Just stayed at the hotel, some random notes...

- Hotel shuttle pick up at Meguro station is on the side of East Exit, adjacent to the taxi stand where people wait for taxi. There is a police station at the corner. I came from the Shinjuku side, exit from the "Main Exit", which need to cross street to the shuttle pickup. If come from Shinagawa side, the exit from platform will lead you to the East/West exit. There are three shuttles I saw in the parking lot, they are dark red, dark purple and light purple colors with big Sheraton sign so can't miss it.

- Sheraton Miyako Tokyo is currently under power saving mesures. What I can see is some reduced operation hours, some facility closure (Califonia Restaurant) and very weak AC, especially in room. This mesures will continue till Sept 22nd, 2011. Tokyo is very hot and humid right now but guess everyone need to chip in for power shortage.

- Breakfast is served in Shisen Restaurant, drink is served at Bamboo lounge. Complimentary for Plat.

- Bamboo lounge has smoking and non-smoking section. It is an open lounge, connected with the entrance hall, can smell the smoke at the most far away side of the lounge. It is a very nice lounge and seems good list of drink menu, would be perfect if it is smoke free.

- Had a upgrade to a corner room looking toward the residential side. The room seems little bigger than regular room by looking at the floor plan but pretty cramp with a king bed, a couch, a desk, and TV/Entertainment stand. Bathroom has good space with shower over tub. Still wired Internet in room.

- Hotel and room in general is in ok condition. Some places do show maintenance is overdue.

- The garden in the back of the hotel is really an oasis. Do wear long pants though to avoid bug bites. I noticed some sign says "Sheraton Miyako Tokyo Hotel and Resort", guess the resort part is probably from the garden.

- Every staff encountered are very nice and helpful, a very well run hotel in general. Location is a bit inconvenience but shuttle helps.

The Narita Express seems not run at the full capacity right now. The hotel concierge mentioned she was at Shinagawa station and hear the announcement there the next Narita Express was cancelled. So her advise was to take the Limobus.
