In Kyoto now but I stayed overnight at the PH a few days ago. Arrived around 7:30 PM on the Limo bus and the welcome was a bit rough. They had 2 guys downstairs to meet a family of 4 plus myself and 2 other solo guests. 1 guy disappeared with the family while the other guy tried to make sense that the 3 of us arriving weren't traveling together. He took the elevator with us but no one met us upstairs or showed us to reception. Don't really have much hopes for the welcome when I return to Tokyo today.

Stayed in a Park Deluxe room and the room itself is much nicer than in any photos online. I did think the bathroom felt a bit tight and I wished there was more tech in the room, even a centralized panel for controlling lights, temperature, etc. would have been nice. Woke up, opened the curtains and saw Mount Fuji huge and as clear as day. Stunning. The view was amazing even without Fuji. Had breakfast in my room because it came with the rate and it was delicious. I wouldn't have it everyday but I'll probably get it again before I leave.

Had jet lag and woke up early, so I walked around the area for a couple of hours to get oriented. Location wasn't as annoying as I heard--10 minutes straight to Shinjuku Station.

More to come!
