Any thoughts on these locations?

Also, would love to get your thoughts on the difference bw Sheraton Miyako Osaka, Westin Osaka vs. Courtyard Shin-Osaka, ignoring the proximity to the bullet train station. Westin Osaka seems to be more conveniently located, and I may have to work EST, so having access to cafes/restaurants open 24 hours is nice, but wanted to see if the location would justify the price difference and/or if Sheraton / Courtyard had a nicer lounge. Would love to get your thoughts...
I would pick the Marriott Miyako over the W but that's mostly for views and the fact that my W stay had weird issues (perhaps one-offs - who knows?). I can't imagine the Sheraton or Courtyard would have a nicer lounge than the Westin - though have only stayed at the Westin between those three.
