5-7 Benefit Very Nice

Checked-in a couple of days ago, and the wife has enjoyed this free wine/beer benefit very much since the wine is good quality. We also had one of the salmon/dill/spinach pizzas, recommended by LIH Prem, and can testify to it's deliciousness! Will try the duck fat fries before we leave.

Were upgraded to a deluxe corner (i.e two walls with windows) room on check-in with excellent views. Typical upgrade is to a deluxe room here.

By the way, if anyone ever needs currency conversion, Daikoku-ya (http://www.e-daikoku.com) is better than the best bank or airport exchange by 1 % or more. On cash, not TCs, the deal is usually better, more like 2%. This place has saved me tons of money over the years and has locations everywhere, usually near the subway/JR stations. Debit card transactions in Japan usually give a bad exchange rate, around 2% more than typical bank cash transactions, so I don't recommend them. Also, the Hyatt Visa card doesn't charge a foreign transaction fee, so I highly recommend using that card for your CC transactions in Japan. Every other card I have charges this fee, so watch out for it.
