I’ve checked out their lead-in rooms in person and find them a bit meh, mainly due to the conventional room layout and the sterilely white tiles in the bathroom. While I didn’t personally check out the Grand Deluxe rooms, they look a lot better from the professional photos on TA.
I've done 3 stays here now as SPG Plat, and have received a Grand Deluxe Premier room once, the Kioi Suite once, and a normal Deluxe room once.

I've never used an SNA here (though it is a fantastic place to use them)
