What was good and what was bad?
Pricing at the time was phenomenal. 20,000 points when the room rate was around 20,000 JPY without taxes and fees. Gotta love that COVID pricing in 2022. Location is a bit of a walk from Shinjuku Station and a little less from Tochomae Station, but it’s adjacent to the Park Hyatt. I guess one could try to use the PH’s shuttle to avoid walking. Breakfast quality was strong as is typical in Tokyo. Only hiccup was the FD forgetting about the Secret Password “Stay Cool” mocktail at check in, but they gave an extra one to make up for it. They offered a third one but declined. Staff was a bit more youthful and fun, and slightly deviated from the typical “Keigo” style in Tokyo which was refreshing. No business center so had to print with FD.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
20,000 points is unusual. I’d gladly redeem that amount each time, but that’s unrealistic once Japan fully reopens.
