Per hotel market data provider Smith Travel Research, Four Points is categorized as "upscale," while Marriott bills Four Points Express as a midscale option.

Previously the Moxy were the cheapest hotels in the Marriott portfolio in Japan (not counting Fairfields which tend to be motels), but they have creeping up in price. Now around ¥20,000-¥30,000/night.

During last year's launch, Marriott touted Four Points Express' signature hallmarks of clean, comfortable guest rooms, free breakfast and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Unlike the Fairfields in Japan which do not offer free breakfast, even to Plats/Titanium/Amb.

EDIT: from the hotel homepage...The breakfast menu includes four different set meals, with a choice of Japanese or Western food. Breakfast is served from 7:00 AM to cater to guests leaving early.*This is a tenant restaurant and is not eligible for Marriott Bonvoy member benefits. Complimentary breakfast is not currently served at Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kyoto Oike.

NOTE: Marriott seems to have two names for this place right now: Four Points Flex and Four Points Express.
