- Corner Suite King is a true 1 bd suite (60sqm) with a decently spacious living room and a combination shower and bath tub
- Minibar except alcohol is free, which is great (unclear if this applies for non-suite rooms - front desk implied it was free because of the room I was in)
- Breakfast was very high quality. For 6600 JPY, you get 1 a la carte item from a small menu (avo toast, eggs, asian breakfast noodles among the ~6 or so options), espresso drinks / tea / juice, and a great breakfast buffet. Tasty pastries, jams, cold cuts, yogurt, and condiments
- Only criticism I have of the breakfast is that it was very western - some more asian options couldve been nice
- Service has been excellent so far. Seems like they imported some pretty experienced folks from other properties - service during breakfast was attentive and polished, but not overbearing
- Overall, a great value for current prices, especially with globalist breakfast. Currently only around ~450 (before taxes/fees) during cherry blossom season for a base room
Probably will take some time for them to get feedback and make adjustments at breakfast. They do advertise contemporary European cuisine created by Sergio Herman.
