Tried to check in at 12pm with FHR, moved to exec lounge, told 20m wait, took 30m until passport and card taken, some back and forth about reservations, and I still haven't received my room key at 107pm. Completely subpar checkin compared to Conrad Osaka, Park Hyatt Kyoto, Roku Kyoto LXR.
Edit: to echo above, had to make reservations for evening drinks in exec lounge. 1 hour timeslots. I booked 810pm-910pm. 7pm-8pm and 550pm-650pm I think were also available.
Did you get a room upgrade? I checked in yesterday and actually got both my rooms downgraded from bay view to city view when I checked in last night compared to what the Hilton app was showing pre-checkin.
