Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked Standard Room. Got a Bay View Deluxe King Rm 2311 (1 Up)
How are the rooms?
Nice harbor and city views through large windows. Room was spacious enough. Bathroom on larger size but was a bit outdated. Could have been cleaner.
How is the exec. lounge?
I was not on a rate that allowed access;
What was good and what was bad?
Good:
•Nice spacious room facing the water
•Staff was very helpful.
•Great for walking along the water.
•Close to shops/restaurants in Queen Tower, Landmark Tower, and World Porter, and Cup of Soup Museum
•Bus to Haneda and Narita straight from Hotel
Bad:
• Bathroom was a little dingy and worn. Some dirty/moldy grout and hairs on the far wall
•Breakfast although good gets very crowded
• A little far from the more useful JR train station. Also from the main part of the city and all it's restaurants and bars
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
I got a four night stay with breakfast for about $171 (Y18625) a night. With the 4th night free from Citi Prestige and getting a bunch of points from IHG Accelerate it was well worth the splurge after two months of renting an apartment in Japan.
