fruitless, just a general problem eating out in Japan. Ended up at the restaurants atop the department store where you are generally safe.
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Very much so. Looking forward to staying again maybe try the club.
