Stayed WAY back here in the middle of the summer 2011-2012, it was something like a cat ii or iii and SUPER cheap on cash+points. Connected to the JR station, got beautiful suite as a plat, club lounge had amazing dinner and breakfast. Location was amazing for mostly everything that we did (long distanced day trips). I'd love to come back but now I'm seeing spg nights for 16k

spg devluation or was i lucky to have this hotel 3 nights for less than 10k spg and $120?
I know, useless, but this was one of my most favorite SPG stays ever. I even remember the only machine I have only seen dispense green apple chu hi that was just 3 blocks away...haven't seen nor tasted it since
