InterContinental Tokyo Bay

(This relates to a stay at the InterContinental Tokyo Bay with a friend)

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
I booked two Club rooms with view from the bathroom. One of the rooms was upgraded to a corner room.

How are the rooms?
Large and modern, with immaculate furniture and extremely comfortable beds! Both rooms had windows in the bathroom, with superb views. The corner room had a balcony but the door to access it was sealed with a "break in case of emergency" lock.

There was a plate of fruit and a small box of chocolates in my room as a welcome gift.

How is the exec. lounge?
Relatively small and busy - there are a variety of warm and cold options at breakfast and apparently hot meals in the evening (my friend and I instead snacked on crisps and sandwiches in the evening - not exactly living the high life!)

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
The most effusive welcome I've ever had, which included us both being escorted to our respective rooms and shown how to use the aircon etc.
A free shuttle bus from the nearby Yamanote line station (although it's actually faster just to walk)
A nice little bakery in the lobby
The staff were very friendly, welcoming us back each time we returned to the hotel
Everything was spotless and there was a large array of toiletries in the bathroom
I checked in at 8 in the morning, so I'd booked the rooms for the night before. They waived the charge for both rooms for that night, which saved a significant amount of money

Bad:
I was charged for consuming 7 items from the minibar on Christmas Day - the snag being I hadn't touched anything! This was sorted on checkout.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
It's expensive, but no more so than booking in London. Both of us enjoyed the stay so much that we're going back for another week's worth in October!
