I would think twice about that... unless you have a car. I stayed in early March and took the shuttle, but was up and out the next morning. I would not want to spend multiple days here without a car. The only reason to stay at this hotel (without car) is if you get a massively cheap rate or just like collecting new Marriott hotels. The lounge is OK, but in all seriousness I'd be happier with food quality spending 500 yen at a 7-11/Family Mart, etc. The hotel has been renovated and is not bad, but it is not especially convenient for much of anything.
