Exception value for Cat 2 at Osaka for Sheraton. You cannot find cheaper hotel alternative. One stop to the long eating and shopping street (Nihombashi station). Direct airport shuttle downstairs. I do that any day. St Regis is nice, but I would rather spend the money on shopping and eating as Sheraton is not bad either.^ Considering value and convenience.

Enjoy the IC Osaka, only stayed once for 3 nights last year but only paid for 1 night.
In regards to Sheraton Osaka, that's my least favorite option out the SPG lot. One thing that Sheraton Osaka has, that the other SPG hotels doesn't, is the direct bus from the Kansai Airport to the hotel. Also really great (and cheap) Zaru noodle shop nearby. Didn't care for the regular room I got at the Sheraton for my only stay and location is least desirable out of the lot.
