Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Absolutely.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked cheapest, received 1 King Bed Classic Minatomirai View Club (Former Club InterContinental City View Room).

How are the rooms?
45sqm. Interior design made me imagine the globe-trotter suitcase. Excellent view. Well done engineering review especially power plugs placement included USB power supplies is well considered. Also night lights placement is well considered. Bathrooms have electric privacy glass. No any difference between club room and deluxe room, other than the club benefits.

- - - - - A little bit far from the train/subway stations.

Value for $ or One Rewards Points?
Yes, average 350USD per night for classic room is triple price of IC Yokohama Grand, but it has worth to pay.
