IC Tokyo Bay

IC Tokyo Bay
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you
generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked 2 SGL BEDS SUPERIOR WITH RIVER VIEW at a Government Rate of 19,000 Yen/night. Received EXECUTIVE PREMIUM BAYVIEW KING on the 18th Floor.

How are the rooms?
The room was good, plenty of space with a couch/coffee table and a decect sized bathroom. Great views of Odaiba, the river and the bay. Plenty of outlets


How is the exec. lounge?
It was fine although the food selections were pretty basic for both breakfast and at night.
Breakfast included pastries, bread, cereal, cheeses, fruit, salads, several hot items plus a chef for made to order eggs from 7- 930am.
In the evening, there was a basic selection of wine, draft beer, liquor plus several hot items, sushi rolls, cheese/crackers, and some crudite.


Did you receive a welcome gift?

It took 2 days to receive the welcome gift and other amenities. I had to ask about it in the lounge on the second night. No bottles of wine anymore, instead it was a IC Tokyo Bay washcloth and some chocolate. We also received a small bowl of cut fruit everyday (after the second day, anyway). Water was replenished daily.

How was the minibar?
Pretty good -- wine (2 small whites, 2 small reds), champagne (2 small bottles), liquor, beer (both Japanese beer and imports), a Chu-hi, bottle of green tea, can of coffee plus soda/sparking water.

What was good and what was badd?

-Good
- The upgrade to premium executive
- The staff was so friendly and accommodating
- Shuttle service to Hamamatsucho and Shinagawa stations (although it was a less than 10 minute walk to Hamamatsucho station and Daimon subway station).
- Great views
​​
-Bad
- The second night we came back to the room around 7pm and housekeeping was still in the room cleaning.
- Having to remind them to send up the Welcome Gift and amenities
- There isn't a whole lot to do in the immediate vicinity of the hotel (which I knew from a previous stay here) but there are plenty of bars, restaurants, nightlife near Hamamatsucho station.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
Great value at the government rate.

Would you return?
Yes, defnitely
