Aging, dusty decor:
Dated fixtures:
Though for the $45 I paid when Hilton had a 48-hour Japan sale a few months ago, it was a steal, with a comfortable-enough bed, a hot breakfast and a ride to the airport.
After breakfast the next morning, we rode to Narita Terminal One for an occasion I was especially excited for -- my first ride on an A380…
I stayed there this past weekend on a layover heading back to the US.
One thing I didn't see you mention - and maybe it was just my room and floor - was the old, musty smell. I had a room on the 10th floor facing NRT. I walked into the room and about fell over with how old and stale the room smelled. I asked the bellman if all rooms were that way when he dropped off my bags. He brought me some air freshener which helped some, but had me really wishing I had some Fabreze on me. I was going to complain, but I realized when I stepped into the hall that it probably wouldn't do much good as the hall had a similar smell, although not as strong.
Anyone else experience this?
I'll also add that this place looked exactly the same as when I stayed there the first time in 2005. If it weren't for getting HHonors points and a relatively cheap price, I would pass on this hotel.
