Of course, I appreciate that these things might be impractical in a city hotel, but then what other above-and-beyond service could you expect?

I was just about okay with the JPY 130k rate I paid pre-Covid, but the near-300k rate now is laughable (although in line with the general craziness of the past year). Hey, I guess at least it's not 500k like Kyoto! (All figures including taxes/charges)
That's interesting. One review last year said all the staff addressed him my name and knew his room number. Maybe it's improved?
