The choices and the sides dishes for the various rice and soup stuff are similarly well stocked with choices. We spent four nights here hubbing out of the train station or going up one stop to the main Osaka station to use Japan Rail or shopping - various nearby tourist sites. Lounge was well stocked and atttended to - during the day and during the busy times (5PM free food, etc.).
Gym is well maintained, staff is solid quality, clean and even gave me the platinum benefits on both rooms!
Great experience there and will return.

Do either of you have an e-mail address for the hotel? I'd like to message them about the cost of breakfast per day.
I am looking to book 2 rooms for myself and 2 seniors. My thought was to book one room in my name for Platinum benefits and the second room at the senior rate. The only issue is the lack of breakfast. There's a 21000 JPY difference (over 3 nights) between the senior rate and the cheapest breakfast included rate. One review on TripAdvisor mentioned there was a 20% discount on breakfast for Marriott members so I'd like to do the math on whether paying for it separately at the hotel makes sense.
