Check in was slow, did not get the room i requested with two beds and they tried to force an upgrade on me for $200 to a room which had two beds without even exploring the option of adding a roller bed onto my existing reservation. I had to ask for that myself and tell them to make an exception. Come on guys, this isn't a Hilton we're talking about. These guys are supposed to be the upper echelon of hotels.

Same goes for Chicago. Great address, but nothing out of the ordinary. a very plain Jane stay in a plain Jane room. I'd punch myself in the face before spending $395 for this room to be honest.

Conversely, the Pen in Tokyo was amazing as always. Staff are attentive on the ball. The rooms were well equipped and comfortable.


Contemplating doing a China + Bangkok trip to round out the free night offers!
