Booked Reward Night for 2 nights.
This hotel required only 10000pts/night and possible to choose any rooms except Suite and KUMAMON design room. I tried to book King Bed Nonsmoking Room for 2night, but unfortunately at that time availability of King Bed Nonsmoking Room was 2nd night only. Therefore, 1st night was 2 Single Bed Nonsmoking Superior Room, 2nd night was King Bed Nonsmoking Superior Room.
